Week 3
This week we will be looking at the Nursery Rhyme Incy Wincy Spider.
Join in with the rhyme, remember to join in with all the actions!
Here are some questions to discuss with your family:
- What is the name of the main character in the rhyme?
- Where is the rhyme set? Is it inside or outside?
- What is Incy Wincy ?
- What is the weather like in the rhyme?
- How many times did Incy climb up the spout?
- What happened at the beginning of the rhyme?
- What happened at the end?
- Here are some nice stories all about Spiders. Share them with your family and discuss what happens.
- Pre-writing practice develops fine motor muscles which enable us to grip a pencil correctly and have control over the pressure as well as control over the movement and direction of our writing.These skills do not come naturally to all children and need to be practiced. Like so many other skills that need development, making it fun is the key to practicing these fine motor skills!
Use these fun, spider themed pre-writing practice strips to do just that by helping the spiders to their webs!
