Try to persuade me that this shouldn’t happen as if you all you don’t I may just go ahead with this plan.

Think about:

· How to set out your letter

· How to start your letter

· How to start each paragraph

· Give me 3 reasons why I shouldn’t do this

· Be nice, flattery gives you a better chance of stopping this happening

· How to end your letter

Dear Year 6,

I am writing to inform you that I think you should have homework every night of the week.

After all the fun you have at school, I know you all rush home to complete your homework. This started me thinking. I realised that you would love to be given homework every night.

One reason why I think it is a good idea is that, while you are already brainy, extra homework will help to improve your levels at school. Mrs Julies would be really pleased!

Finally, I know many of you take part in after school clubs/activities so you may be thinking, where will I get the time to do homework every night? Not to worry, I will put on an after school homework club from 2-5pm every afternoon! We could do History, English, Mathematics and Science to start off with.

Yours Sincerely,

Ms Scally.

This term we are looking at 'Light' in Science.
