Persuasive Writing - Letters to Mr Bradbeer

We have been learning about persuasive writing.  We used the prompt of the new hub to share our ideas with Mr Bradbeer about what we thought would be good things to include in the plans.  Please read our letters to see how we are giving reasons for our ideas.

Our School Environment - Learning to Use Paragraphs

We have been learning about using paragraphs so we can write some information reports.  The important parts of a paragraph are the following:

1. Main Idea or Topic - this helps our reader understand what our paragraph is about.

2. Detail - these sentences help build on our main idea.

3. Example or Evidence - this information helps our reader make connections with the information in our paragraphs.

We decided that we wanted to try writing paragraphs to help introduce the environment of our school to a visitor.  Mr Lewzey showed us how we could publish these in a special app called ThingLink so we have been able to take photos and add our paragraphs to these.  We hope you enjoy reading them.
