Hello everyone.

This is Miss Afzal here again to share some more handwriting with you.

I'm so excited to be here.

I hope you're feeling excited too.

We're going to, as always, do our best.

We are as always going to have lots of fun.

Are you ready to begin? Let's get started.

The outcome for today's lesson is I can form the capital letters C, G, O, Q, M, N, W, and V.

We have got some keywords in today's lesson.

Let's go through them.

My turn, your turn.

Capital letter, ascender line, baseline, anti-clockwise, and continuous movement.

Fantastic.

Good to hear those loud and clear.

Today's lesson has four parts to it.

We'll begin by forming capital letters C and G.

Next, forming the capital letters O and Q.

After that, forming the capital letters M and N.

And finally, forming the capital letters W and V.

Let's begin with capital letters C and G.

What do you notice about these letters? Take a close look.

What do you notice? What do you see? Pause the video here.

They are both the letter C.

One is bigger than the other.

One is the capital letter C and the other is the lowercase letter c.

Capital letter is one of our keywords and the capital letter is the uppercase formation of the letter.

And as we can see on the right, we can see the lowercase formation of the letter.

So every letter in alphabet can be formed in two ways.

There's the capital letter formation which is bigger, and there's the lowercase formation which is smaller.

A capital letter is the uppercase formation of a letter.

The two formations can look the same or different.

Check for understanding.

Select the capital letters, pause video while you decide which of these are capital letters.

Well done if you selected the C in the middle, that's a capital letter C, and well done if you selected the O.

The end, that's a capital letter O.

A capital letter is the uppercase formation of a letter.

Proper nouns name specific people, places, or things.

They always need capital letters.

For example, Andeep is the name of a specific person so it has capital A.

Edinburgh Castle, again, it's specific, so it has capital letters.

And Oxford Street is a specific place so it has capital letters.

And if you think about when you write your name, you always begin with a capital letter because you are a specific person.

And common nouns like flower don't need capital letters.

The first word in a sentence always needs a capital letter.

We went to the shop, so we're gonna have a capital W.

She was happy with her dog, capital S.

The pronoun I is always a capital letter anywhere within a sentence.

I love apples.

Andeep and I went to the farm.

Check for understanding.

A capital letter should be used at the beginning of a sentence when writing a proper noun, when writing the pronoun I, when writing a common noun, like flower.

Pause the video and decide when a capital letter should be used.

Well done if you selected the first three.

For sure, we need a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, When writing a proper noun, like a specific person, place, or thing, and when writing the pronoun I wherever the I comes in a sentence.

Okay, the Cs are here, all the Cs are here.

The capital letter C is here.

The lowercase formation of C is here.

Let's take a good look at them.

What do you notice? What do you see? Tell someone nearby and pause the video here.

All right, did you notice that the capital letter C reaches up to the ascender line whereas the lowercase letter c reaches as high as the x-height line? It's an x-height letter.

Did you notice that they have a similar formation? Different size, but a similar way of being formed.

We've got the capital letter and a lowercase letter.

And here are the Gs.

All the Gs are here.

Take a good look at them.

What do you notice? What do you see? Tell someone nearby.

And pause the video here.

All right, the capital letter G starts just below the ascender line, and it has a cross the x-height line, whereas the low case letter G is starting on the X-height line and it has a descender, going down to the descender line.

They have a different way of being formed, the capital letter and the lowercase letter G.

Let's find out more about the capital C.

The capital letter C and the lowercase c are formed in a similar way, but different sizes.

The capital letter C starts just below the ascender line.

The capital letter C sits on the baseline.

It's formed by curling around in an anti-clockwise direction.

Okay, we have got some keywords here.

Let's get into them.

So the ascender line.

The ascender line is the top line in our set of tramlines.

The baseline in these tramlines is in green and it's a line that most of the letters sit on.

The letter C is formed by curling around in an anti-clockwise direction.

So anti-clockwise means the opposite way to the way that the clock turns.

So the clock goes around in a clockwise direction.

Think about when we're telling the time, and anti-clockwise is the other way.

And here is the G.

The capital letter G and the lowercase g are formed in different ways.

The capital letter G starts just below the ascender line.

