3TS and 3B –Formal Letters

Thank you all so much for your wonderful thank you letters. It’s been really lovely to read how thoughtful and appreciative you are of the people around you! This week in English we will finish our topic by looking at formal letters.

We would like you to write a letter of complaint. Imagine you have bought something and there is something wrong with it! You need to write to the person or company you bought it from to tell them what is wrong and get your money back. You can be as creative and imaginative as you like!

Look at the power point below. There is an example of a formal letter, and you are shown how to set it out step-by-step.

You can use the lined letter template to write your letter if you wish. Use these links to help.

Fun ways to practice spellings

Reading

Reading to and listening to your child read is so important. Please could you listen to your child read at least 3 times a week. The reading material can be anything from books, comics, game instructions to food labelling. This can still be recorded in your child’s reading record and initialled.

Grammar

The BBC Bitesize website has some fun, useful lessons which the children can enjoy – Have a look at  Using inverted commas to show speech’ this week  (4^th May)

If you want to challenge yourself even further you can also look at ‘Using apostrophes to show possession’ (30^th April) to really polish up your skills!

Then try these activities. Start with the easy one (*) then try the harder ones ,

TIn school we have been completing the daily live workout by Joe Wicks at 9 – 9:30am. It’s a great way to start the day.

You can always catch up with the live recordings later or look at his 5 or 8 minute workouts on his YouTube Channel

You may also want to look at doing some children’s Yoga to give a peaceful moment to your day. https://awakeandmindful.com/best-kids-yoga-videos-on-youtube/ -

Other ideas:

Madame Dale’s Weekly French activity is here

Take the time to read a good book.

Why not find an article on Newsround (https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround) and have a chat with a parent/carer about it to find out their point of view.

Don’t forget, if you want more ideas for things to do, there are a whole range of activities on the school website. There are also lots of links to other websites, broadcasts, and resources for you to make the most of.

We have particularly been enjoying David Walliams weekday stories and having Audible, full of lots of great e-books/audio books, available for free.

There’s also the weekly Lego challenge on the school website, we look forward to seeing the results.
