Dear Langley Family
and Friends,
Many of the Langley
children have taken a keen interest in the alphabet recently. They have been
identifying and recognising letters in the environment and have been
experimenting with creating letters using chalk in the outside environment. To
support this interest we have begun a small literacy project with a focus on
letters. This week the children have been using wooden letters to create images
in play dough. This has sparked many interesting conversations about letters as
children share their existing knowledge. Some children are able to identify
letters that are familiar to them such as the first letter of their name and
other family members. Other children have been exploring the letters by
creating imprints in the play dough and asking adults to identify them. We will
continue to explore letters and writing next week as we further experiment with
the formation of letters, identify them in our environment and look at
different forms and uses for writing.
Best wishes,
Jess, Kerry, Nicole, Sarah and
Emily
