Getting ready for reading and writing

MOVE THOSE BODIES!
Getting ready to form letters means understanding words such as up, down, curve, around and straight. So we picked up our flipper flappers and got our bodies moving in different ways! 


Controlling scissors needs hand eye coordination just like writing does, so we have been working our fingers hard this week.

LOVING MARK MAKING

Some of us have been practising forming letters in our names. Super concentration and control from them all!



PRINT ALL AROUND US
We have been looking closely at labels and logos, and have been spotting matching words around our room. We also spotted letters that some of our names begin with.





BOOK TIME!
We are very excited at having our very own Book Time library of books we can choose, and take home to share with our families. Children are recalling parts of stories and talking about which part they liked.

A lovely week of building early reading and writing skills. Keep up the good learning, Little Conkers!
