Writing sentences

1st February 2024Mrs Price

Today we practiced saying a sentence and then writing it. We talked about writing on the line, spaces between words, capital letters, full stops and pinching Fred fingers.

The progress in the children’s writing this term is fantastic.

Story Mapping

Today we created a story map of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. The children were able to retell the story as we went along and decide what picture we should draw.

Charlotte and Edith then created their own fantastic story map by cutting out pictures and sticking the, on, and then fantastically re told the story using it. They also did some beautiful handwriting to write their names on it, well done girlies you are amazing!
