ENGLISH - Letter writing

 As we are coming to the end of our unit, the children are now putting everything they have learnt together to write a persuasive letter to a publishers to ask them to stop publishing books where the wolf is made the villain. They are trying to persuade them that wolves are not mean and nasty like in traditional tales, but caring and nurturing out in the wild.

They have started brilliantly! Some super information is coming through from their reading and some elaborate facts and statistics too to support their arguments.

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
