Crew McLoughlin’s Non Chronological reports

🌟 Amazing Young Authors: Celebrating Your Non-Chronological Reports! 🌟

Wow—what a fantastic job you’ve all done! 🎉 We are so proud of the brilliant non-chronological reports that have been published. You have truly shown what it means to be young researchers, writers, and creators.

🧠 What Made Your Reports So Great?

Your work included so many impressive features:

  • Clear headings and subheadings to organise information
  • Fascinating facts that taught your readers something new
  • Topic-specific vocabulary
  • Pictures, diagrams, or captions to help explain ideas
  • A neat structure that made your reports easy and fun to read

📚 Becoming Real Authors

By publishing your reports, you’ve taken an exciting step—you are now published authors! That means other people can read, learn from, and enjoy your work. How amazing is that?

Writing like this helps build important skills:

  • Researching information
  • Organising ideas
  • Writing clearly for a reader
  • Taking pride in your work

These are the same skills that real journalists, scientists, and authors use every day!

You should feel incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. Writing a non-chronological report isn’t easy, but you’ve shown creativity, effort, and determination. Keep up the amazing work! ✨

Crew White – Guest blog posts by Tiarna, Greatness, Heartley and Frankie

This week  I have been working on my non- chronological report. I have produced 2 pages full of writing including the Carcroft School logo and 4 paragraphs in different lengths. Firstly, I researched my subject. Secondly, I wrote. Thirdly, I edited my work improving and ensuring a perfect piece. Lastly, I published my work on to 2 different pieces of paper. Written by Tiarna.


I am proud of the work I have created; it’s a non chronological report I’ve been working on for the past week. I hope you like it. It’s about the Solar System. Written by Greatness.

This week in Crew White we’ve been working on non-chronological reports based on our favourite things:

  • Dogs
  • Carcroft School
  • Anime

My non-chronological report is all about dogs and how they help people in different ways, sometimes without us even realising! Written by Frankie.

In Writing, we have been creating a non-chronological poster about things we like. I wrote about Football (my title was Football The Beautiful Game). This was the process of writing the non-chronological report: 

  • First, we had to practise writing sentences; some skills we learnt were compound sentences, complex sentences, colon to introduce a list, semi colons and cohesive devices;
  • Then, we had to write an introduction about the topic we were writing about;
  • Also, we had to write 2 main paragraphs so I did a history paragraph about football and then a modern paragraph about football;
  • After we edited it all, we had to write the paragraphs onto the poster and mine had footballs as the border.

Here is an example of the finished product.
