Non chronological report KS1 plan

In this plan you’ll use an object that interests pupils, such as a toy car, and talk about its features. What it is made of? Who might use it and why? Pupils will then write a report about the object, to include a diagram.

This sequence covers reading, writing, grammar and spoken language.
