LO. To identify the features of a non-chronological report

We are spending this week learning about non-chronological

reports.

A non-chronological report is a text which is not written in time

order.

They are normally non-fiction texts which give information on a

subject or event, without referring to the order in which things

happen.

Watch me talking about this work Here's a link.

Attached to the assignment are two non-chronological reports

for you to read.

There are 2 Bronze, 2 Silver and 2 Gold.

As you are reading them, look for the different features.

Features of a non-chronological report.

1. An eye-catching heading in a large font

2. An introductory paragraph

3. Text split up into paragraphs and each paragraph is on a

different aspect of the subject.

4. Sub-headings for each paragraph

5. Usually written in present tense

6. Pictures of the subject

7. Captions under each picture to explain what is in the

picture.

8. Diagrams with labels

9. Lists of facts sometimes with bullet points.

10. Boxes containing interesting individual facts to grab the

attention of the reader.

11. Subject specific vocabulary (words only used when talking

about that topic) often in bold.

12. Conclusion – reminding you what the report was about.

Remember you can type directly onto the document and return it

to me through assignments.

If you cannot access assignments, then click on these links

for the reports.

Session 3

Maths

1 hour

LO. To recognise unit fractions.

We are going to be learning about unit fractions today.

A fraction is a part of a whole number, and a way to split up a

number into equal parts. It is written as the number of equal

parts being counted, called the numerator, over the number of

parts in the whole, called the denominator. These numbers are

separated by a line.

A unit fraction is any fraction where the numerator (top

number) is 1.

Watch the video and pause and do the activities when you are

asked to.

Scroll down for the workseet. You do not need to print these

off. On Question 4 – draw the shape and then colour in the

correct fractions. (don’t worry if your drawing is not perfect!)

different types of food to remain healthy.
