Kinetic Letters - handwriting
We use Kinetic Letters as our chosen approach to teaching handwriting and I'm glad to say we'll be continuing this year. It helps us make our bodies stronger, hold our pencil correctly, and form our letters using six key movements.
There is some information and ideas for helping at home in the files for your information.
The children really enjoy learning letter formations in different ways and we've seen such an improvement already. We are so proud of the children for their hard work!
Year 3

Representing the trinity: Jesus the light of the world; God, the candle holding the flame up and the warmth representing the Holy Spirit.

Our Year Group Symbol: St Peter's keys to Heaven
In the Gospel of Matthew 16:19, Jesus says to Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Year 5
The Holy Trinity
Our Year Group symbol is the Trinity. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. 'triad', from trinus, "threefold") holds that God is three consubstantial persons or hypostases—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as "one God in three Divine Persons".
Year 6
The Dove
Our class symbol is the dove. The use of a dove and olive branch as a symbol of peace originated with the early Christians, who portrayed the act of baptism accompanied by a dove holding an olive branch in its beak and also used the image on their sepulchres. ... The dove and olive branch also appeared in Christian images of Noah's ark.
