Year 1 Developing Writers Parent Workshop

This week, the Year 1 teachers had the opportunity to hold a writing workshop for Year 1 parents. We were able to share the complex journey of writing and explain how many different skills are involved in writing. We showed parents the different ways we teach language acquisition in Year 1 and how to develop skills such as fine motor control to hold a pencil. We played some phonics games together and all the parents really enjoyed the “dough disco” where we learned how to strengthen our hands for writing. Thank you so much to the Year 1 parents for their enthusiasm!
