In 'The Amazon Rainforest: Essay Writing', pupils will develop their understanding of writing to inform their reader and apply this in the context of an essay.

In 'The Aye-Aye or Wild Cats: Non-Chronological Report, pupils learned to write in an informative style in the context of a non-chronological report.

In this unit, pupils write a journalistic report as if they were a journalist reporting on the departure and voyage of the Titanic in 1912. Pupils incorporate their learning about modal verbs, parenthesis denoted by brackets and a full range of simple, compound and complex sentence structures.
