KS1 & KS2 English curriculum

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of report writing from the Year 2 unit 'The Great Fire of London: non-chronological report'. Here, pupils review key features of non-chronological reports, including an introduction and themed paragraph structure; then they write their own report in three paragraphs. Pupils focus on including and defining key subject-specific vocabulary throughout their reports. This unit prepares pupils for further non-chronological report writing in the Year 2 unit 'Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole: non-chronological report'.
