English

Today we will be starting a new English unit. Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to be learning how to write a non-chronological report.  We will start by looking at what a non-chronological report is. We will then do some research and gather facts to include in our non-chronological report. Then we will write our own non-chronological report. 

 

 

Please watch the videos below to guide you through the daily activities, you will need to pause the videos at different points to have a go at the activities set in the video. If you need any further support please e-mail your class teacher and they will be more than happy to help you further.
