This Year 5 Non-Chronological Report Activity was designed around the theme of Space.
As a class we revisited the key features of non-chronological reports, and decided which features would make it onto our success criteria (page 2). This was done using the Hexagonal Thinking grid on the IWB (page 3).
Learners then worked in pairs to create their own planets and discuss what details they should include in their non-chronological reports, using the hexagonal thinking grids (page 4).
Finally, the non-chronological report was planned using page 1 and 2 of the planning document.
This is a Space themed assembly, designed for two Year 5 classes, complete with script and presentation. The assembly was designed for a 30-40 minute time slot.
The script can easily be adapted to suit any class size.
This is a Microsoft Form available to duplicate. I use this as a daily check in with my Year 5 students, however, it could be edited to suit any primary/lower secondary age range.
The link to duplicate the form is on page 5 of the pdf.
This is a self-marking Microsoft Forms quiz available to duplicate. I used this in conjunction with an English topic based on Traditional Tales.

This activity was originally created for Google Classroom, using an article from First News. However, it is fully editable to be used in class with child friendly magazines.
Included in this resource is a fully editable activity, as well as associated rubric.
Introduce making inferences to upper KS2, with this engaging and interactive lesson.
In this fully editable presentation, have fun adding pictures of teacher’s shoes. Then, use the editable activity 1 to get students engaged in inferencing (this can be used in small groups).
Once activity 1 has your class begging to find out more about inferencing, you can use activity 2 (suggested to print on A3) for students to practice their skills. A rubric is provided for assessment.
Enjoy!
