Hi Grace,

Guess what? Our class is going to make a garden behind the school! Mr Osei says we're going to start on Saturday morning. First, we're all going to clean the ground and take away the old stones. Then Leila and Marco are going to plant tomatoes and beans. I'm going to paint some wooden signs with the names of the plants.

We aren't going to buy any tools because the school has got some. But we're going to need a lot of water, so Mr Osei is going to bring two big bottles from home.

The weather forecast says it's going to be sunny and hot on Saturday, so don't forget your hat! Are you going to come? Please tell me by Thursday.

Love,

Nadia

As a follow-up, ask students to write a short message about their plans for next weekend using at least three affirmative sentences, one negative and one question.
