Which way to Lindisfarne?

Today in writing, Year 4 put their persuasive power into action and started writing their first persuasive letters.

 Using rhetorical questions, appeal to emotion, acknowledgment of the other point of view and facts the children crafted brilliant and well focused arguements which attempted to persuade their Viking family’s to sail over to Britain. 

The children wrote with so much passion using excellent persuasive tools to make their point. We even started to use a little bit of cohesion to acknowledge the other argument and then go again this using facts.

The children are really beginning to master the idea of good letter writing, appreciating quality over quantity!

But of course without further hesitation, today’s selfie stars must go to McKenzie, Reece and Jayden who showed fantastic focus and attention to the detail in their Rubric and WAGOLLS and produced wonderful writing as a result!
