Mary Seacole – what do we know?

Why not look at some of these interesting sources for ideas?

Planet Earth – Non Chronological reports by 2JS

In the past few weeks, 2JS have been researching information about our planet. They have used a wide range of books as well as the internet to find out interesting and important facts, as well as pictures to illustrate their reports. They had to choose their own sub-headings and write other features of a non-chronological report including glossaries. They used Microsoft Publisher for the first time to put their reports together. What do you think?

The children worked independently on their posters, and were not helped with their spellings, the content or how they chose to set them out. What makes them easy or more difficult to read? What information would YOU put onto your own poster?

Information about driving to Coll

The roads on Coll are all single lane with passing places, although there is one 10m (yes, 10m as in metre, not mile) stretch of dual-carriageway near the top of the island!. Whilst driving is usually free of hassle, please remember that locals sometimes need to travel a bit faster than sightseeing speeds.

Please use passing places to allow others to overtake
