We use our outdoor areas daily. Children have a range of equipment to help develop their gross motor skills. Children have access to climbing equipment, a range of bikes, scooters and balance bikes.
This half term the children will be practising the following skills:
jumping
hopping
skipping
Fine Motor
Fine motor activities will be available for the children to take part in and develop their skills using a range of equipment including tweezers, scissors, pencils and threading beads.
Children will learn:
how to hold a pencil correctly
how to sit at the table properly
how to use scissors to make snips in paper
how to form the letters correctly in their name
At the beginning of the year, the children will be learning how to make different patterns. These patterns include:
vertical lines
horizontal lines
crosses
squares
triangles
circles
Children will also learn how to write the letters of the alphabet during their daily 'Little Wandle' handwriting sessions. Each day your child will learn a new phoneme and will learn a new formation phrase to help them understand how to form each letter.
