English With NUF

Newcastle United Foundation have been working with Sycamore Class to give us the opportunity to apply our writing skills in order to write a football match report. 
During our first session, we wrote the opening paragraph to our report. We had to use adjectives,  adverbs and alliteration to bring our report to life!
Our second session focused on writing our match report. We were encouraged to think about the structure of our sentences and our use of fronted adverbials, commas and similes. 
In our third and forth sessions, we progressed onto looking looking at persuasive writing. We were told that the owners of a local football club (North Town FC) were going to sell the club stadium. We had to write letters to the owners persuading them not to sell. We had to use the power of 3, emotive language and rhetorical questions in our letters.
