Some ideas to support maths learning in Year 1

Casey the caterpillar for Handwriting

In Room 2 we are using the "Casey the Caterpillar" programme for handwriting. We learn a set of shapes, such as "tall stick" or "short stick" or "tunnel" and then use these shapes to form the letters. This helps the children to develop the correct letter formation. For a description of the shapes and the letters see the document below.
