Handwriting Patterns

At Bromstone we follow cursive script in our writing.  To help support this we encourage children to have lots of experience of patterning.

Every term your child will bring home a A3 sheet that they will fill with handwriting patterns.

This activity is great fun and also will help your child to develop their fluency, fine motor control and improve their letter formation.

When your child has finished their sheet please bring it back to school and we will display them in class to show all the children’s fantastic work! 

Handwriting patterns can be done in all sorts of ways; in sand at the beach, in shaving foam, cornflour, bubbles, etc.  The more opportunities your child has to pattern the more they will develop their handwriting. 

Reminders:

• Year One change class books on a Tuesday and Friday.
• We have already started PE for this term, please ensure PE kits are in school. We have started outdoor and indoor PE so please ensure they have appropriate clothing for both.
• Please make sure water bottles are sent in, these will be sent home at the end of each day.
