Topic

During our topic of Africa we did lots of animal report writing. Today, I would like you to choose a bird from the PowerPoint I attached onto the blog on Monday, research some information about the bird so you are able to write about diet, appearance and habitat.  Don’t forget to include 2 interesting facts!

I will insert a picture of the report template we used in class. Feel free to print this out or you can write on paper. Remember to write in sentences.

I hope you have a lovely day and enjoy your weekend!
