1. A Letter to My Future Self
Dear Future Me,
I hope this letter finds you in great spirits! Right now, I am in Year 6, and life is quite an adventure. I wonder what you are up to! What job do you have? Do you still enjoy reading? I hope you’re still as curious about the world as I am.
Let me tell you about my life at the moment. I have just finished reading a fantastic book called “Harry Potter”, and it has sparked my imagination! I dream of going to Hogwarts and discovering magical creatures. Have you ever been to a magical place since then? Maybe you’ve travelled to far-off lands or met fascinating people.
I hope you remember to always chase your dreams and never give up. Remember that time I was scared to try out for the school play? I hope you’ve done something brave since then. I want you to be confident and take chances, just like I am trying to do now.
Please write back to me someday. I’d love to know everything about your life! Until then, keep being amazing!
Best wishes,
Your Past Self
2. A Letter to a Friend
Dear Sarah,
How are you? I can’t believe we are already halfway through the school year! It feels like just yesterday we were in the playground at break time, sharing our snacks and laughing together.
I wanted to tell you about the science project we’re doing in class. We are studying the solar system, and I have chosen to research Mars! Did you know that Mars is known as the Red Planet? I have been reading so much about it, and I find it fascinating. I can’t wait to share my findings with you.
We should definitely meet up this weekend. Maybe we can go to the park and have a picnic? I’ll bring my famous sandwiches, and you can bring your delicious cookies! We can also play on the swings and see who can go the highest.
Let me know if you can come. I miss hanging out with you and can’t wait to catch up!
Take care and see you soon!
Love,
Emily
3. A Letter to My Teacher
Dear Mr Johnson,
I hope you are having a wonderful day! I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for everything you do for us in class. Your lessons are always engaging, and I truly enjoy learning from you.
Recently, I found the history project you assigned very interesting. I chose to research the Ancient Egyptians, and I was amazed to learn about their pyramids and mummies. I appreciate how you encourage us to think critically and explore topics that interest us.
I also wanted to ask if you could recommend any books about ancient civilisations. I would love to read more about this subject and expand my knowledge.
Thank you for being an inspiring teacher. I look forward to learning more from you this year!
Sincerely,
Tom
4. A Letter to a Character in a Book
Dear Harry Potter,
Hello! My name is Lucy, and I am a huge fan of your adventures. I just finished reading the first book, and I can’t believe how exciting it was! You are such a brave wizard, and I admire your courage in facing challenges.
I would love to know what it’s like to attend Hogwarts. Do you have a favourite class? I think I would enjoy Potions because it sounds like so much fun to create magical concoctions. If I were there, I would definitely want to be in Gryffindor with you!
Thank you for showing me that friendship is important and that it’s okay to be different. You inspire me to be brave and to stand up for what is right. I hope to read more about your adventures soon!
Best wishes,
Lucy
5. A Letter to Mother Nature
Dear Mother Nature,
I hope this letter reaches you well! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the beauty you bring to our world. The trees, flowers, and animals all make our planet a wonderful place to live.
As a Year 6 student, I am learning about the environment and how we can help protect it. I want to do my part to keep our Earth clean and green. I’ve started recycling at home and using less plastic. I hope others are doing the same!
Please keep inspiring us to care for nature. I promise to keep spreading awareness about the importance of taking care of our environment.
With love and respect,
Emma
6. A Letter to Santa Claus
Dear Santa,
How are you? I hope you and the reindeer are doing well at the North Pole! I can hardly believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I have been trying my best to be good this year, helping my parents and being nice to my little brother.
For Christmas this year, I would love to receive a new bicycle. Mine is getting a bit too small, and I really enjoy riding around the park. I also want to ask for some books because I love reading and discovering new stories.
Thank you for all the joy you bring to children around the world. I will leave some cookies and milk out for you on Christmas Eve. I hope you have a safe journey delivering gifts!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Oliver
7. A Letter to My Grandparent
Dear Grandma,
I hope you are doing well! I wanted to write to you to tell you how much I miss you. I have been thinking about our last visit and how much fun we had baking cookies together. Your chocolate chip cookies are the best!
School has been busy, but I am learning lots of interesting things. I am working on a project about the rainforest, and I remember you telling me stories about your travels. I would love to hear more about your adventures!
Let’s plan to video call soon. I want to hear about your garden and what you have been up to. I miss you so much and can’t wait to see you again!
Lots of love,
Mia
8. A Letter to an Animal
Dear Mr. Whiskers,
Hello! My name is Jake, and I am a huge fan of you, the cat from next door. I often watch you lounging in the sun and playing with your toys. You seem so carefree and happy, and it makes me smile.
I wanted to ask you a question: What is your favourite thing to do all day? I wish I could join you for a day of fun. I would love to play with you in the garden and chase butterflies.
Thank you for being such a delightful neighbour. I hope we can play together soon!
Purrs and meows,

Dear Spider-Man,
I hope you’re swinging through the city and catching all the bad guys! My name is Ben, and I am a huge fan of yours. I admire how you always stand up for what is right and help those in need.
Your adventures are thrilling, and I love how you balance being a superhero with your everyday life. If I could have one superpower, it would be to climb walls just like you!
