Drawing vertical lines, retracing and forming recognisable letters.

The children joined an ongoing activity today as we drew around stencils using pencils and felt-tip pens. We drew patterns and the children practiced drawing vertical lines and retracing their steps as they went along. We enjoyed watching what our friends were doing and making comparisons and finding similarities.

Later, I introduced water colour paints to all the children. Each child was given a copy of their own name.  Children chose their colours and went about painting the letters in their names as they sounded out the letters phonetically.  We displayed all their work on a board, ready to show parents at pick- up time later.
