Handwriting

This term we are focusing on our handwriting. We are focusing on how we form each letter correctly to enable us to begin to join letters.

The general rule is that most of the letters begin at the top and once we put the pencil to paper we don't take it off until we finish the letter. There are exceptions to the rule such as k and d, but if you say the rhyme for the letter you will remember.
