Handwriting can be relaxing or it can be something that children find challenging. The boys were very confused this morning when our handwriting had no pens or pencils – instead we practised getting our hands ready for writing, with sand, playdough and paper scrunching and tearing. The boys also got to write in big letters on the promethean board.

Our calm book area has a lovely new set of Roald Dahl books thanks to Mrs Glen. Mrs Glen and Mr McCabe read these books with the children at snack time, and I think they both enjoy this as much as the pupils!
