This resource is great for:

  • Independent work

  • Assessment practice
  • Emergency sub plans

The first lesson is interactive and involves them cutting out facts, and then sorting these facts into paragraphs. In the second lesson the children need to use these facts to write four paragraphs. Then, in the final lesson your class will need to use the format provided to write an introduction for the text before checking their draft paragraphs for mistakes and writing up their work into a neat copy on the template provided.

If you would like to add another lesson, download my LKS2 Moon Landing Reading Comprehension Activity. This would give the students more background knowledge before they start writing.
