Being A Learner: Writing Information Reports About Owls

Oo is for Owls
We are learning this week about the letter Oo.  On Monday we will watch this video about Owls which we will use as part of our writing.   We are learning to write information reports which include 'topic' words and detail.   This week we will use a storyboard to help us organise our ideas and thinking.   We can't use write about what we think in our writing e.g. Owls are cute.  This is saying what we think.  


By putting our learning  on our Blog we can come back to our learning and find more information to add to our writing by ourself.

Our teacher hope we use 'topic' words in our writing next week like:

  • Plumage - feathers 
  • Nocturnal - sleep during the day and are awake at night
  • Species - type or kind
  • Bill - beak
  • Talons - claws
  • Nestlings - baby owls
  • Parliament - a group of owls
Check our published writing later in the week to see if we achieved this!
