What's in a name?

Ash class is always learning what all of our names look like and practises writing them.  We look at our names, count the letters and claps in them and do movements to them. We also will start to use sensory materials such as playdough and sand to write our names. We encourage you to work at home with your child wherever they are at with becoming more familiar with writing their name. It may mean forming the letters in sand or with playdough, or it may mean asking them to write down names for a specific purpose. If they are already writing their name, chances are they are using only capitals - encourage them to also write them with lower case letters. It is the one thing they love to do - because it is their name!!
