English: Non-Chronological Reports

Children are preparing to write non-chronological reports about fauns or hobbits! We chose these creatures based of our class reads The Hobbit and Narnia.

Children got into groups, and each got a different feature to look for. This included:

Vocabulary

Formal language

Tenses

Paragraphs

Subheadings and Headings

Facts

Children then read a variety of non-chronological reports in order to find the different features. These are all features that they need to use for their reports.

Poetry

Children have been continuing to learn how to perform poetry. On Thursday, we explored Michael Rosen’s poem Strict.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1cfVQyrQ3Q

Children watched him perform his poem, and took note of his voice, facial quality, and his actions. Children then performed the poem in groups to the class! They did such a great job, and it’s sure to give you a laugh!
