Our friend Casey the Caterpillar

We have been working really hard with our tuhituhi pu  (handwriting).  I have introduced the Casey the caterpillar programme to our tamariki. Everyday we practice on our whiteboards and twice a week we practice in our books. Here are some of the shapes we use to form our letters correctly. We always start from the top of our letter and we focus on lower case letters first.

 open mouth very big
 cricket leg
 possum tail
 hanging stick
 ladybird spot

I am really excited to see the gains our tamariki make
