During this half term, we will be focusing on securing the basic skills of writing and building fine motor skills to develop pencil control. We will be supporting the formation of letters and identifying special friends from their phonics lessons. During our English lessons, we are learning the narrative 'The Three Little Pigs by Axel Scheffler'. We are writing simple sentences and ensuring we have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces in the correct places.
We encourage children to use their phonic skills to segment (break up each sound) words before writing using their fingers to pinch each sound. We use Ruth Miskin's Read Write Inc phonics mats to support phoneme recognition.
If you wish to use a phonics mat at home please speak to a member of Year One Rabbits staff to ensure you are using the one school uses.
Further, we ask children to make perfect sentences using finger spaces, full stops and capital letters.
