  • Marvin the Monkey in Reception.

    Published 30/01/22, by Andy Mari

    Every day the children in reception get a visit from Marvin the Monkey.  Marvin is a friendly, stripey monkey who teaches the children to write cursive letters. Each letter he teaches them has a story and a picture to help them remember how to write the letter correctly. Marvin has two golden rules - start on the line every time and start with a little smile. Every day Marvin looks at the children's handwriting and if he is really pleased with the children he gives them a special Marvin clap. Look how quickly and beautifully the children have learnt to form their letters. At Roebuck Academy we are writers.

In Reception we are scientists and writers.
