This half term, Year 5 have been studying the book Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. We used the story to form the basis of our writing and our most recent piece was a letter from Jim Hawkins to Long John Silver. The children were asked to persuade John Silver to stop fighting, find the treasure together and get home safely.
After spending time editing, the children wrote up their letters onto tea-stained paper. The children did a fantastic job!
