Helen Keller Class and Paul Whittaker Class (RP classes) have been learning all about how to write a letter. They were inspired by the story The Jolly Postman.
The children were curious about how a letter gets into a postperson’s sack and is delivered to a house. This led us to explore the 'journey of a letter,' so we set off to the Post Office with their envelopes ready to be posted. The children carefully placed their 2nd class stamps in the correct spot, and we found a postbox to send the letters.
Along the way, we met a postman and a post lady and enjoyed having our photograph taken with them.
When we returned to school, we predicted where the letter would go after being posted in the red postbox. To deepen our understanding, we completed a sequencing activity on the journey of a letter.
We can’t wait to see it land on our doorstep soon! (March 2025)
