Penpals for Handwriting – Second Edition Gill Budgell and Kate Ruttle Supported by

Penpals for Handwriting is our handwriting scheme for 3 to11 year olds. Learning from quirky characters that teach them about the different letter shapes, children progress through five stages to develop a fast, fluent handwriting style. The series is ideal for whole-class teaching with digital resources that provide interactive content, such as animations of patterns, letters and joins.

Straight lines and crosses

Unit 7

Developing fine motor skills: Messy play

Early Learning Goal links:

Checklist:

Physical development: moving and handling; Expressive arts and design: exploring and using media and materials, being imaginative. Plus: Personal, social and emotional development: self-confidence and self-awareness.

• Match resources to skills development. • Select and adapt resources to build on children’s interests. • Make sure you have an exciting range of materials and resources available. • Ensure dough (or similar) is freshly made and hygienic to use. • Ensure equipment is clean. • Make sure provision is available in both inside and outside settings. • Check for food allergies if using food stuffs.

Key vocabulary: ‘mix’, ‘squish’, ‘squeeze’, ‘thump’, ‘bash’

Ten ideas for developing handwriting through messy play Resource

Description

Benefit

1 Dough

• Thick and sticky or thin and watery

• Model, create or cook. This is a good exercise for fingers and to strengthen hand muscles. Work from the shoulder and elbow for larger movements and from the hands and fingers for smaller movements. • Basic dough still has a valuable part to play, but try adding textures or aromas for added interest.

2 Water

• Coloured, bubbly, glittery

• Pour, mix, stir, splash or squirt paint with hands or equipment. • Use equipment to explore, e.g. squirting bottles, pipettes, sieves. • Paint with water outside on walls, fences, playgrounds.

3 Mud

• Thick and sticky or thin and watery

• Try fishing things out of different materials, e.g. stars in dough, bugs in mud, plastic animals in jelly, or pressing things in to create imprints. • Fill moulds. • Smear, spread, print and build by sticking materials together. • Mould if solidity allows. This is a good exercise for the hands, arms, wrists and shoulders.

Creative Mark-making 4 Clay

5 Paint 6 Glue

Teacher’s Book

7 Sand

• Solid and hard or soft and powdery

8 Foodstuff: jelly andmarshmallow, sauces and cereals, cornflour gloop

• Solid and slimy jelly or soft, sticky and stretchy marshmallows – add oil or washing up liquid or liquid soap to make material slimy • Slimy, pungent in smell and colour – use food colouring • Cornflour gloop has to be squeezed hard with tense muscles and then relaxed muscles to let the gloop melt

• • • • •

Create 3D structures using straws (bendy or straight). Create towers by balancing one on top of the other. Squelch through fingers. Stretch the jelly and marshmallows apart. Smear, spread, print. This is a good exercise for the hands, arms, wrists and shoulders.

• Around 1–2 years. • Use of upper body muscles. • Movement comes mainly from the shoulder with the arm moving as a unit.

2 Beginning to use the fingers: no longer using whole-hand grasp. • Around 2–3 years. • Use of forearm. • Movement is still quite stiff but there may be some wrist movement.

3 Holds pencil between thumb and two fingers: no longer using whole-hand grasp. • Around 3–4 years. • Both of these grips are the crude beginnings of the tripod grip. The hand tends to move as a unit, with limited wrist movement.

4 Moving towards the tripod grip. • Around 4–6 years. • Holds pencil near point between first two fingers and thumb and uses it with good control. • Finger movements and wrist now in play. • Moving to a comfortable and efficient tripod grip: a precise three-way or tripod use of thumb, index and middle fingers.

Coding Club Challenge your students to create their own mystery game or e-book reader with this series of coding books. With clear explanations and a step-by-step layout, the series starts with basic skills and works its way up over three flexible levels. The core books introduce the skills needed at each level, while additional books give students the chance to develop and practise skills in areas that interest them. The code is suitable for Mac, Windows and Linux users and is compatible with Raspberry Pi.

Python

Next Steps

entry.get() applies the get() function to the entry widget. This collects whatever text has been typed in to this text entry box and assigns it to the entered_text variable.

Codi Clu ng b

Next we clear the text box widget called output with this widget’s delete() method. This takes two arguments. The 0.0 says start deleting from line 0 (i.e. before line 1) and before character 0 (i.e. the beginning). END is a constant that always refers to the position after the last character in the text box. We could also have replaced END with a line.character index but END is easier.

Delving Deeper

Did you know that the glossary contains all the key words from this book and Python Basics?

The indexes referred to in the delete() method work like coordinates but actually indicate where the cursor goes when selecting text. The rows or lines count from 0, before the first line, then 1 is the first line, 2 is the next etc. The character index (or column index) counts from 0, before the first character, then 1 after it, 2 next etc. Don’t forget a space is a character. For example, my_string = "text| widget box" the cursor is at index position (1.4).

The next line of code finds the definition in the dictionary using the entered text as the key. Finally, this is added to the text box widget called output using the widget’s insert() method. This takes two arguments: 1 where to start the insertion: (END) i.e. the beginning (we have just cleared output) 2 what to insert: the definition found in the dictionary in the previous line.
