I check my finished work to make sure there are no mistakes in spelling, grammar or punctuation.
Take photos of
Sunny at the local park, eating somethin, in different weather etc. Sunny’s latest adventure.
Model write a postcard from Sunny to his family, using the information headings to structure the content.
The children can then conduct a guided tour of the school with Sunny, taking photos of him in different places, answering any questions he may have and ‘helping’ him join in activities.

I can write down brief descriptions about what I want to include in my writing, before I begin.
Read examples of non-chronological reports about animals and start to develop a bank of common features.
Use role play and games such as ‘Professor Know it All’* to develop the language and sentence constructions of reports.
Create a non-fiction report
Use Pie Corbett’s Talk for Writing sequence with a final outcome of a mini-leaflet or Wikipedia page.
Oral report on meerkats to the class, using a text map to support the process.
Once the children have learnt the text, then Innovate with another animal, using facts gathered in the first week. Create a whole class one together orally and practise it, then allow the children to make up their own oral versions about the animal they researched in week one.
Model write a report based on the whole class Innovation animal and then support the children in writing their own.
Collate and publish in a laminated booklet, folder or on the school’s website.
Read aloud to other classes. / Before I start my writing, I plan what I am going to say either by thinking about what I want to write or by saying my ideas out loud.
I try to write in the present or past tense when writing.
I can use words such as when, if, that, because, or, and but when I write sentences.
