This is a year long set of exercises I gave to a Year 3 class in the UK. It gets the children to practice difficult joined letter formations. First they practice the letters, than words with the letter form and finally in complete sentences. Each document contains around four tasks. I used this as a task for a guided reading rotation and got the children to practice their handwriting in a handwriting book.

This presentation is filled with load of Thunks! Thunks are unusual questions to make you think. Examples could be: If the world was rules by rabbits, what would it look like? If you could have a million dollars or a million friends, which one would you chose? I use this bank of Thunks to get my class thinking at the start of the day and they love it. A lot of these questions have been taken and adapted from Ian Gilbert’s Little Book of Thunks.
