Introduction: Watch Mrs Holmes summarising Non - Fiction Information from Nasa for Kids Planet Site.
Activity - Today we are going to read a NonFiction Text and locate key information. As we read we will summarise the key information, listening for key words and important facts.
Watch Mrs.Holmes model summarising part of a text using one or two sentences in her own words.
Your challenge is to create a short summary of a NonFiction text passage in your own words.
Select a NON FICTION text from home, the NASA site or from the Reading Eggspress Library. It would be a great idea to read about the Planet that you will be creating an Informative Text on.
Summarise as much key information as time allows.
EXTENSION: Create a labelled diagram to go with the information that you have researched today.

Tuning In:
Watch the video of Mr Heard introducing the lesson for today.
Activity: Today we are going to think about questions we would like to research and answer about the planet we have chosen for our informative writing.
Your challenge is to list at least 5 questions (who? what? when? where? why? how?) about your planet to investigate. Don’t forget to think deeply and get creative with your questions - if you ask interesting questions your audience will be more engaged when they read your informative writing.
e.g.
Why is Mars called the Red Planet?
What is the size of Mars compared to Earth?
How many moons does Mars have and do they have names?
Has anyone ever been to Mars?
How far is Mars from Earth and can we see it at night time?
