This is an excellent information planning 'All About Whales'. The inspiration for this was from the book the Snail and the Whales by Julia Donaldson. It's a boy friendly text and the children got to keep African snails in the classroom. Leading on from this they learnt an exemplar text about whales, imitated it and then innovated to write their own information text about snails. This unit was linked to grammar features from the new curriculum 2017- 18 for Year 2. It includes using targets to develop use of expanded noun phrases, conjunctions and varied openers. Children structured their writing according to the purpose using headings as questions. The resource includes six weeks of planning, a text map, exemplar text, tool boxing ideas and visuals to support the imitation stage. Please also see independent writing opportunities called Snail Riddles available in the shop that also link to this unit. Enjoy and please leave a comment.

Hi, I accept that this is my mistake and I should have checked more clearly in the information section but I would have expected some planning to accompany the resources for £10. Do you have the planning available elsewhere on your page? Rebecca
