Literacy

This week in literacy we will be looking at letters to Santa and discussing the features of letters.

We will be identifying the:

• Sender’s address
• Date
• Greeting ‘Dear…’
• Introduction to establish the purpose of the letter
• Main body of the letter adding more detail
• Conclusion
• Sign off

Can you spot any of these in the example letters?

• Capital letters
• Full stop .
• Question mark ?
• Exclamation mark !
• and
• because
• adjectives (describing words)
• Un prefix (e.g. unkind, unfair, ungrateful, unhappy)
• s / es for plurals

We will have a go at planning our own letter to Santa.
