Read the non-chronological report on astronauts. Explain that it is a non-fiction piece of writing that gives us information. Can you find the title, a sub-heading, a photograph and a fact? Highlight some interesting words from the text that you might want to use when you write a non-chronological report. Write some of the words you find interesting onto the words cards.

Thursday and Friday
Use all the information collected about astronauts and your plan to write a non-chronological report about astronauts. There is a writing template below but you also write this straight onto lined paper.
Once you have written your work edit it. Look at your punctuation and spelling. Can you change any words for more interesting words? Can you extend a sentence using 'and'.
