Good morning Year 6! Well done for your work yesterday 🙂

Today we are focusing on Grammar. For a starter, please complete the questions below in your Home Learning Book.

 

 

For our writing this week, we are going to be writing ‘Non Chronological Reports’. You may remember that back in January, when studying ‘Holes’, we wrote non chronological reports about Yellow Spotted Lizards. This time, we will be writing about elephants!

Purpose

Features

 

Task

Part 1

Look at the non-chronological report below. Can you identify the features? In your Home Learning Book, I would like you to identify the feature and explain why this helps the reader. Click here to find the report

E.g. Heading-the heading ‘grabs’ the reader’s attention and tells them what the article will be about.

Part 2

Conduct some research about Elephants-think carefully about your subheadings and write notes in your Home Learning Book. Organise your notes clearly under your subheadings-this will be very helpful for Thursday!

E.g. Habitat, appearance, life cycle, diet, habits.

    Hello Everyone,
    i have completed my Elephant facts and would like to share one of them that i really like.
    Elephants way up to 14,000 pounds and their brain can be about 13 pounds, which means the elephants only actually weighs 1,000 pounds and the rest is the brain!

  7. Miss Gorick says:

    Morning Jade 🙂 check again, are you sure your numbers are right?

  8. I already started the other spag sheet in my book! Do I have to do it again?
