Persuasive Writing

We have been working on developing our persuasive writing to convince someone of our own opinion.

Over the last few days we have been working on letters to send to the editor of the Guardian Newspaper to convince them that our Dads are the best Dads ever!

Here is Jenna's:

Dear Editor,
In my opinion I strongly believe my dad is the best dad in the world because he always reads me a book every night. Firstly he always buys me treats and takes me to the shop everyday after school. Secondly, he gives me great big hugs and kisses because he loves me. Lastly he makes me smile because he cares about me. In clonclusion my dad is the best dad in the world because he always makes sure I m snug.

RAINBOW DAY

Today was rainbow day and what an amazing sight to see it was. All classes of Ashhurst School turned up in all the colours of the rainbow. I will post a photo of the final turnout shortly. Well done to room 16 who ALL dressed up and supported the fantastic cause of the Ronald McDonald house in Wellington. We raised over $170!
