連結手書きを練習しましょう！英国筆記体スタイル - 7～11 歳向け、自分のペースで学習

This class will recap letter formation, then teach the main joins, following the UK cursive style of handwriting.  Please see the class image to confirm this is the style you are looking for, and feel free to contact me with any queries or for further information.

The class will consist of two sessions each week, with new content becoming available on Mondays and Thursdays.  Each session will begin with a pre-recorded video of between 10 and 15 minutes.  Links will be provided for these unlisted videos on YouTube.  Each learner can view and follow along with at their own pace, pausing or replaying sections as they choose.  The videos will begin with a warm up for your hands and fingers, followed by detailed demonstrations of the focus of the session (see below).  Practise pages will be available to print off for learners to complete independently, which can be uploaded to the classroom for review by the teacher.  I will provide personal feedback on all work uploaded. Learners will have the opportunity to provide and receive feedback on their work from their peers, in the form of two stars and a wish. They will also have the opportunity to carry out self assessment.

Please note: UK conventions for spelling, date format and so on will be used in this class.

There will be two introductory videos:
1. An introduction to setting yourself up for handwriting practise.  The video will cover how to position your paper, chair and table.  We will look at a selection of writing implements (pens, pencils etc) and consider how to hold and use them.
2. An introduction to using 2 stars and a wish to provide feedback to your peers.