The capital letter G sits on the baseline and is formed by curling around in an anti-clockwise direction, quite similar to the capital C.

It finishes with a cross on the x-height line.

Okay, it's time to form the capital letter C and G.

I'm gonna form these letters in the air using my finger.

Afterwards, it will be your turn.

I'm gonna begin with the capital letter C.

I'm starting just below the ascender line and I'm gonna go up to the ascender line, and I'm curling around in an anti-clockwise direction and I'm finishing just above the baseline.

Really quite nice and simple.

It's your turn.

Are you ready? Just below the ascender line.

Let's begin.

I'm gonna go up to the ascender line and then curl around in an anti-clockwise direction, finishing just above the baseline.

Let's try one more.

Just below the ascender line, let's go up to the ascender line, curling around anti-clockwise, down to the baseline.

Finish just above the baseline.

Oh yes, that's looking good.

And now I'm going to have a go of forming the capital letter G.

I'm gonna begin.

it's quite similar to the C to begin with.

I'm gonna begin just below the ascender line.

I'm gonna go up to the ascender line, curl around anti-clockwise, keep going down to the baseline, and then I'm gonna finish curl up to the x-height line.

I'm gonna take my pencil off the page and I'm gonna make a across at the x-height line.

It's your turn to form the capital letter G.

Let's go.

Below the ascender line is where we begin.

Let's go up to the ascender line, curl around in an anti-clockwise quiz direction, keep going down to the baseline, and then curl up to the x-height line.

Pencil off.

Make a cross at the x-height line.

Fantastic.

Let's try one more.

Let's go up to the ascender line, curl around, around, around, around, clockwise, finishing up at the x-height line.

Pencil off, cross at the x-height line.

Job done, looking good.

I'm going to show you how to form the capital letter C.

I'm sitting comfortably and pen is in the tripod grip.

I'll start just below the ascender line and I'm gonna go around in an anti-clockwise direction, and I'm gonna finish just above the baseline.

Let's try that again.

Just below the ascender line to begin.

Go around anti-clockwise, and finish just above the baseline.

One more.

Anti-clockwise, all the way around, finish just above the baseline.

I'm going to show you how to form the capital letter G.

I'm sitting comfortably and holding my pen in my tripod grip.

I'm going to start just below the ascender line and I'm going to go round in an anti-clockwise direction all the way down to the baseline, and I'm gonna curl up to the x-height line.

I'll take my pen off the page and then draw across at the x-height line.

Let me show you again.

I'll start just below the ascender line, and I'm gonna go round in an anti-clockwise direction down to the baseline.

Curl up to the x-height line, pen off, and cross at the x-height line.

One more.

From the ascender line, anti-clockwise down to the baseline up.

Curl up to the x-height line, pen off, and across.

Check the understanding, which is the correct formation of the capital letter C.

Pause the video while you select the correct one.

Well done if you selected the capital C above the C that is formed correctly.

And now I'd like you to choose the correct formation of the capital letter G.

Pause the video while you decide which one it is.

Well done if you selected the first G.

This is formed correctly, sitting on a baseline, going up as high as the as ascender line.

And now it's time for your task.

I'd like you to practise forming the capital letters C and G.

First of all, go over the grey examples.

Next, try using the starting dot.

And finally, complete two lines independently on your tramlines.

Pause the video here while you have a go at this task and I'll see you when you're finished.

Okay, it's good to be back with you.

How did you get on? I am curious.

Did you start just below the ascender line? Did you go around in an anti-clockwise direction? And did you remember the cross on the x-height line for the G? Circle your best Cs and Gs and celebrate.

Okay, it's time now to form the capital letters O and Q.

Here's the O.

Take a close look at these two Os.

What do you notice? What can you see? Tell someone nearby and pause the video here.

Did you notice that the capital letter O goes up to the ascender line, and it sits on the baseline? Did you notice that the lowercase O is an x-height letter also sitting on the baseline? They have a similar formation.

It's really pretty similar.

The capital letter O and the lowercase letter O, here they are.

and the Qs, the Qs are here.

They have arrived.

They're on our screen.

What do you notice? What do you see? Pause the video and tell someone nearby.

the capital letter Q starts on the ascender line.

It has a diagonal line coming out of it.

That's pretty curious.

