In Year 2, our students have been diving into the exciting world of persuasive writing!

They've been exploring how to craft compelling letters, and learning about the specific format that makes a persuasive letter effective. Along the way, they’ve discovered some powerful tools that writers use to persuade their readers, such as rhetorical questions that make the reader think, exaggeration to emphasize a point, alliteration to make their writing more memorable, and repetition to drive their message home.

Additionally, students in 1/2SA are using their science unit on life cycles to write informative texts, further enhancing their ability to convey detailed and engaging information.

It's been wonderful to see the students experiment with these techniques as they build their persuasive and informative writing skills!
