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 correctly form the numeral six to 10.

We have some keywords in our lesson today.

Let's go through them one at a time.

My turn, your turn.

Numeral.

Digit.

Continuous motion.

I like to in his words are loud and clear.

Let's make sure we're on the lookout for those words.

Let's listen out for them.

Let's think carefully about these keywords that will be coming up in our lesson today.

So our lesson today, formation of the numeral six to 10 has two parts to it.

First of all, practise forming the numeral six, seven, and eight, and next practise forming the numerals nine and 10.

Let's begin with practise forming the numerals six, seven, and eight.

But before we begin, what are these pictures reminding you to do? Take a look at these three images and tell someone nearby what are these pictures reminding you to do? Pause the video here.

Okay, let's have a look at what this first picture is all about.

Well, this first picture is all about posture, the way that we're sitting.

So we can see this person is sitting on a chair at a table.

Their feet are flat on the floor and their back is against the chair.

This is a great posture for handwriting.

Let's take a look at the image in the centre of our page.

This image is showing us how to angle our paper correctly and to use our non-writing hand to support us so that the paper doesn't slip and slide all over the table.

And the third image of these two hands holding the pencils.

This is all about our tripod grip.

Holding your pencil in your tripod grip.

So you have your tall finger and your pointing finger on the top and your thumb goes underneath and your fingers are slightly bent.

This is the tripod grip.

Well done.

If you noticed any of those things that these pictures are reminding us to do.

And next, let's get into some warmups.

Get our hands ready for forming these numerals.

We are going to start our handwriting warmups with a really, really fun warmup.

This one is piano playing.

And this is so much fun because we get to exercise our hands and we get to imagine a really fun tune in our head.

So I'm going to go first and then it will be your turn.

I'm getting my fingers in position on top of my imaginary piano, and I am going to start pressing each of these keys on the keyboard by moving my fingers and pressing them down, stretching my fingers, moving along the keyboard, making a lovely tune.

Oh my goodness, this sounds great.

I'm enjoying hearing this in my mind.

Wonderful.

And now it's your turn.

Get your hands ready.

Get your fingers in position on just above the keys on your piano keyboard and let's go.

Let's start playing our tune.

So you're pressing your fingers down on the imaginary piano keyboard.

You are stretching out your fingers 'cause you need to go and to reach some of those notes that are a little bit further away.

Oh, how's your tune sounding? Are you enjoying it? I can hear all these lovely imaginary tunes.

What a great, great sound.

What a great stretch for our fingers.

Well done everyone.

Next we are going to have a go at the clapping position.

So for this, we're going to bring our hands together as if we were clapping.

And I'll have a go first and then it will be your turn.

And I'm gonna press all of my fingers into each other.

So fingers from this hand are pressing into the fingers from this hand and my palms, the centre of your hand, those the palms are pressing against each other as well.

It's a really, really nice way for us to get our hands and our wrists as well ready for handwriting.

It feels really nice.

It's your turn.

Get your hands ready as if you're going to clap.

You'll deserve a clap after this and let's press them together, pressing together each of your fingers, pressing together your thumbs, pressing the palms of your hands together.

Your wrists are getting a nice little stretch here as well.

Doesn't this feel great? Oh, lovely, and relax.

All done.

Okay, so let's have a look what's appeared on our screen, it's the numeral six.

Numeral is one of our keywords, and numeral is a symbol or character that represents a number.

So here we have the numeral six.

This represents the number six.

Now let's take a close look at our numeral six.

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

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

Let's find out.

What did you notice? Did you notice that it reaches up to the ascender line? Did you notice that a numeral six is sitting on the baseline and that it's made up of a curved line? Well done if you spotted these things.

Let's find out more about the numeral six.

The numeral six starts on the ascender line.

The numeral six sits on the baseline.

The numeral six is formed with one continuous motion in an anticlockwise direction.

So continuous motion, that's another one of our keywords and it means when we keep moving, we don't take our pencil off the page.

It's that smooth uninterrupted motion that we make when we keep our pencil on the page.

We just keep on moving or forming our character.

The numeral six finishes at the X-height line.

And now let's look closely at the next numeral.

Here's the numeral seven.

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

Did you spot that it reaches up to the ascender line.

