Reception Kinetic Letters

Date: 14th Apr 2026 @ 9:31pm

This term the children in Reception will be trialling our new handwriting scheme- Kinetic Letters.  This scheme is designed to strengthen the body, train correct movemnet patterns amd help the children develop a fluent, confident handwriting style that supports their wider learning.  This week we have been focusing on improving our posture by adopting a range of different animals stances designed to strengthen our bodies in preparation for writing.  These stances included the meercat, the penguin, the stone lion, the bear and the lizard.  We have been practising these stances throughout the day aswell as our daily handwriting session.  We have also been learning the 6 basic movement patterns  down, up, push, pul, slide and flick.  We have been practicing them in the air, in our sand trays and on our brand new Kinetic Letters hiteboards.  The children have throughly enjoyed this new and exciting multi sensory approach and we can't wait  to monitor the impact of this new programme.
