WRITE A LETTER TO MR McGREGOR

In your jotters, write a letter to Mr McGregor to say sorry for sneaking into his garden. The more you read this example letter to your child, the easier it will be for them to come up with their own ideas. Please allow your child to sound out the spelling of the words and only correct at the end.

e.g. Dear Mr McGregor,I am very sorry for sneaking into your beautiful garden yesterday but I was very hungry. I ate your crunchy carrots, perfect peas and curly cabbage because they looked so delicious. When I got home, I felt very unwell so my mummy put me to bed. This morning when I woke up I felt bad so I decided to write this letter to you. I will replant your yummy vegetables and help you with the gardening.FromPeter Rabbit
