Letter to the Editor

Today we were writing a letter to the editor of the Gisborne Herald. Have you ever written to an editor?

I enjoyed writing the letter because I have never written to an editor before.

I found it tricky to send it because I thought that they would like it.

My digital learning object shows that I can send a letter to the editor.

Here is my letter:

Hi Editor, I’m Kylah from St Mary's School. I go to school right near the Taruheru Awa. Our school has been planting native trees hoping we can get more native animals like birds and insects. But our school needs to keep the river clean so freshwater creatures have a healthy place to live. Our school also needs to shade it because the sun beats down on it all day so it is really hot. But the problem is that there are blackberry bushes near the river and the council are doing nothing about it. People at our school have been to see them, emailed them, and used the Fix It app but still no response. We are frustrated that the council is not helping and we really want the blackberry bushes gone. Please can you do something about it.
