Here are some photos of our Friday fun this morning. I am so proud of all of the children for getting through their first full week. Have a lovely well rested weekend everyone!

These patterns, when drawn correctly, are the fundamentals that children need to begin their handwriting journey. Before even starting letter formation, these patterns develop muscles and skills. Using the pinchy baby shark pencil grip, why not try this at home!

Subitising is when a child can look at a number of objects or dots, for example, and know how many there are without counting. They have been matching the correct number of beads to the numicon piece and have been making pictures from triangles when they haven’t been working in their small groups on subitising.

This is a notoriously tricky one to form correctly so let’s get practising!!

You can adapt this at home with paper and pen. This is a great way to check recognition of sounds as well as whether they know the sound that corresponds with the letter.

On Tuesday, we innovated on these stories and changed details on our story maps. For example, H turned the axe into a laser cutter! And some of us changed the characters. It was great to see all of the creativity.
