Letters are divided into letter families, according to how they are formed. Today, we will look at the letters in the Zigzag Monster Family.
Practise the letters from this family and also, copy the patterns that help with the formation of these letters. Think about the size of your letters. Remember - capital letters are bigger than your other letters.
Writing
The children at this school met a nurse and asked her lots of questions about her job.
Can you think of any questions you would want to ask a nurse or a doctor?
Write down your question and upload it to Twitter or Tapestry and we will get them answered for you.
