Common mistakes
Pupils can only stand when making letter shapes.
Pupils can lie, sit, or stand to make letter shapes.
For parents, carers and teachers
- It's ok for pupils to work in 3's, rather than leaving out a friend. This ensures that PE is a positive experience for all. Pupils will need some prior knowledge of capital letters before this lesson. Displaying keywords and phonics patterns is a nice cross curricular link for this lesson.
