Week commencing 22nd March 2021 - Lindfield.

Welcome to our blog.

This week our focus has been on Literacy – Writing.

We have been observing …

*Can the children distinguish between the marks they make as they draw, paint or write?

*Do they give meaning to their marks?

*Can they continue a rhyming string?

*Do they hear and say the initial sound in words?

*Are they beginning to blend sounds together to make words?

*Can they link sounds to letters?

*Can they write their own name?

When we arrived at The Acorns on Monday morning we had a very special visitor in our garden … He was exploring the pirate ship and was excited to wander around looking for food. We were very excited to see him!

We set up a writing workshop area in the kitchen – each day there were opportunities for the children to make marks in a variety of ways and using a selection of writing tools.
