Description

In this unit, pupils research aye-ayes' diets and adaptations to write an informative non-chronological report about them. They spend a whole lesson editing their writing, focusing on key Year 5 punctuation, sentence structures and vocabulary choices. Finally, pupils present their reports.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of writing in a formal informative style from the Year 4 unit 'Ancient Greeks or Anglo-Saxons: non-chronological report'. Pupils continue to write using the structure of an introduction, themed sections and conclusion; they also write using a range of formal and viewpoint fronted adverbials to ensure their writing flows cohesively. This unit prepares pupils to develop their understanding of structuring a long-form text in the first formal essay writing they will complete in the Year 5 unit, 'The Amazon Rainforest: essay writing'.
