Thursday's english

Hello children,
This morning for english, I would like you to do two activities:
1. Log onto Spag.com and complete the SPAG test about cohesive devices;
​https://www.spag.com/

2. With someone in your household I would like you discuss the following question:

Should school uniforms be banned?

Some of you will think that school uniforms should be banned and some of you will think they shouldn’t be banned.  When you have this discussion, remember to use your oracy skills and speaking frames.  After you have discussed this question, I want you to write down all your reasons for wanting school uniforms to be banned or not banned.  Please see below, how your list of reasons could look.  Please try to think of your own reasons, although you are allowed to use a few of mine!  You can even practice using bullet points in your list!

School uniforms should be banned for the following reasons:

• they are expensive to buy;
• they are pricey to replace;
• they are uncomfortable;
• children look the same, which is boring;
• casual clothes are more interesting to look at.

​Tomorrow, I will be asking you to use this list to write a persuasive letter to convince Ms Adams to either ban school uniforms or keep school uniforms! 
 
Have fun!
