Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain how to structure and format a non-chronological report about a sea mammal, a set of cards to collect and record information to answer key questions about a type of animal and a template to structure and write a non-chronological report that presents information about a type of sea mammal.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to write non-chronological reports to describe some of the animals that live in the sea.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise researching and recording facts and information to answer key questions about different animals that live in habitats around the world to use when composing non-chronological reports. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
