LO: To practise my handwriting.

Today you are going to show off your wonderful handwriting skills. The letters you are going to practise today are l, m, n and o. Below is the letter formation sheet with rhymes to help you.

Task 1: 

l, m, n and o

- choose one or more of the following ideas:

• Use your pointing finger as a pencil and practise the motion of the letters and the joins : in the air, on the ground, on a wall or on someone's back.
• If you have chalk, why not write your letters on the ground outside?
• Or if you are lucky enough to have a sandpit write your letters in the sand.
• Another option is to use a paint brush and water to write your letters on a fence or the ground.

If it helps you can say the rhyme as you sweep your finger to form the letter.
