We are doing a lot of activities in class around the children's names. One activity that we are doing is looking at someone's name that has been cut up and mixed up and trying to put it in the right order! The children really enjoy doing this. I will be sending home your child's cut up name in an envelope for them to practise mixing it up and putting it back in the right order. If you are able, please guide them in doing this. You can extend this by also looking at other people's names in your family, and doing the same thing. This can lead to observations about letters and literacy in a fun and meaningful way. You can discuss how many letters or claps each name has, what their name start or ends with, or what shapes they see in their letters. I cannot tell you exactly when your child will get their name, but look out for it in their backpack within the next couple of months.
