The children followed oral language instructions, on how to trace some monsters and aliens.
As they carefully traced around the outline of the shapes, they then had to look for more detail on the inside of the shapes.
This activity is good for practising pencil and fine motor control skills. It also makes the students pay attention to detail so that they can describe their alien or monster better.
Colouring inside the lines was another skill that they practised.
We look forward to reading some descriptions of their monsters and aliens.
