For our topic of ‘Local Community’ we visited the nearby construction site, building new houses. The pupils prepared questions for the Builders, West Lothian Council and for our Head Teacher on what they were curious about the changing area.
In our writing lesson, the pupils drafted letters to be sent to the Builders and the Council containing these questions so that they might get some answers.
I am happy to say that the whole class managed to accomplish all the success criteria and made some very professional looking letters.
“I learned you need a comma after ‘Dear Sir or Madam’ otherwise it won’t be laid out properly” -Andrew
“I learned you need to write directly below the comma of our opening” -Katie
“I learned you need to end with ‘Yours Faithfully’ to close it properly” -Oliwia
