This week we have been learning about information texts and features of non fiction books. We have started to prepare to write our own non fiction books and have been practicing how to take notes!!!
We have looked at the features of non fiction books and have found they have a contents page, an index, and a glossary. In our guided reading this week we have also read non fiction books and a lot of children have also been bringing them home as their reading books.
We have thought about the pictures and labeled pictures ourselves, remembering to use a ruler!
Below are some photos of us trying out our note taking skills!

We also spent some time looking at the front covers of different non fiction books. We decided that non fiction books had titles and pictures to inform the reader what the books were about. We then designed our own front covers. Once our covers were finished we did a walking gallery to look at all the other front covers designed by the giraffes! Look at our fabulous efforts!
