Penpals for Handwriting

Supported by

Second edition Penpals for Handwriting is our handwriting scheme for 3 to 11 year olds. The fun characters teach children about the different letter shapes, as they progress through five stages to develop a fast, fluent handwriting style.

The series is ideal for whole-class teaching and includes digital resources with interactive content, including animations of patterns, letters and joins.

Teacher’s resource

Unit 2

Straight lines and crosses

Key learning

Our detailed teacher’s resources give you everything you need to run handwriting lessons with confidence, including:

• •

Using the language of straight lines and crosses.

Recognising straight lines and crosses.

•

Writing straight lines and crosses.

Using F2 Workbook 1 (p4–5) a Ask children to skywrite then to finger trace the straight lines in each section. b Encourage children to select the right implement to trace the straight lines. c Ask children to finish the straight line pattern.

1 Creative mark-making for continuous provision 1. Talk about straight lines in activities across the areas of learning and development.

2. Children go on a straight line hunt and record the lines found.

3. Encourage children to make straight lines in physical responses, following simple instructions.

4. Skywrite straight lines together.

5. Use the language of handwriting with children e.g. ‘straight line’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘across’, ‘sideways’, ‘up and down’, ‘begin’, ‘start’, ‘end’, ‘long’, ‘short’, ‘cross’.

6. Encourage children to mark-make with straight lines using a range of media.

7. Ask children to build straight lines with construction toys.

8. Use shape outlines geared to children’s interests and encourage children to fill them with straight line patterns.

9. Talk about the long-legged giraffe letters that are written from a straight line beginning: l, i, t, u, j, y.

Notice that they all begin with a straight line but then have other features (curves, curls, descenders, etc.).

10. Children may enjoy using some elements of F1 and F2 Interactives.

• Suggestions for both group and independent work • Suggestions for extra practice and home practice

Teacher’s Book

By Gill Budgell & Kate Ruttle

Assessment Assessment is a key part of monitoring a child’s handwriting progress, which is why we’ve made it easy for you to keep track of their development.

Assessment features include: • A beginning-of-year assessment to help you track pupil progress

Unit 29 Assessment Key learning • • •

a Talk about and read the menu together. Ask children to copy out the menu in their best handwriting, using all the joins they know. b Check the key learning points above plus any issues children can remember to add to their checklist for excellent handwriting. Do not penalise children who are now managing to transfer their knowledge of the key joins to new letters. However, we do not expect or show this transference until Penpals for Handwriting Year 3. c Children read and write the words. d Self- or peer-assess: ask children to read each statement on page 31. They should write the statement number and add a 9 or 8 to show whether they think they have achieved it. e Children finger trace and write the pattern.

Handwriting practice with a spelling focus: contractions a Read the words together. b Now ask children to write the words. Focus on the joins.

Check the key learning points. c Ask children to trace the words, then fill in the gaps in the chart. Remind them to take care with spacing when writing the contracted form. d Challenge activity: write a sentence using pronouns and a contraction. e Self- or peer-assess: ask children to tick the best join and a word with an apostrophe, finding one of each to improve.

Small group work: Practice Book • Read the menu together, spotting the known joins.

• Support children to copy out each line with care, providing baselines if this helps.

• Three baseline assessment books for identifying and supporting children who require additional help with handwriting Penpals Interactive

AD TO COME

Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring Inspired by teachers | Informed by evidence

At CEM, our aim is simple: we use world-class assessments and evidence to help teachers understand and support the children they work with.

Schools in 70 countries use our formative, adaptive assessments to strengthen UK and international education programmes for students aged 3-19, including GCSE, A Levels, Cambridge IGCSE™ qualifications and the IB Diploma.

Teachers can understand more about each student’s potential, track their progress and use the evidence to support good decision-making.

CEM is now part of the Cambridge family, joining Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment in a shared vision of improving education for all.

Speak to your local consultant to learn more about how CEM can help your school.

Created in partnership with the UCL Institute of Education (IOE), the world’s leading University for Education*, the series includes 144 titles across 11 Book Bands and four new Strands taking readers beyond White Band. You can use Cambridge Reading Adventures on its own, or to support your teaching in English, maths and science.

These include: • Full guidance for successful guided reading, including suggestions for supporting phonics, grammar, comprehension and new vocabulary

Books to develop confident, enthusiastic readers • Every child will find something they love: a mix of fiction and non-fiction with diverse topics for readers • Children progress from simple words at Pink A Band, to books with up to 3,500 words at Voyagers Strand

Going beyond learning to read After Transitional stage, reading changes from learning to read, to reading to learn. Our four Strands are for children reading confidently and ready to progress beyond White Band. Go to page 19 to find out more about Pathfinders, Wayfarers, Explorers and Voyagers.

