In Spring 2 we are learning...
In Writing, the children will continue to apply what they have been learning about in Geography to complete a non-chronological report (in poster form) all about The Rainforest. This will give the children the opportunity to consider the formality and audience of the piece. It will also allow them to include statistics, colons and brackets, dashes and commas for parenthesis in their writing.
