Exciting post from 10 Downing Street!

Year 6 have been learning about illnesses that are caused by sugar such as fizzy drinks, sweets, chocolate etc.

We wrote letters to the Prime Minister to tell him about the sugar tax. We think that the new law about increasing prices of sugary drinks and other products with a high level of sugars will be very helpful.  This is because people would not buy a lot of sugary products, also when the price goes up on sugar things, fruit and veg can be cheaper, so they can eat more healthy things.

Surprisingly, we received a mysterious letter, but when Miss looked at the back, it said "10 Downing Street!"  The whole class (including the teachers) were all very excited.  It was from the Correspondence Officer because the Prime Minister was a bit busy.  It said that the letters were extremely well written and he was going to pass them to HM treasury.

Here is the letter!
