basilbrush Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 i want to start a letter writing programme with my reception class via our post office role play area, have thought about writing a letter from imaginery creature or maybe from a book character, does anyone have a letter they have done that they could share the format.. Cheers bb ps not sure if this makes sense, but it is a bit late in the evening!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Don't have a letter format but another suggestion could be to type emails - it's a good extension to the activity and also helps incorporate ICT. Just a thought! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 i started our class bear with a letter - children came back from assembly to find a tiny envelope and letter on the carpet from abear called Cuddles - saying that he wondered if he could come and stay with us for a little while etc. Children wrote lovely letters back to cuddles and then he moved in! Stayed in classroom for a little while and then wrote to them again with request to come and meet their bears at home! we all wrote a list of what he might need to pack if he came home with the children and then apcked his bag - lots of PSHE - how will we look after and care for him at our homes! Each day Cuddles now goes home with someone different and then bring him back to school with a diary entry and pics in his diary to share with the class - next week we are planning a surprise bday party for him! Much fun and many cross curricular links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have used the Bear letter /postcards from Literacy matters website with good success. The children eagerly await news from bear and are keen to inform his mum of bears travels. http://www.literacymatters.co.uk/resources..._letter_KS1.pdf http://www.literacymatters.co.uk/resources.html#preschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
