Due to a technical error, we have been unable to publish photographs this week.
Over the past two weeks in English, we have been learning a range of skills to help us create books about ourselves. We have created a page each day about our self, our family, where we live, our favourite food, our favourite toy and a goal we would like to achieve by the end of year one.
As an author, we have learned that we need to apply many different skills when we are writing our books. We need to be able to:-
- Form our letters correctly
- Use a capital letter for our name
- Label a drawing
- Use finger spaces
- Say our sentence out loud
We have also learned how important it is to have the correct posture when we are doing our writing:-
- Our feet should be flat on the floor
- Our back should be straight
- We need to hold our pencil correctly
- Our book or paper should be at the correct angle
How you can help at home:-
- Encourage your child to create their own book at home, using the above suggestions to ensure correct posture for writing
- Encourage as many opportunities for writing as possible, for example shopping lists, a card for a family member, instructions for a game etc
- Complete the homework set on Seesaw
