In writing we focussed on learning about the features of a Newspaper report. These  are :-    writing in columns,  catchy headline,  a picture with a caption  and  a quotation.

We linked our writing to Social studies and wrote reports on aspects of the Scottish Wars of Independence e.g.  the battle of Stirling Bridge,  the battle of Bannockburn , the death of William Wallace.

Taylor  – I enjoyed writing in columns because it was a different way to lay out our writing.

Beth – I liked the research aspect of collecting information from texts and the internet.
