Writing:
As our school trip was cancelled, we are going to be writing an information sheet about the Titanic. See below the letter we have already shared with the children.
Dear the pupils of St Peter’s Catholic Primary School.
We are writing to you to tell you how disappointed we are that we did not get the opportunity to see you today. We have heard from your teachers that you are incredibly knowledgeable about the Titanic already and that you have all learnt so much about it both at home and in school.
We hope you won’t mind helping us. Please could you design and create an information sheet for us all about Titanic. The aim of this information sheet would be to help other visitors to the museum learn all about Titanic herself.
Please ensure your writing includes lots of description in order for the other visitors to have a clear image of The Titanic imprinted in their mind.
Thank you for your help,
The Sea City Museum
Your information MUST include:
- Title
- Subheadings
- Illustrations
- Facts
- Conjunctions
Please feel free to make your information sheets bright, bold and creative.
