🍔✏️ Persuasive Writing with a tasty twist! ✏️🍔 Today our Year 4 students kicked off the year with an engaging and fun lesson on persuasive writing using the Burger Method and the learning really came to life when the teachers joined in by actually eating burgers! It was a fantastic example of interactive learning, with plenty of enthusiasm, laughs and strong writing skills on display. A big thank you to our wonderful Year 4 teachers for organising such a creative and memorable start to the year. We can’t wait to see where the learning goes next! 📚
