School Trips Yearly

Primary SchoolAdvancedPersuasive Writing

The Prompt

Imagine a year without exciting adventures outside the classroom! School trips are not just fun days out; they're amazing opportunities to learn new things, see history come alive, or explore science in the real world. Your challenge is to become a super persuader!

Write a compelling email to your parents, explaining why you believe it's absolutely essential for your school to organise at least one big, educational trip every single year. Think about all the brilliant things you learn and experience on trips that you simply can't get from a textbook or a whiteboard. How do these trips help you grow, learn new skills, or understand the world better?

Make sure your email is polite, clear, and full of great reasons that will convince your parents to agree with you and perhaps even talk to the school about your fantastic idea!

💡 Writing Tips

•
Remember who you're writing to: your parents! Use polite but firm language.

•
Explain how trips help you learn things you can't learn in a classroom (e.g., seeing history, science in action, new places).
•
End by asking them nicely to talk to the school about your idea.

📝 Sample Answer

Subject: An Important Idea About School Trips! Dear Mum and Dad, I hope you're having a good day. I'm writing to you because I have a really important idea about school trips that I think could make a huge difference to our learning. I truly believe it would be fantastic if our school organised at least one major educational trip every year. School trips are so much more than just a day out; they help us learn in ways we can't in the classroom. For example, when we visited the museum, I understood so much more about the Romans than I ever could from a book. Seeing the real artefacts made history feel real! Trips also help us discover new places and learn new skills, like navigating or observing things in nature. It makes our learning exciting and memorable. We get to experience things first-hand, which helps everything stick in our minds much better. Could you please consider talking to the school about this? I think it would be so beneficial for all the pupils. Thank you for listening! Lots of love, [Your Name]
