Hello, Year 1! Today, we are going to have some fun talking about celebrations! 🎉 Do you enjoy parties, birthdays, or special occasions? I bet you do! Celebrations bring us joy, laughter, and memorable moments with our family and friends.
To kick off our lesson, I want you to bring something special that represents your favourite celebration. It could be a party hat, a birthday card, or even a small gift! Once you have your item, we’ll sit in a circle and take turns sharing why this celebration is special to you.
After everyone has shared, I want you to think about this question: Why should we celebrate? Grab your thinking caps as we brainstorm reasons! Here are a few examples:
Now, here comes the exciting part! We are going to write a persuasive text together. What does “persuade” mean? It means trying to convince someone to believe something or to do something.
Let’s write a short persuasive text about why everyone should celebrate birthdays!
Let’s Celebrate Birthdays!
Dear Friends,
I think everyone should celebrate birthdays! 🎂 Birthdays are special because they remind us of how much we have grown and how lucky we are to have each other. We get to eat delicious cake and play fun games with our friends and family!
Let’s have a big party for everyone’s birthday. It makes us happy, and we create wonderful memories together. So, let’s celebrate birthdays and make every birthday a fun day!
Your friend,
[Your Name]
Now it’s your turn! Think about your favourite celebration and why it’s important. Write your own persuasive text using the ideas we discussed. Remember to include:
Once you have finished your persuasive text, we’ll gather back in our circle. You can read your writing and share your thoughts with the class. Let’s see who can persuade us to celebrate their favourite occasion!
Celebrations are all about joy, togetherness, and spreading happiness. Through our writing today, we learn not only to express our ideas but also to persuade others to join us in our wonderful celebrations!
Ready, set, write! ✍️
