Write a non-chronological report I have set this as a to-do on Purple Mash. This will essentially be your hot write for this unit.

So, your writing today can either be about Pandas, like you've been studying this week, or your own sea creature (template below). Ensure that you plan before you write and hand in your work! |

Homework
Here is our homework takeaway menu for this half term. Mains are tasks that children should be completing weekly.
Starters and sides can be completed at your child's leisure. Starters recap prior learned knowledge, and sides give children the opportunity to start learning about our future topics.
