Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain how to structure and format a news report about a school event, a worksheet to select and record notes and information to answer key questions about a school event or experience and a template to format and structure a television news report to show something that might have happened in a school.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose and present reports of school events and experiences as a television news report.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to use answers to key questions to compose non-chronological reports about some of the different things that might happen in a school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
