What will children learn?
Pupils will explore an original text about the fascinating migration patterns of the arctic tern.

By engaging with this English report writing comprehension year 4 greater depth material, students will go beyond basic retrieval. They will be challenged to analyse how an author shapes meaning for a specific audience and purpose, fostering the critical thinking skills required for the upper end of Key Stage 2.
How can teachers use it?
