Click on the link below, scoll down until you come to the Continuous Cursive Letter - bottom to e joins section. 

 

Watch each animation in turn and then carefully copy the letter join 10 times. When you have done this, repeat with the next letter join  - watch the animation and copy 10 times. Continue until you have completed all the top e letter joins.  Write down 4 words which contain each of the letter joins.

 

Next, choose one word from each section and write a sentence for each.. Try and think of interesting sentences which begin in a different way and contain a range of punctuation. Try and make interesting vocabulary choices to engage, and ensure your handwriting is well presented