That it's sitting happily on the baseline and it's made up of a straight line going horizontally and then a diagonal line.

Good set of lines there, numeral seven.

Let's find out more about the numeral seven.

The numeral seven starts on the ascender line.

The numeral seven sits on the baseline.

The numeral seven is formed with, remember those, that key word, one continuous movement.

We keep flowing.

We keep that uninterrupted motion as we form our numeral seven.

The numeral seven is formed of a horizontal line and a diagonal line.

Okay, it's time for us to have some fun and form these numerals in the air.

I'll go first and then it will be your turn.

So I'm gonna begin with the numeral six starting up at the ascender line, and I'm gonna go around in an anticlockwise direction down to the baseline and then I'm gonna curl up and back around to the exit line to close the circle.

Lovely, lovely job me.

All right, I'll show you one more time, starting up at the ascender line, moving backwards in anticlockwise direction down to the baseline and then back up and curling around.

Close the circle at the X-height line.

It's your turn.

Let's do this.

Ready, line, go.

Start at your ascender line, anticlockwise, all the way down to the baseline and then we'll curl up and round.

Close the circle at the X-height line.

One more.

Start at the ascend line.

Let's go.

Anticlockwise down to the baseline.

Go up around, close the circle at the X-height line.

Great job, everyone.

Now it's time for the numeral seven.

I'm gonna start at the ascender line.

I'm gonna make a horizontal line across the ascender line and then a diagonal line down to the baseline.

Boom.

That's it.

So easy.

One more time.

I will go across ways on the ascender line and then diagonal down to the baseline.

It's your turn.

Let's do this.

Ready, line, go.

Horizontal line on the ascender line and then a diagonal to the baseline.

One more.

Horizontal, diagonal, seven is done.

Great job.

I'm going to show you how to form the numeral six.

I'm sitting comfortably, my pen is in a tripod grip.

I'm going to start on the ascender line and I'm going to go round in an anticlockwise direction all the way down to the baseline and then I'm gonna curl back around up to the X-height line to close the circle.

Let's try that again.

Start on the ascender line.

Gonna go anticlockwise, all the way down to the baseline, then curl back around and close the circle at the X-height line.

Let's try one more.

Start from the ascender line, curling around anticlockwise, down to the baseline, curling around into the X-height line.

I'm going to show you how to form the numeral seven.

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

I'm going to start on the ascender line and I'm going to make a horizontal line across the ascender line, then a diagonal line down to the baseline.

Let's try that again.

Start at the ascender line, horizontal line, across and then a diagonal line down to the baseline.

So we do make this number seven with numeral seven with one continuous motion.

Horizontal line across, diagonal line down and we keep our pen on the page the whole time.

Check for understanding which is the correct formation of the numeral six.

Pause the video while you decide which of these sixes is formed correctly.

Well done if you selected that first six.

Yeah, it's sitting on a baseline.

It goes up as high as underline.

It's looking great.

And which is the correct formation of the numeral seven? Take a look at these three.

Hmm, not sure about a couple of them.

One of them is looking very good to me.

Is one of them looking good to you? Pause video and decide which one that is.

Yep, you guessed it.

It's the seven in the middle.

This one is formed in one continuous motion and it's made up of two lines, a horizontal and a diagonal.

Now let's look closely at what has appeared on our screen.

What do you notice? What do you see? Take a look at this numeral eight and share with someone nearby.

Okay, did you spot that? It reaches up to the ascender line.

That it's sitting on the baseline.

It's made of one curved line which crosses, so it's got these crossing lines.

Very interesting.

The numeral eight reaches up to the ascender line.

The numeral eight sits under baseline.

The numeral eight has one long curved line and the line crosses on the X-height line.

The numeral eight was made with one continuous motion.

All right, it's time for us to have a go at forming the numeral eight in the air.

I'll go first and then it will be your turn.

I'm gonna begin at the ascender line.

And I'm going to colour around in an anticlockwise direction to the X-height line.

Then I'm gonna colour around in a clockwise direction down to the baseline.

I'm gonna keep going up to the X-height line, crossover the X-height line, and then colour around in an anticlockwise direction to close the circle up at the ascender line.

Alright, are you ready to have a go? Let's begin at the ascender line, we'll go quite slowly.

