Each week as part of our Literacy lessons, the Foundation students rotate through fun and motivating fine motor-based activities. These learning experiences help students develop strong, flexible fingers, hands and arms. They also promote hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills and foster language and conversational skills.

Two of our favourite activities this term have been finger gym and the day we arrived at school to discover our chairs had grown hair! Who knew learning could be so much fun! We are very proud of how hard you are working at school Homegroup M and Homegroup H.

In Grade One, students have been continuing to work on their fine motor skills by participating in formal handwriting sessions. Our focus has been on body letters such as; a, o and m. We have also been working on using the dotted thirds to correctly form our letters and sit them on the lines. This will be a continued focus in our Literacy lessons throughout the term to consolidate our skills.
