Confident Writing Skills Worksheet

You are helping create a newsletter for a local food bank. Read the short brief, then plan, write and edit a lively piece for its readers. Use your own ideas; check that your writing is clear and kind.

Read the brief

The Harbour Food Bank is preparing a Saturday open day. Volunteers will welcome visitors, explain how donations are sorted and share easy ways people can help. Organiser Hugo says, “Everyone is welcome. A small contribution of time or food can make a difference.” The event runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the community hall. Visitors can bring unopened tins, pasta or cereal, or simply come along to learn more.

1.From the brief, write the event’s day, time, place and two suitable donation items. Use complete phrases.

2.Which sentence would best encourage people to attend the open day?

No one knows what happens at a food bank.
Come along on Saturday to learn how the community helps one another.
You must bring lots of food or you cannot enter.
The hall is open at some time.

3.Rewrite this sentence so it is more precise and inviting: “Come to the thing at the hall and bring stuff.” Include the day and at least one suitable donation.

4.Add the missing punctuation and capital letters: priya said everyone is welcome at the open day

5.Join these ideas into one clear sentence using because: “Hana volunteered on Saturday. She wanted to help her neighbours.”

6.Replace the weak verb in this sentence with a more vivid verb: “Ngaio put the tins into a crate.” Write the whole revised sentence.

Plan your newsletter item

Write a short, upbeat newsletter item inviting people to the food bank open day. Include the key event details, one reason to come, and a welcoming closing line.

7.Jot down the main information you will include: an attention-grabbing opening, event details, a reason to attend, and a friendly closing.

8.Write 5–7 sentences for the food bank newsletter. Use your plan, include accurate details from the brief, and aim your words at local readers.

9.Read your newsletter item again. Tick each check when it is true: capital letters and end punctuation are correct; event details are accurate; sentences are clear; spelling is checked; the tone is welcoming. Then write one change you made or would make.
