Week 4 - Main Activity
'You Have Mail!'
There is nothing better than a handwritten postcard or letter to make someone's day. Send someone you love a postcard or a letter to tell them what you have been up to and to let them know that you miss them.
As we are staying at home for the time being, you could write and keep hold of the letter and wait until it is safer to send or give it to them in person.
Things to include:
Date and Address
Greeting
Include an introduction
Use paragraphs
Keep it informal and chatty - tell them what you have been up to, what you are missing, what you wish you could do, anything new you have learnt...
Ask them questions too!
You could even include a drawn picture or card.
You can use the letter or postcard templates below (either print or copy onto paper) or you can design your own!
