Welcome to Elm

This week the children have continued to work on forming different letters. They have been working on using
anti clockwise movements to help them to form letters correctly. They have all been taking part in daily
                                                   'Funky Fingers' activities to help them to build their muscles ready for writing.                                                   If your child is drawing or writing at home, encourage them to lie on their tummy. This helps them to build their upper arm strength which, in time, helps them to develop their pencil control. 

Subitising - Why It Is Important

A video which clearly explains the concept we are instilling in Maths at school.  The KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) your child has brought home are also included in this page's attachments and run beautifully alongside the message you will hear in the video.  

Support for Phonics at home

Please CLICK HERE for videos showing the sounds we teach in Autumn and Spring terms.  There are also really handy guides to accompany what the children will be learning in school and might be useful for when the children bring home decodable reading books.
