Year 5 Handwriting Practice

At the fire station, Harrison, Hemi and Talia are preparing a notice for their community. Practise keeping your letters on the line, using even spacing and forming letters carefully. Write with a relaxed grip and use your usual school handwriting style.

Letter formation warm-up

Copy each row carefully. Keep the letters a consistent size and leave a small, even space between them.

1.Copy each letter group three times in your neatest handwriting: c c c | a a a | d d d | o o o. Start each letter in the usual place for your handwriting style.

2.Choose the description that best explains how to form a lower-case c. Select one answer.

Begin near the top and curve anti-clockwise, leaving an opening on the right.
Begin at the bottom and draw a straight line upwards.
Begin in the middle and draw a closed circle.

3.Copy these tall-letter groups three times: l l l | t t t | h h h. Keep the tall strokes a similar height and make each letter sit neatly on the line.

Numbers and useful words

The crew needs a clear notice that everyone can read.

4.Write the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 twice each. Make each numeral clear and keep them the same height.

5.Copy the fire-station words twice: alarm, crew, ladder, safety. Leave clear spaces between words and keep your letters evenly sized.

6.Which sentence has clear spaces between its words? Select one answer.

Thecrewcheckedtheladder.
The crew checked the ladder.
The crewchecked theladder.

Write a clear message

Hemi is making a notice for the fire station. Copy the sentence carefully, including its capital letter and full stop.

7.Copy this sentence in your neatest handwriting: “The crew checks its safety gear each morning.”

8.Write a new sentence of your own about a fire station. Use at least six words, leave spaces between words, and finish with the correct punctuation.

9.Look back at your sentence. Tick each statement that is true: my letters sit on the line; my word spaces are clear; I used a capital letter and end punctuation.