We'll begin curling around anticlockwise to the X-height line and then we go clockwise to the baseline.

Keep curling around till we get to the X-height line.

We'll cross over the X-height line and then we're gonna curl around in an anticlockwise direction to close the circle up at the ascender line.

Well done.

Should we try it one more time? A little faster this time.

Let's go from the ascender line, anticlockwise, to the X-height line, clockwise to the baseline.

Curl back up around to the X-height line, cross the X-height line, and then anticlockwise curl up to close the circle.

Well done, everyone.

Look at those lovely numeral eights formed with one continuous movement.

Lovely job.

I'm going to show you how to form the numeral eight.

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

I'm going to start at the ascender line and I'm gonna curl in an anticlockwise direction down to the X-height line, then I'm gonna curl in a clockwise direction down to the baseline.

I'm gonna keep curling and cross that line and then I'm gonna curl anticlockwise, back up to close the circle.

Let's try that again.

So I'll start at the ascender line, anticlockwise, curling down to the X-height line.

Keep curling, clockwise down to the baseline.

Keep going around, cross that line and then curling around to meet the circles.

And let's start again at the ascender line.

I'm going anticlockwise down to the X-height line.

I'm going clockwise down to the baseline.

Keep curling around.

Cross that line and enjoying the circle at the top.

Check for understanding.

Which is the correct formation of the numeral eight? Look at these three eights.

Oh my goodness, I'm not too sure about a couple of them.

One of them is looking very good to me.

Which one is that do you think? Pause the video while you decide which of these numeral eights has been formed correctly.

Yes, you've got it.

It's the one in the middle which has been formed with one continuous motion.

And now it's time for your first task.

I'd like you to practise forming the numerals six, seven, and eight.

First of all, go over the grey examples.

Next, try using the starting dot and finally complete two lines independently on your tramlines.

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

It's great to be back with you.

I'm curious, how did you get on with practising forming the numeral six, seven, and eight.

For the six, did you use one continuous motion and did you go round in an anticlockwise direction? What about seven? Did you use one continuous motion to form the numeral seven? Did you draw a straight line and a diagonal line? Circle your best and celebrate.

How about the numeral eight? Did you use one continuous motion to form the numeral eight and did your two curved lines cross at the X-height line? Circle your best and celebrate.

Great job, team.

And now it's time for us to practise forming the numerals nine and 10.

Here's the nine.

Let's look closely at it.

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

All right, did you spot there, which is up to the ascender line, that is sitting on a baseline.

And how about this? Did you notice there's a curved line and a straight line? It's all happening with the numeral nine.

And let's look closely at the numeral 10.

I can see some interesting things with this numeral.

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

Pause the video here.

It's got two digits.

That's something really quite special.

So far the numerals we've looked at had only one digit.

This has two digits.

Now digit is one of our keywords.

A digit refers to a single number between zero and nine, like the digits we use when we're writing or counting numbers.

And so a numeral 10 has two digits in it.

Both of these digits will reach up to the ascender line.

They're both sitting on a baseline.

The digit one has a straight line and the digit zero has a curve line.

Let's find out more about the numeral nine.

The numeral nine reaches up to the ascender line.

The numeral nine sits on a baseline.

The numeral nine has one curve line and one straight line.

The numeral nine is made with one continuous motion.

We don't lift our pencil from the page when we form the numeral nine.

And here's the numeral 10.

It has two digits.

The numeral 10 is formed of the digits one and zero.

the digits one and zero start on the ascender line and sit on the baseline.

Each of the digits is made with one continuous motion.

The two digits do not join.

All right, let's have some fun.

Let's form these numerals in the air, the nine and the 10.

I'll go first and then it'll be your turn.

I'm gonna begin with the nine and I'm getting just below the ascender line.

I'm gonna go up to the ascender line and then I'm gonna come around in an anticlockwise direction to the X-height line and back up to the ascender line, and then one vertical line all the way down to the baseline.

Lovely.

And now it's your turn.

Are you ready? Let's begin.

Just below the ascender line.

Let's go up to the ascender line, cut around in an anticlockwise direction down to the X-height line.

Back up to the ascender line and one vertical line down to the baseline.

Great job.

Let's try one more.

Ready, line, go.

