The C track! When children are just beginning to form letters this activity using big arm movements can help and it's also motivating and fun. The green and red dots signify where to start and end. @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/IAV7rCyDUU— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) January 17, 2025

Practicing our #OT skill of the month. Children with reduced hand strength/ coordination can begin by picking up larger objects with the tweezers. Here we have used cotton reels and this young man did a great job of picking them up and transfering to the tub! @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/wwtNJkZ3F4— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) January 17, 2025

Happy new year! @Topcliffeschool Our new skill for January is using tweezers and pegs to strengthen hands and fingers. There are lots of fun and engaging ways this can be practiced. Please share any at home practice with your child's teacher on class dojo 🤩 pic.twitter.com/604z3mR2Hc— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) January 9, 2025

The #OT 'What's in the box?' activity this week @Topcliffeschool We sang Old McDonald and the children put their hand in the box to find an animal. There were other random objects inside so this was about using touch without vision to develop tactile awareness and discrimination! pic.twitter.com/bBkJE59615— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) December 19, 2024

A festive multi sensory approach to letter formation over the last 2 weeks here @Topcliffeschool in #OT sessions. This has been a really engaging activity which has positively impacted on improving letter formation and mark making. pic.twitter.com/JcWCBS79FF— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) December 12, 2024

For some of our students @Topcliffeschool completing activities where feet have to leave the ground can be quite frightening. This half term, this pupil has been standing and balancing completely unsupported on the end of this low beam. Look at that smile! 🤩🌟👏 pic.twitter.com/IliOGih9ps— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) December 13, 2024

Big arm movements help our children to get ready to form letters and shapes! The ribbons we use add a really fun element to this activity and the children love using them in our #OT sessions @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/gtnEzS9qWi— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) November 29, 2024
