Why this why now
This unit uses and builds pupils' knowledge of non-chronological report writing from the Year 3 unit 'The Stone Age: non-chronological report'. Pupils write using the structure of an introduction, themed sections and a conclusion; they also write using a range of formal and viewpoint fronted adverbials and subject-specific vocabulary to ensure their writing flows cohesively. This unit prepares pupils for more non-chronological report writing in the Year 4 unit 'Ancient Greeks or Anglo-Saxons: non-chronological report'.
