Literacy Learning - Week Beginning 27th June

For the last two weeks we have been concentrating on our Non-Fiction writing.  We have done our 4th Big Write over several of our literacy lessons.  The children have been writing their own reports about fossils in the shape of a fossil book.  Using their learning from our topic work, and after having a couple of research sessions the children have thoroughly enjoyed putting their books together using their neatest handwriting of course.  How about testing their knowledge at home.  Can they tell you who Mary Anning was?  Can they tell you about an belemnite?  Or what was special about an ichthyosaur's eyes?
