Look at these examples of information reports:

The information has been organised using these features:
Titles
Sub headings
Diagrams
Captions
Labels
Bullet Points
Key words in bold
Boxes
Colour

All these things help us to read and understand the information clearly.

Task 1
First you need to edit the writing you did yesterday. Check for capital letters, full stops, spelling mistakes and missing words. Can someone else understand what you have written? Change any mistakes you have made.

Task 2
Now you need to write your information report out again. This time you can add some of the features above such as boxes and pictures to make it easier to read and understand. Here is an example:

Activity 2:  

Science

Today we are learning to: compare the suitability of materials.

We have learned that materials have different properties. When we make something we choose what to make it from because of the properties of the material.
e.g.
We make windows from glass because glass is transparent.
We make walls from bricks because bricks are hard.
We don’t make the carpet from marshmallow because it is too sticky!

Task:
I would like you design your own silly house. Think about what we usually build a house from and choose different materials that would be very silly for building  a house.
e.g.
You could make the roof out of ice cream or you could make the door out of paper.

Draw a picture or make a model of your silly house. Then write 4 or more sentences explaining why it would be silly to choose those materials. Use the property words you learned last week. Here is an example:

It would be silly to make the roof out of chocolate buttons because they are too squashy.
It would be silly to make the walls out of gingerbread because gingerbread is too absorbent.
