Year 3 Non-Chronological Reports Linked to Polar Climates (Polar Bears)

When teaching a topic approach to learning in Year 3, I decided to linked all English units of work to our geography topic of 'Climates Around the World.' In a 'Pie Corbett' style of text-telling; the children learnt an excellent example (included in these resources) containing all key features. The children became familiar with the success criteria and then were able to confidently innovate, choosing another climate area studied. The unit worked really well so that English and Geography work could be studied and covered simultaneously, thus reinforcing learning and achievement.
