DEVELOPING WRITING SKILLS
The creative table has been been busy this week with children wrapping "presents" for special people. Because we are focusing on writing for a purpose, the children were encouraged to write a label for the present.It has been really pleasing to see the children developing their letter formation and spotting letters they knew in words.
The writing area had been full most of the week with industrious little mark makers.
The children have enjoyed using paint to practise letters and line patterns. Different muscles are used when mark making on a vertical surface.
Next week is Book Week, including World Book Day!
"One Ted falls out of bed" by Julia Donaldson is our class book - lots of fun activities are being planned!
