Stage 2 reading groups have been reading and learning about dinosaurs. Students have been reading information texts, and have been learning to locate information in texts by using the contents page, captions, diagrams and headings.
Students selected and researched one dinosaur of interest. They wrote short information reports and labelled diagrams about them.