What about lowercase letter Q? It starts on the x-height line and it has a descender.

Oh, very nice.

They have a different formation.

The capital letter and lowercase letter Q.

The capital letter O and lowercase O are formed in similar ways, but are different sizes.

Capital letter O starts on the ascender line.

The capital letter O sits on the baseline and it's formed by curling around in an anti-clockwise direction.

It's not the way the clock goes around.

It's anti-clockwise.

And how about the Q? The capital letter Q and The lowercase q are formed in different ways.

The capital letter Q starts on the ascender line.

The capital letter Q sits on the baseline.

It's formed in a similar way to the letter O.

Difference is it has a diagonal line from the middle to just below the baseline.

I'm gonna have a go at forming the capital letters O and Q in the air with my finger.

After that, it will be your turn.

I'm not gonna keep all the fun to myself.

Don't worry, you will get involved.

So I'm gonna begin with the capital letter O starting up at the ascender line, and I'm gonna go round, curl around in an anti-clockwise direction, down to the baseline, and I'm gonna keep going curling up, and closing the circle at the top at the ascender line.

It's your turn.

Are you ready for the O? Start at the ascender line.

Let's go.

Curling around, anti-clockwise, down to the baseline.

keep going, curling around, back up, close the circle at the ascender line.

Job done.

One more.

Start at the ascender line, anti-clockwise, curling around, around, baseline, keep going, keep going, close the circle.

Oh yes.

Looking good.

Now it's time for the letter Q, capital letter Q.

I'm gonna begin.

First of all, guess what, it starts exactly the same as the capital O.

At the ascender line, curling around, anti-clockwise, down to the baseline, carry on, keep going.

Close the circle.

Then I'm gonna take my pencil off and I'm gonna go to kind of around the middle of the Q and I'm gonna draw a diagonal line out to the side just below the baseline.

It's your turn.

Let's do it.

Capital Q.

From the ascender line, let's curl around anti-clockwise, down to the baseline.

Keep going up, close the circle, pencil off.

And then from the centre, let's make a diagonal line out to just below the baseline.

One more, from the top.

Ascender line, let's go, anti-clockwise, curling around, to the baseline, back up, close the circle, pencil off, diagonal line, down and out to just below the baseline.

Very, very nice Qs.

I'm going to show you how to form the capital letter O.

I'm going to start at the ascender line.

I'm gonna go round in an anti-clockwise direction down to the baseline, and then I'm gonna go back up to the ascender line, and close the circle.

Let's try that again.

Starting at the ascender line, we go anti-clockwise, down to the baseline, and then back up to the ascender line to close the circle.

One more.

Anti-clockwise, down to the baseline, back up to the ascender line, and closing that circle.

I'm going to show you how to form the capital letter queue.

I'm sitting comfortably and holding my pen in the tripod grip.

I'm going to start at the ascender line and I'm going to go round in an anti-clockwise direction down to the baseline, all the way back up to the ascender line to close that circle.

And then from the middle of the queue, I'm going to draw a diagonal line just below the baseline.

Let's try that again.

So from the ascender line, I'm going anti-clockwise, and I'm going down to the baseline, and then back up to the ascender line.

And then from the middle of the letter Q, I'm going to draw a diagonal line down to just below the baseline.

One more.

From the ascender line, I'm going around anti-clockwise, down to the baseline, keep going around, around, back up to the ascender line, take my pen off.

And then from the middle of the Q, I'm going to make a diagonal line down to just below the baseline.

Check for understanding.

Which is the correct formation of the capital letter O.

Choose from these three O's, which one is it which is the correct formation? Pause video while you decide.

well done if you selected the O above the C.

This one is sitting on the baseline and it goes off as high as the as ascender line.

Which is the correct formation of the capital letter Q? Hmm, I wonder, I wonder.

Pause the video while you decide which it is.

Well done if you selected the Q in the centre.

This is sitting on the baseline, it's reaching up besides the ascender line, and, crucially, it has that diagonal line going from the middle down to just below the baseline.

It's time for your task.

I'd like you to practise forming capital letters O and Q.

First of all, go over the grey examples.

Next, try using the starting dot.

And finally, complete two lines independently on your tramlines.

