Writing task- All Groups
As residents in care homes are not allowed any visitors at the moment, we thought it would be a nice idea to write a letter to them to try and cheer them up and brighten their day! You might want to tell the person who will receive the letter a bit about yourself and what you have been doing during this lockdown to keep busy. You could tell them about your family and friends and even what you are most looking forward to do after this lockdown is over.
We are hopefully going to email these letters to a local care home to share with their residents. We would prefer you to type your letter and practise your computer skills and email it to us, If you cant type it, just write it and send a picture of it to us.
