THIS WAY TO THE LONDON PROJECT
London Project Activity 2: Create a topic web all about London!
What do you already know about London - because, well, you live there! If you’re not sure have a look at the next few pages for some facts!
We need to make sure that we know all the fun and exciting things we can do in London once lockdown is over! The London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Hyde Park! The ideas are endless!

Hello again! Did you manage to find out lots about London? Now we need to pick two of our favourite things and find out all the facts so we can try and persuade Miss Stanworth.
BIG BEN
London ProjectActivity 1: we need all the information!
Now we need to think about the facts. Miss Stanworth will not let you go to your favourite places without knowing what it is, how much it costs and why we should go there. If you can’t find out the information, check the next page to see a price list and then fill in the table. One has been done for you!
Where do you want to go?
How much will it cost?
Why should Miss Stanworth take your class there?
The London Eye
£10 per pupilTeacher goes free!
It would only cost £30 for the whole class.It is safe because we would all be in one or two bubbles.We would get to see all of london and draw landscape pictures!
London Project
Where would you like to go?
How much will it cost PER PERSON?
The London Eye £10Natural History Museum £5Science Museum £5The Tower of London £15Madame Tussauds £18Westminster Cathedral £4
Remember there are 30 students in your class and one teacher!
PRICE LIST
London ProjectActivity 2 : Persuasive sentence writing.
Now you have some facts about the different attractions in London, now it’s time to practice writing some sentences for your letter! You need to write 5 persuasive sentences. Use the sentence starter boxes to help you! Do these on a piece of paper with a pencil. Have a look at the examples below if you need help!
1. In my opinion, I believe we should be taken on a trip to The London Eye because not only does it have beautiful views, but it would only cost £300! I am sure that it is a fantastic price!
2. It is clear that all Year 3 pupils would enjoy a trip into London. I believe that the museum would be the best idea as it is a fun filled day,! As evidence, 28/30 people recommend it!(You can make up your
own facts and statistics!)
London ProjectWARNING! WE ARE FACED WITH PROBLEMS!
Although I am considering taking you on a trip… I have a few problems.
1. How will we get there and back safely?
2. Where will we go to eat?
3. How can I make sure everyone will arrive on time to school?
Your task is this way
Well done for making it to Day 3!

Activity 2 -
Miss Stanworth still isn’t sure whether she should take you on the school trip! I think you need to use some WOW factor sentence starters to prepare for your letter. You now need to write each solution into a persuasive sentence. Have a look below for some help!
TIME FOR SENTENCES!
This way for more help!
London PROJECT
Use the sentence starters to explain the solutions to Miss Stanworth!
Activity 2- Writing a persuasive sentence!
1. There is no doubt that there are lots of problems you may face when taking Year 3 on a trip, however in my opinion, if we all bought a packed lunch, then there would be no need to worry about going somewhere to eat!
Here is an example of a persuasive solution sentence. I have used a sentence starter from the yellow help boxes ( these are the underlined ones) can you write three of your own?
London Project