Pause the video while you have a go at this task, and I'll see you when you're finished.

It's good to be back with you.

How did you get on? Did you start at the ascender line? Did you go round in anti-clockwise direction? Did you remember that diagonal line for the Q? Circle your best and celebrate.

And now it's time to look at forming capital letters M and N.

Let's closely them.

Here are the Ms. They've gathered on our screen.

What do you notice? What do you see? Tell someone nearby and pause the video here.

Well, we can see that the capital M reaches up to the ascender line, whereas lowercase m is an x-height letter.

They have a different formation.

The capital letter and the lowercase letter M.

What about the Ns? What do you notice? What do you see? Tell someone nearby and pause the video here.

The capital N reaches up to the ascender line.

The lowercase N is an x-height letter.

They have a different formation.

The capital letter and lowercase letter N.

The capital letter M and lowercase m are formed in different ways.

The capital letter M starts on the baseline.

The capital letter N and the lowercase n are formed in different ways.

The capital letter N starts on the baseline.

The capital letter N sits on the baseline.

It's warm by going up, down, and back up in one continuous movement.

I'm going to have a go at forming the capital letters M and N in the air.

I'm gonna go first using my finger.

After that it, it'll be your turn.

I'm gonna start at the baseline by making a vertical line up to the ascender line and then a diagonal line to the x-height line, a diagonal up, and then a vertical line down to the baseline.

Here's your turn to join in with a capital letter M.

Let's start at the baseline.

Make a vertical line up to the ascender line, a diagonal down to the x-height line, a diagonal up to the ascender line, and a vertical line down to the baseline.

Let's try one more.

Let's try that again.

And a baseline up to the ascender line, a diagonal down to the baseline, and a vertical line back up.

One more.

Baseline up to the ascender line, diagonal line down, and a vertical line back up.

Check for understanding.

Which is the correct formation of the capital letter M? Take a look at these three Ms and decide which is formed correctly.

Pause the video here.

Well done if you selected the first M.

It's sitting on a baseline, is reaching up as high as the ascender line.

It's looking good.

Next, try using the starting dot.

And finally, complete two lines independently on your tramlines.

Pause the video here while you have a go at this task and I'll see you when you're finished.

All right, it's good to be back with you.

How did you get on with that task? Did you start on the baseline? Did you use straight, diagonal lines? Did you keep your pencil on the page? Circle your best M and N and celebrate.

And now it's time for the final part of our lesson where we'll be forming the capital letters W and V.

Here is the W, the capital letter W, the lowercase w.

Look closely at them.

What do you notice? What can you see? Tell someone nearby and pause the video here.

The capital letter W starts on the ascender line, whereas the lowercase W starts at the x-height line.

They have a similar formation, the capital letter and the lowercase letter W.

And here are the Vs.

Both of the Vs are here.

What do you see? What do you notice? Tell someone nearby.

Pause the video here.

The capital letter V goes up as high as the ascender line and it sits on the baseline.

The lowercase letter v goes up to the x-height line.

It's an x-height letter, and it also sits on the baseline.

They have a similar formation.

Yeah, I think we can see that quite clearly, the capital letter and lowercase letter V.

The capital letter W and lowercase w are formed in similar ways.

The capital letter W starts on the ascender line.

and it sits on the baseline.

It's formed by going down, back up, and down, and back up in one continuous movement.

I'm curious, how did you get on? Did you start on the ascender line? Did you go up and down using diagonal lines? Did you keep your pencil on the page? I hope so.

Hope you had a great time.

Circle your best and celebrate.

In our lesson, formation of capital C, G, O, Q, M, N, W, and V, we've covered the following.

Capital letters are uppercase formations of a letter.

Capital letters are used at the beginning of a sentence for proper noun and for the pronoun I.

The letters C, G, O, and Q all start on the ascender line and curl around in an anti-clockwise direction.

The capital letters C, O, M, N, W, and V are all made using one continuous movement.

The letters M, N, W, and V are all made using vertical lines or diagonal lines.

Capital letters sit between the baseline and the ascender line.

Well done, everybody, for joining in with this lesson.

We have covered so many amazing capital letters and I love the way you've joined in and been here for all of it.

So super well done and I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson.

Bye for now.
