We are really encouraging the children to use and develop their fine motor skills in all areas of the classroom be it jigsaws, playdough, cutting, sticking or using lego. The more fiddly things they get to do the stronger and more precise their pencil control becomes. Doing their own zips, jumpers, shoes and buttons also helps, as well as helping them to be more independent. Please do look at the ideas on the newsletter this week and do keep encouraging the children to persevere.
