Memorandum

  • Read the following letter out loudly in class. This letter was written by Mr Moneybags, a developer.

Dear Grade Two learners

My name is Mr Moneybags. I am very worried about all the children who play in the streets. I would very much like to develop a large park or playground for them where they can play safely. Please help me to find out what kinds of games children like to play. I would also like you to draw a plan to show me what you think the playground should look like.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The learners must identify the following things that are wrong on the worksheet:

  • A fence that is broken.
  • Children that climb over the fence.
