Hello, Year 3! 🌟 Today, we are going to learn about something really fun: writing creative letters! Letters are a wonderful way to express our thoughts, feelings, and stories. Let’s dive into what makes a letter creative and how you can write your own.

What is a Creative Letter?

A creative letter is a special type of letter where you can use your imagination. Instead of just writing a plain letter, you can add fun ideas, characters, and even adventures! It’s like telling a story, but it’s in the form of a letter.

Why Write Creative Letters?

  1. To Share Stories: You can write about an exciting adventure or a fun day!
  2. To Express Feelings: Letters can help you share how you feel with someone special.
  3. To Practice Writing: It’s a great way to improve your writing skills while having fun!

How to Write a Creative Letter

Let’s break it down into easy steps:

Step 1: Choose Your Character

Think about who is writing the letter. It could be you, a superhero, a talking animal, or even a character from your favourite book!

Step 2: Decide Who the Letter is For

Who will you send your letter to? It could be a friend, a family member, or even a fictional character!

Step 3: Start with a Greeting

Begin your letter with a friendly greeting. For example:

  • “Dear Friend,”
  • “To my best buddy,”
  • “Hello, Super Cat!”

Step 4: Write the Body of the Letter

This is where the fun begins! Share your story or what you want to say. Be creative! You can use:

  • Exciting adventures
  • Funny jokes
  • Interesting facts

Step 5: End with a Closing

Finish your letter with a nice closing. For example:

  • “Yours truly,”
  • “Sincerely,”
  • “With lots of love,”

Step 6: Add Some Illustrations

You can decorate your letter with drawings or doodles to make it even more special!
