English

We have been basing our English work on the music video Titanium by David Guetta. Last week we wrote a setting description and looked closely at emotions.

This week we are writing a police report pretending to be the officer that arrives at the scene. Please find examples below to help with your ideas and planning sheets to organise your ideas. We are focusing on formal language, a word bank has been added to help you.

Here is a suggested schedule:

Wednesday - Look at example incident reports and identify the features of a report (see powerpoint).

Thursday - Plan your incident report thinking about the 5Ws (Who, What, Where, When, Why) and possibly begin writing.

Friday - Finish writing your report, edit and publish it (use the template if you can!)

We spend 30 minutes a day on whole class reading. Above are the resources we will be using in class. For the 'Barack Obama' comprehension, we usually complete one or two of the tasks in each lesson (not all at once!)

Alternative Option - Oak National Academy

Above are the resources that we will be using in class. If you do require more structure and tasks that children can complete more independently, below is a link to an Oak Academy unit of work which is of a similar nature (non-fiction writing).
