Handwriting

At Brookfields Primary School, we currently are having a huge focus on handwriting.

We use the font you can see here.

We start our day with a quick handwriting session.

Your child can use the following code to log on at home:

In EYFS, we focus our teaching of handwriting around the correct formation of letters and numbers.

In Year 1, pupils begin to explore entry and exit flicks to support joining their letters.

In Year 2, pupils are taught to form lower-case letters which are consistent in size in relation to the capital letters used and with consistent spacing between letters and between words. Throughout Y2, pupils will be taught some of the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join handwriting.

In Key Stage 2, pupils are expected to produce neat, legible, joined handwriting with increasing speed and accuracy.
