WRITING

Children have practiced formation of all letters before the school closure. Please see the picture below for POSTURE/WRITING INSTRUCTIONS and PENCIL GRIP before you begin writing with your child.

THIS WEEK WE WILL CONTINUE WRITING OUR NEWS – TWO SENTENCES THIS WEEK

Please use lined paper. A copybook would be best so children could keep their writing together and see an improvement.

Please use the videos where possible to ensure letter formation is correct.

Please try your best to help children form their letters correctly. It will be difficult for children to get the sizing of their letters correct so please help them to stay between the lines where possible.

Each day we will write the same sentence changing the day of the week AND a sentence about Summer (see below).

Practice writing each sentence 3 times.

Good Morning,

We hope everybody has enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. It has been nearly 8 weeks since we had to close our school for the health and safety of students and staff. The past few weeks have been extremely difficult for everybody. Thank you all for your continued support and we appreciate the hard work you have been putting in at home.

Last Friday, we heard the upsetting news that we will not be returning to school until September. We were so disappointed as our only wish was for us all to return to school and see the boys and girls again. We did not want our school year to finish like this.

As always, we will continue to work with you over the next few months to finish the school year on a positive note.
