What have we done so far to meet the new expectations and how can you help? Early Years – Mrs Prudhoe Early Years – Mrs Prudhoe Mathematics – Mrs McManus Mathematics – Mrs McManus Reading, Writing and Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation – Miss Rogan and Mr Berriman Reading, Writing and Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation – Miss Rogan and Mr Berriman

What is important in Early Years? Mrs Prudhoe Letter formation and handwriting! Introduction of cursive writing or ‘sweeping letters’ as we call it. Each letter begins at the line and sweeps up. The children form them in sand, shaving foam, paint, etc and then with pencils or pens. By this stage in the year many children are writing independently and are spelling regular 2 and 3 letter words and some irregular words. Laying foundations for the older children to have neater and more fluent writing. For more information about writing and reading and maths – see me at the back!
