Diary is stolen!

Unfortunately we came into school to see that Samuel Pepys diary had been stolen. It was the notorious Sticky Finger Steve. Luckily, the police came very quickly and put any evidence found into bags for us to see. We couldn’t go near the crime scene because it was taped off. We now have a very important job to do to help get the diary back. We need to write a persuasive letter to the thief to persuade him to give it back. We will have to use lots of persuasive openers and persuasive language to make sure he listens!
