Springing into Spring Pencil Control for EYFS/KS1

It takes lots of time and energy! This little 20 page booklet is a good introduction for those children in the early years that are ready for that next step-writing! Lines are differentiated in thickness and length, the pages cover left to right writing, up and down and right to left. It teaches curves and other types of formation.
Little ones will love this!

This is just some really simple bunting to display 'Welcome Back!' or 'Welcome!'

It's important that when students have grasped the concept of phonics that we support them in their independent writing, this means extending their learning, using that phonetic knowledge and applying it. This pack will encourage students to write, it's a child-led activity. Every page includes a picture to encourage children and give them an idea of what to write about. It also works great for those emergent writers that prefer colouring! They get to do both! Once completed, these are great for evidence based profiles or portfolios, depending on your school policy.
❂ 20 templates with pictures, 4 lines below for students to write.
