Year 2 : Writing tasks
Dear Miss Carly,
I have really bad news for you… I can’t return to school on the first day back. You're not going to believe this but I’m writing this letter to you all the way from Hawaii!
My trip to Hawaii came to an end and something terrible happened. I just sat in the aeroplane for my flight back but a bird was jumping on the left wing of the plane making lots of noise and commotion. The plane was wobbling all over the place and then everyone heard a big, loud CRACK! When we looked over, to our surprise and shock, the whole wing had snapped off!!
We couldn't believe our eyes, Miss Carly! What had that silly bird done?! How will we fly back home with a broken wing?! The men were rushing around like headless chickens trying to sticky tape the wing back together. I even saw them trying to staple the wing back onto the aeroplane! I don’t think it worked though. I might even extend my holiday in Hawaii even longer now, thanks to that cheeky bird.
I will miss you lots. Thanks for understanding Miss Carly. I will see you when I get back and show you all my amazing holiday pics!
Lots of love, Gaby
Dear Miss Carly,
I hope you are well. I have got some exciting, amazing and fantastic news to share! I'm not too sure if you are going to think it’s exciting for you. A special Government organisation has asked for my excellent spying skills, to help them on a Top Secret mission. This is all very hush hush, so I would ask you to please not let anyone know.
Can you believe it! Me, an 8 year old boy, is going to be a super spy. I'm so excited and I can hardly wait! Of course, I will have to be trained so that will take up extra time, so I think I will not be back at all!
Could you please tell Miss Steph that I will miss my reading group with her and of course you too. Oh, please let Miss Louise know that I will be away for a long time as being a spy requires me to disappear. Can you let RJ and Gabriella know that I have moved to a new school because they mustn't know my secret! I will miss them and my other classmates. Miss Carly, please don't be sad that I will be gone, just remember that I have had the best year so far with you and Miss Steph.
From your super secret spy student, Noah.
P.S. Pleeeaaase keep this secret mission quiet, as even my Mum doesn't know about it yet!
