These activities can support EAL and Year 1 children in writing their fact files with confidence. Begin by reading fiction books about lions to spark interest, introduce key vocabulary, and provide visual support for EAL learners. Recommended titles include The Lion Inside and How to Hide a Lion.
Next, watch National Geographic videos and explore non-fiction books to help children distinguish between facts and fiction.
Then, move on to collecting facts from various sources. You could create a lion-themed area within your continuous provision and provide sticky notes for children to record their facts. Alternatively, use the attached craft activity as a lead-in to the Big Write.
The PDF also includes a vocabulary mat to support pupils in structuring their fact files and using subject-specific language accurately as well as a labelling activity with a word bank provided.
