Writing in FS2

Date: 10th Nov 2026 @ 11:10am

The children are making excellent progress with their writing. We are enjoying our daily handwriting sessions and are now writing words using our phonics knowledge. Well done FS2.

At home, you can complete a range of activities to help with our writing. You can: 

• Practise writing your child's name
• Use the letter formation phrases in your child's homework to support handwriting 

We also complete lots of fine motor activities to strengthen our pencil grip. Here are some ideas for at home:

Use playdough, completing baking/cooking/chopping, scissor activities, lego play - these will help to strengthen your child's pencil grip.
