The Letter to a Soldier worksheet is designed for students in years 5 to 6 to write a thoughtful and heartfelt letter to a soldier, whether from the past or present.   The planning template helps students organise their thoughts and ideas before drafting their final letter, guiding them through introducing themselves, expressing gratitude, sharing personal connections to Remembrance Day, offering support and well-wishes, and asking respectful questions.   Once the planning is complete, students can either write their letter on the provided worksheet or type it using the editable version of the letter writing template.   This resource fosters empathy and appreciation for the sacrifices made by soldiers while enhancing students' writing and communication skills. The activity aligns with English curriculum goals, such as developing persuasive writing, structuring a letter, and using respectful language.   Completed letters can be displayed in the classroom or sent to veterans' organisations, creating a meaningful connection and showing support for those who have served. This exercise offers a valuable opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Remembrance Day while practicing their writing skills.   If you’re looking for additional activities for Remembrance Day, why not try our other Remembrance Day resources:
