Literacy: writing a recount letter

Today our objective was to write a recount letter, from one of the children in the Pied Piper story. We thought of words to describe the music of the piper, and words to describe what it was like when we were trapped in the cave in the mountain.

At home please write your letter. I have started mine on the board above. Rememer the address, and the opening (Dear Mr Mayor). Remember to indent your paragraphs.

Your first paragraph should describe the piper's music. Your second paragraph should be about what it was like in the cave. Your last paragraph should ask the mayor to pay the piper so that you can go free.

Remember to put Yours sincerely, and your name, at the bottom of your letter.

Do NOT use speech in your letter. You are telling the mayor what the music was like, and what the cave is like. Enjoy doing your homework.
