LTTE – Narrabri Public School

Dear editor,

The Stage 2 Literacy Enrichment Class at Narrabri Public School has been working very hard learning how to write persuasive texts.

With the help of teachers, Mrs Lindsay and Ms Marple, they have been brainstorming ideas, sharing opinions and learning how to convince readers. Students have practised using powerful adjectives, vivid verbs, rhetorical questions, emotive language and persuasive connectives. They’ve also learnt how to organise our arguments and support our opinions with reasons and examples.

When the class heard about Narrabri’s wonderful new park, they thought it would be the perfect topic for their persuasive writing. Students all wrote their own letters, then worked together to choose their favourite ideas and create one special letter to share with the Narrabri community as a letter to the editor in The Courier.

Can you hear the children laughing, giggling and squealing with excitement? Can you imagine them climbing, swinging, running and having the time of their lives? Well, you don’t have to imagine anymore because Narrabri’s amazing new park is finally open!

Firstly, this wonderful park gives children a fantastic place to play, explore and make new friends. Instead of sitting inside staring at their devices, kids can get outdoors, exercise and enjoy the fresh air. Just imagine a child calling, “Mum! Dad! Watch me!” as they race off to have another adventure. What a brilliant way to stay happy, healthy and active!

Secondly, the park is a magical place for families. Parents can relax, chat and enjoy the peaceful surroundings while their children play nearby. Families can have picnics, celebrate birthdays and spend quality time together. Imagine the smell of a delicious BBQ sausage sandwich, the sound of happy laughter and everyone enjoying a beautiful afternoon. These are the special memories families will treasure.

Finally, our new park is something the whole Narrabri community can be proud of. People of different ages and abilities can enjoy the outdoors, make new friends and feel welcome. Visitors can stop, explore our town and support local businesses. Meanwhile, adults can enjoy walking beside the calm river, listening to the birds singing their beautiful songs.

Clearly, Narrabri’s new park is much more than just a playground. It is a place for children, families and our whole community to come together. So what are you waiting for? Put down your devices, gather your family and come and enjoy one of the most amazing places in Narrabri!

Yours sincerely,
