🌟 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

26th March 2026Thomas White

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.

In maths today the children were looking at half and quarters in fractions. The children used concrete evidence to work out half and quarter of a number.

Non-chron turtles! By Ruby

24th March 2026Thomas White

In Crew White, we have chosen a subject that we are interested in. We have written and published it in order to inform you about our interests! We have enjoyed writing about it all and we hope you learn something when we come to share it! Personally, I have chosen turtles since they are a big interest of mine and I hope to inform you about our impact on their world!

Sentence games in Crew White

23rd March 2026Thomas White

This week, we have been continuing to refine our use of relative clauses and accurate punctuation of parenthesis. We split our main clause, found the correct place to add our relative clause and then used correct punctuation. Then, we applied this to our previous writing, editing and improving.

Super Sentences: Adding Extra Detail!

23rd March 2026Charlotte Newman

Last week in Crew McLoughlin’s grammar lesson, the children became “clause detectives” as they explored how to add extra information to sentences using relative clauses.

Each child was given a main clause and worked collaboratively in pairs to decide where additional detail could be added to make their sentence more interesting. They then used their mini whiteboards to choose an appropriate relative clause from the board, carefully matching it so the sentence made sense. Once they had confidently built their sentences together, the children challenged themselves further by moving on to create their own relative clauses using new sentences provided at the front of the classroom.

It was fantastic to see their growing confidence in expanding sentences and adding detail, helping to make their writing more engaging and precise.

Unfortunately the English language is very tricky to learn. However, with the help of Fred, our children absolutely love giving it their all to be the best readers they can be! We use ‘Fred talk’ to decode words and then blend them together, we then are able to get quicker and become speedy readers. Alongside working hard to read the words, these children work even harder to spell them in sentences, remembering the fundamentals like capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Not forgetting the beautiful handwriting! I am beyond proud of how hard the children work during their Read Write Inc lessons 🐸
