Uno’s Garden and Literacy /Scientific Reports

Our scientific reports have taken an interesting turn.

Using the amazing creatures of Graeme Base’s Uno’s Garden we are writing interesting, scientific reports on a range of wonderful animals.

Ever wanted to know more about the Snortlepig or the Frinklepod or the Grazing Gondolopes.


We started by listening and exploring the story, looking closely at the pictures. Then after choosing an animal, we created mindmaps, grouping information to make the writing of our reports easier.


We also had to do some research, finding information to support our reports by making links with other animals and their characteristics.

I am really looking forward to reading the finished reports.
