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.
