Week 6

Look at the picture below.

This is another picture from the Flotsam story.

This week we are going to be thinking about non-fiction writing.

I want you to imagine you are a scientist who studies underwater places and sea creatures.

Make a fact file of information about the picture above.

As this is a made up picture from our story, your facts can be made up or if you have access to the internet you could research some facts.

Example:

Squid

• Can measure up to 3m long
• Squids are various colours including red, green, purple and black.
• They can be deadly to other creatures and humans.

Habitat

• They live in depths from 6m to 700m.
• Most squid like to live deep in the ocean where there is little light.
• Squid like to live near rocks, seaweed and sea anemones where they can hide from their prey.

You could include some of these sub headings:

• Habitat
• Enemies
• Movement
• Diet
• Different types of squid
• Size
• Fun facts
