    Let’s warm up for handwriting by having a go at some dough disco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBsNhwxzgc

    Today’s letter for handwriting is ‘m’. Have a practise at writing the letter ‘m’. You may like to try one of these activities:

    -Using a pencil, end of a paint brush or anything else you may have to write ‘m’ in playdough.

    -Write ‘m’ on the playdough using a pen and then follow the lines using a small toy.

    -Paint bag writing.

    Literacy Live TEAMS session at 10.30am (complete this activity after):

    Today’s learning intention is to write about a character from a fairy-tale story. To be successful today you will be able to: identify a character, decide if the character is good or bad, segment the sounds to write words, and attempt to write a short sentence.

    For today’s activity I would like you to draw/paint or even collage a picture of your favourite character and write their name. Perhaps then you may like to label your picture with some words (see the example).

    Next I would like you to write a sentence about the character you have chosen, here are some sentence starters you may like to use:

    My character is………..

    My character is from the story of…………..

    My character is good/bad because……..
