Explanation writing - how a turtle turns into an adult

Charlotte, Blake and Thomas have been focusing on getting the structure and language features correct for explanations.

They needed:

- a body with steps explaining how or why
- a conclusion

- connective words like so, because, while
- sentence starters like first, next, then
- to have correct spelling, punctuation and check it makes sense
