Explain to your child that this week we will be writing a persuasive letter to the prime minister about looking after whales. Ask what we mean by the word persuade. How can we to it? Go through the powerpoint attached. Choose three different scenarios from the list below. Fidget spinners should be banned. All children should receive pocket money. All children should do homework every night. Dogs are the best pets for children. Every child should play a team sport. The beach is more fun than a pool. All children should read at least one book a week. Weekends should be three days. Children should not have a holiday, it’s too much fun for them! Children should clean their parent’s car. Children should not eat sweets. All children should be in bed by 7 0’clock at night. We shouldn’t plant any more trees or flowers as they take up too much room.
