Weka Tēina loves handwriting

In Weka Tēina handwriting is very enjoyable for all of us. We rotate around 3 different stations each handwriting session. These are handwriting in our books where we use the language of Casey Caterpillar to form our sounds for the week and practise those we have already covered, fine motor skill activities and different letter formation activities. Maisy really enjoyed used the tennis ball to strengthen the muscles in the hand she writes with by making the tennis ball gobble some different sized pom poms.

Here are some photos of us completing our handwriting on Thursday.

Emma, Maisy and Cooper all focussing really well on their handwriting and the formation of the /h/ sound. Casey Caterpillar has taught us that h is formed by a tall stick, tunnel.

Angus and Logan show us their fantastic work.

The yellow highlighter shows us which letter we thought was best on each line. We highlight our own work in yellow on a Tuesday and a Thursday.

Sienna was our 'Handwriter of the day' and her work is proudly displayed. Mrs Scott asked us what we thought about handwriting when we were writing this blog post and this is what we said.... Logan said "I love handwriting." Cooper said "I like handwriting writing and reading letters." Sienna said "I like highlighting my own work and choosing the one I think is best." Maisy said "I like doing the activities at handwriting time." Emma said "I liked using the tennis ball." Angus said "I like writing the Harry hippotamus sound." Well done Weka Teina, you are awesome handwriters.
