Information Reports

In Barrhill this term we are going to be looking at information reports.  Yesterday we went onto the National Geographic Kids Site and did some research on Monarch Butterflies.

We looked at what features a Information Report has.  We found that there are different parts to a report, these are:
1. Title - What is it you are writing the report on.
2. General Statement - What group does it belong to, Non living/Living
3. Description - Features - What it looks like, Food - What it eats, Habitat - Where it   lives etc
4. Evaluation - What you think on the subject/topic

We read through the information and watched the videos, recording facts on the Monarch.  From then we as a class wrote a information report on the Monarch Butterfly.

Here is what we came up with.

Monarch Butterfly

Monarchs belong to the butterfly family.

The Monarch butterfly has orange wings with black veins.  It has a small body with two long antenna on its head.  The wingspan of a Monarch is 13 centimetres long.

Monarch butterflies live in forests in Canada, Mexico, Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand.  They fly over 2,000 miles each year.  Logging is destroying the Monarch butterflies habitat.

Monarch butterflies eat nectar from Milkweed, Clover and Goldenrod. 

I think Monarch butterflies are bright and beautiful insects.
