Meaningful Mark Making

Summer term is always an interesting one: as so many of our friends are ready to go to primary school, we find they are beginning to use all the knowledge and skills they have learned over the year.

Staff always find ways to encourage children and support them to make meaningful marks.
Having reflected on our 100th birthday party at the weekend and our chicks that visited, children have been writing cards.
Children were supported to share their talk, their ideas and thoughts. 
We made thank you cards for Tesco, Old Palace Primary School and our mystery bear.
Some children used their knowledge of phonics to write words. Others drew pictures and some made other marks. 

See if you can find meaningful ways for children to make marks at home: shopping lists, menus, family members and celebration banners!
