Local Councillor visits Year 5&6

As part of our Bend and Flow topic we have been writing letters to the local council to express our concerns over building houses in Bullpit Meadow. The children were given a proposed plan to read and express their opinions. They had the opportunity to share these views with a local councillor, David Williams.
After the passionate discussion, we let the children know the plans were not real, but their views would be passed on to the council as the future generation of Crickhowell. 

A fantastic morning with some excellent literacy skills applied to a real life situation.
