Writing a fact file about London Zoo - KS1/KS2

This lesson is part of a wider cross-curricula unit called London Zoo which is designed for KS1 and lower KS2 students (Y2-4).

The presentation first locates London Zoo within the UK and London itself. Students then find out a variety of interesting facts about the zoo.

The activity challenges students to write a fact file about London Zoo. It is differentiated four ways:

Easier – Students write cloze procedure sentences (one word per sentence)
Medium – Students write cloze procedure sentences (students write whole sentences)
Harder – Students write their own London Zoo fact file (using a sentence starter and vocabulary prompt)
Hardest – Students write their own London Zoo fact file (using just a vocabulary prompt)
