English

Today I want your child to ensure handwriting is as good as it can be. Here is a booklet where your child can copy the word, making sure their tall, small and low letters are clear. 

Handwriting booklet

If you are not able to print this booklet out, feel free to use the pink homework book, your child can copy the words on to lined paper, still making sure the tall letters are tall, the small letters are small and the low letters are low. 

Also it is important your child is holding their pencil or pen correctly. I have copied this from Mrs Smith's blog as the expectations are the same no matter what class you are in

Handwriting focus - how to hold a pencil correctly and sit at a table ready to write.

Here is how to help

1.  Lay the pencil down on the table with the point facing towards you.
   

   
   

   

   
   
2. Fly your Polly parrot fingers down to the pencil and grip it with your thumb and first finger (do not twist your hand)
   

   

   
   
3.  While gripping the pencil with your thumb and first finger pull the pencil towards you until it touches your hand between the finger and thumb - we call this "putting your pencil to bed"
   
   

   

   
   
4. Slide your middle finger under the pencil to support it.
   
   

   

   
   
5. 
   

 Tuck your finger two fingers under until they touch the palm of your hand.

How to sit correctly at a table when writing. Learning our school terminology.

We use -

• TNT - Tummy near table 
• BBC - bottom, back, chair
• 6 legs on the floor - this is your four chair legs, and your two flat feet on the floor
  
  
  
  
  

When we write at school we used line guide paper.  All the lines have different names.

They are called: 

• Top broken line
• Top solid line
• Bottom solid line
• Bottom broken line

These letters are small letters and they fit exactly between the two solid lines.

These letters are tall letters and they start from the top broken line and sit on the bottom solid line.

These letters are hanging down letters. They start at the top solid line, or sit between the two solid lines and go down to the bottom broken line.

This letter is the tallest letter. It starts at the top broken line and goes all the way down to the bottom broken line.

There is one letter which the odd one out. A t is a teenager t. It starts half way between the top broken line and the top solid line. It sits on the bottom solid line.

Wider Curriculum

Art

Last lesson you chose one of David Hockney's pieces of art to replicate (make a copy). Show this to the people you live with, what do they think? Ask them what one thing you could do to improve? Take their advice and do a second copy, trying to improve the areas suggested. Compare the 2 pieces of art, talk about how easy or difficult it was, compare it with David Hockney's original. Talk about the things you are proud of in your piece of art.

Forest School (Optional)

This week’s Forest School activity is all about the fabulous Earth Worm. This activity will show you how worms turn plant waste into soil. With your own wormery, you can feed and watch your recycling wrigglers at work!
