Handwriting - Fine Motor Skills

Today we focussed on our fine motor skills. We did some special exercises to warm up and wake up our fingers. This made sure our hand muscles were warmed up ready to start writing. We then practised holding our pencils correctly and learnt a rhyme to help us pick up our pencils and hold them right. Children then practised drawing some shapes and lines. We did some straight lines and some circles and spirals. All of these exercises will help us when it comes to writing and forming our letters correctly.
