Wow – I can’t believe next week is February already.  Thank you to all the families who have been sending in photos and videos.  Some work has still to go on the blog as I have been having some technical issues this week – but it should be resolved on Tuesday.

Have fun with your writing and letters this week and remember to send me some photos.

Online Learning Jan 4 Letters and Sounds

Reece tried his letters with his sister.

As its wet outside today we decided to do some play doh letters after breakfast. Rheuben managed to tell me what the letters were and trying to copy them too 😊

Lara has been very busy!

Here is Lara learning to draw her letters at her grandads this morning. We have found the Masha and the Bear app is fantastic for helping them learn to draw letters and pictures associated  especially when she has had enough of the learning book.
