Writing Skills Workshop for Reception Parents

On Wednesday 10th March an eager group of Reception Parents joined Ms Vicki for the return of our onsite Parent Workshops. The focus of this session was to explore how the Reception team teaches the skills needed for writing and what this looks like in a practical classroom context. 

Activities such as ‘dough disco’ were demonstrated, the development of fine motor skills, the application of phonics skills and the natural writing progression were discussed during the workshop. Tips and hints for how parents can support children at home were given, with links to resources on Firefly.

A copy of the slides used in the presentation can be found within the Reception Firefly pages.
