This week we are learning about 'Non-chronological reports'. This is a report which is not written in time order.

These are the features of a report:

• Title
• Introduction
• Subheadings (Written as questions)
• Paragraphs
• Conclusion (Ending)              

Now it's time for you to write a report.

Choose a subject which interests you. This might be an animal, a country, a sport or a hobby.

Think of a title for your report.

Plan some subheadings, written as questions which you would like to write paragraphs about.

You might like to draw or print some pictures to go with your report.

Maybe you would like to present your work as a non-fiction book? Try to add another subheading, picture and paragraph to your work each day.

Have fun! We look forward to seeing your work when you come back to school.

Read next double page spread ‘Monday’.  Look at spread of food prepared by Mrs Grinling. We would like children to look at each dish in turn thinking about what it comprises, how it tastes, texture, if they would enjoy it. Which part of the lunch would they like the most?  Can children create adjectives to make the food sound even tastier? We would like children to write sentences about the food Mrs Grinling prepared. For example,  "Mrs Grinling concocted a delicious lunch for Mr Grinling. She made a colourful mixed salad and a huge, tasty lighthouse sandwich. She also prepared a …"
