To explore this, we became detectives, moving around the classroom in groups to annotate pages from non-fiction books. The children were brilliant at spotting important features like headings, sub-headings, pictures, and exciting "Did You Know?" facts. This hands-on session helped us understand how non-fiction books are organised to help us learn!
