Comparing formal and informal letters 📨📮✉️

Mrs Farooq

This week children in Y3 have been learning about formal and informal letters. They have studied the features of both types of letters and have independently identified the features in their books. They have looked at many example letters and are now confident naming and describing the features. Moreover, children have created tables of similarities and differences and have understood the purpose of both types. This blog is an excellent example of their impressive knowledge and you will be stunned by their learning and the progress they have made this week!

Some questions for you to answer and show off your fantastic knowledge acquired this week in English lessons-
