Now try to find the ’ew’ words in the word search attached to this blog.

Non-chronological reports have a title, an introduction, information in sections, subheadings and pictures. Look at the example attached to this blog to give you some ideas.

There are two video clips for you to watch and there is also some information about reptiles attached to this blog. Alternatively, you can do your own research.
