Class 5 Wonderfull Art
We have been working on a piece of artwork in the Tinga Tinga style. We are having some much fun being creative and we can’t wait to see what it looks like when we have put everything together.
Class 5: Super Handwriting
In Class 5 we have been focussing on improving the presentation of our work. We have been thinking a lot about our handwriting and if we are forming letters correctly, writing on the lines, keeping our letters a consistent size and using ascenders and descenders. Each day I have been choosing children to receive a postcard for improvements in their handwriting. Today it was just too hard to choose so we have 9 handwriting champions with many more children who are right behind them! I wonder who will receive our handwriting postcards tomorrow?