• Follow-up activities that help your learners get creative with the stories • Key book details – word count, links to other curricula, high-frequency words and new vocabulary • Learning outcomes from reading the text

Cambridge Grammar and Writing Skills

NEW

Sarah Lindsay and Wendy Wren

Watch your learners grow in confidence as they develop their writing skills. They’ll write a newspaper article, adapt a myth and even create an advert for their favourite breakfast cereal! From haikus, fairy tales and plays to biographies, recounts and instructions, this series gives your learners the knowledge and skills to tackle a range of writing types.

Cambridge Grammar and Writing Skills Learner’s Book 1 Sarah Lindsay and Wendy Wren

• Uses product and process writing approaches to provide a framework for writing • Written for learners from all language backgrounds, it provides valuable consolidation for first language students and gives second language learners the opportunity to extend their skills

Model texts in each unit get learners familiar with the key features of each text type

These pages are from Cambridge Grammar and Writing Skills Learner’s Book 6

5 Clear explanation of the model text type

Explanatory writing: how is it done?

An explanation tells us how something is made or done.

It explains what happens in the order in which it is done.

Let’s read This is an explanation of how plastic bottles are recycled.

Here are a few important facts you should know before you read the explanation. These facts were compiled in 2018.

Fact file • Plastic has been around for over a century.

• 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic have been used worldwide since it was introduced.

• All around the world, every minute: – nearly 2 million single-use plastic bags are distributed – 1 million plastic bottles are bought.

• About 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year.

• Plastic can take up to 1000 years to biodegrade. This means that all the plastic ever produced is still around!

How Plastic Bottles Are Recycled Plastic is fantastic! It has given us so many things that make life better.

But plastic is also a huge problem! It causes so much pollution and is a danger to marine life. One of the answers is to recycle. Plastic can be used again and again, and this is how it is done.

STAGE 1: COLLECTING Firstly, plastic bottles are collected from homes and businesses.

In some countries, people have a separate bin for plastic rubbish. In other countries, people put all their rubbish into the same bin.

STAGE 2: SEPARATING Secondly, if the plastic bottles are mixed in with other rubbish, they have to be separated before they can be sent to the recycling plant.

STAGE 3: SORTING Plastic bottles arrive at the recycling plant in many different sizes, shapes and colours. The next step in the recycling process is to sort the plastic bottles into different types. Different types of plastic can be made into different things. The sorting can be done by hand or by machine. The bottles are then cleaned for the first time.

STAGE 4: SHREDDING After the bottles have been sorted and cleaned, they are shredded into smaller pieces. The pieces are then washed again to remove any of the original contents of the bottles and any paper labels that are still sticking to them.

Teacher’s resource

Each unit focuses on a different text type such as dialogue, recounts, reports or instructions. Model texts in each chapter show what good examples of each writing type look like – whether it’s character dialogue, recounts, reports or instructions. Specific activities help learners practise their grammar, in the context of each text type. Planning tools and an extended writing task develop essential editing, checking, planning and creative thinking skills.

Your essential companion to the course, the print and digital teacher’s resource includes everything you need to lead your lessons with confidence.

• Full guidance and lesson plans, along with unit warm-ups, marking criteria and ideas for assessment give you complete classroom support • The ’How to use this book’ feature gives you top tips for using the learner’s book

• Improve comprehension skills with the ‘Let’s Talk’ section in each unit which encourages learners to discuss the model text

• Answer keys for each activity help you quickly and easily check your learners’ answers

• The ‘Writer’s Toolbox’ supports learners with activity tips • Helpful tools, like planning scaffolds and mind maps, help learners understand how to plan extended writing tasks

Coding Club

Coding Club Challenge your students to create their own mystery game or e-book reader with this series of coding books. With clear explanations and a step-by-step layout, the series starts with basic skills and works its way up over three flexible levels.

The core books introduce the skills needed at each level, while additional books give students the chance to develop and practise skills in areas that interest them. The code is suitable for Mac, Windows and Linux users and is compatible with Raspberry Pi.

Analysis of Code Box 2.8 entry.get() applies the get() function to the entry widget. This collects whatever text has been typed in to this text entry box and assigns it to the entered_text variable.

Next Steps

Next we clear the text box widget called output with this widget’s delete() method.

This takes two arguments. The 0.0 says start deleting from line 0 (i.e. before line 1) and before character 0 (i.e. the beginning). END is a constant that always refers to the position after the last character in the text box. We could also have replaced END with a line.character index but END is easier.

Delving Deeper The indexes referred to in the delete() method work like coordinates but actually indicate where the cursor goes when selecting text. The rows or lines count from 0, before the first line, then 1 is the first line, 2 is the next etc. The character index (or column index) counts from 0, before the first character, then 1 after it, 2 next etc. Don’t forget a space is a character.

level 2 Chris Roffey

Did you know that the glossary contains all the key words from this book and Python Basics?

For example, my_string = "text| widget box" the cursor is at index position (1.4).

The next line of code finds the definition in the dictionary using the entered text as the key.

Finally, this is added to the text box widget called output using the widget’s insert() method. This takes two arguments: 1 where to start the insertion: (END) i.e. the beginning (we have just cleared output) 2 what to insert: the definition found in the dictionary in the previous line.