Ascender line, come around anticlockwise, X-height line, all the way back up to the ascender line and down with one vertical line to the baseline.

Look at those lovely number nines, well done.

Now I'm gonna show you how to form the numeral 10.

Two digits, remember, let's begin with the first digit, the one.

We begin at the ascender line.

Guess what we do? We go straight down to the baseline.

That's it.

Let me show you one more time.

Boom, down to the baseline.

And now I'm gonna form the digit zero.

I will start up at the ascender line and I'm gonna go around anticlockwise, curling around down to the baseline and then I curl back up around and close the circle.

Very satisfying.

And now it's your turn.

Are you ready to form the numeral 10? Start with the first digit, the one, start at the ascender line, straight down to the baseline.

Lift our pencil up, and now we're going to form the digit zero.

Start at the ascender line.

Colour around in an anticlockwise direction, to the baseline.

Go back up and close the circle at the ascender line.

There are our tens.

Let's have another go beginning at the ascender line.

Let's form the digit one, straight line, vertical line down to the baseline.

And now let's lift the pencil up, start to form the digit zero, start at the ascender line, colour around anticlockwise to the baseline, back up to close the circle.

They look great.

10 out of 10.

I'm going to show you how to form the numeral nine.

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

I'm going to start just below the ascender line.

I'm gonna go up to the ascender line, curl around in an anticlockwise direction down to the X-height line, back up to where I started, and then all the way down, straight line down to the baseline.

So I'm doing this in one continuous motion.

So I don't lift my pen when I'm forming the numeral line.

Let's start again.

So just below the ascender line, I'm gonna go up to the ascender line, anticlockwise, curling around to the X-height line, back up to where it started and straight down to the baseline.

Let's try one more.

Go up to the ascender line, anticlockwise, all the way around to the X-height line.

Back up to where it started and down to the baseline.

I'm going to show you how to form the numeral 10.

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

So the numeral 10 has two digits within it.

We're going to start with the one which starts at the ascender line, goes all the way down to the baseline, one straight line.

Lift up my pen, back up to the ascender line, and I'm going around in an anticlockwise direction down to the baseline, and I'm curling back up to close the circle.

Let's try that again.

Start at the ascender line for the one straight down to the baseline.

Lift up my pen, back up to the ascender line, and I'm going anticlockwise all the way down to the baseline.

Back up.

I'll close the circle.

Let's try one more.

Start at the ascender line, straight down for the one.

Pick up my bend to make the zero.

Starting at the ascender line, going all the way around to the baseline, back up to where I started.

Check for understanding.

Which is the correct formation of the numeral nine? Pause the video while you decide which of these nines is formed correctly.

Well done, if you selected the first nine, this one is tying up just around the ascender line and it's sitting on the baseline.

Which of these three is the correct formation for the numeral 10? Pause the video while you decide.

Yes, you've got it.

It's the one above the C.

This one is formed correctly.

The digit one is a vertical line and the zero starts and ends at the ascender line.

Well done if you selected the correct formation of the numeral 10.

And now it's time for your final task.

I'd like you to practise forming the numerals nine and 10.

First of all, go with the grey examples.

Next, try using the starting dot and finally complete two lines independently with focus and flow and enjoyment on your tramlines.

Pause 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 with forming the numerals nine and 10? Did you use one continuous movement to form the numeral nine? Did you draw a curved line and a straight line? I hope so.

How about the numeral 10? To form the digit one, did you start on the ascender line and make a straight line down to the baseline.

To form the digit zero, did you go round in an anticlockwise direction? I hope you did all of these things.

Circle your best and celebrate.

You really deserve a celebration.

In our lesson today, formation of numerals six to 10, we have covered the following.

A numeral is a symbol or character that represents a number.

The numerals six, seven, eight and nine, are made using one continuous movement.

The numeral six, seven, eight and nine, are formed without lifting your pencil.

The formation of the numeral 10 requires you to lift your pencil as it has two separate digits.

The numeral six, seven, eight and nine and 10 all reach up to the ascender line.

The numeral six to 10 all sit on the baseline.

Well done everyone for joining in with this lesson.

It was great fun seeing you form those numerals and you getting in a lot of practise and you're doing a great job.

Keep enjoying forming all of your numerals.

I'll see you at another lesson soon.

Bye for now.
