Through guided and shared activities children will write their own version of this text ensuring they have included the correct language and organisational features. In the second week, children will carry out their own research into an Australian animal of their own choice. Children will then apply what they have learned in the first week and plan, write and edit a non-chronological report based on the Australian animal that they have chosen and then they will write a non-chronological report independently. Alternatively, in the second week, children could focus on a fish living in the United Kingdom. This would allow children to explore the similarities and differences between the two animals in science lessons.
