This week, they have started using the **first join to Set 1 letters**, carefully practising how to form each letter and connect them neatly. We have been impressed by the children's concentration, perseverance and pride in their work as they develop this important skill. With regular practice, their handwriting is becoming increasingly fluent, neat and consistent. Well done, everyone! ✏️⭐️👏 [Year 2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-2) [English](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0054.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-30-16-49-mastering-number-5-and-a-bit) Previous ### [Mastering Number - '5 and a bit'](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-30-16-49-mastering-number-5-and-a-bit) Next ### [Nursery - ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-01-13-39-nursery) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
