This week for writing we have been looking at making information reports about penguins. What we did was write the different features of a penguin and that was maliy it but before we wrote the information about the penguins on a DLO where we found information on the penguins to help us remember some facts that could be useful in our information writing. After we wrote our information writing we spoke to a critical friend to help us to make our writing better. During the writing we used a structure called TIPS and that stands for title, Introduction, paragraphs and summary to help with our report.
