Model Text

The Rhiswanozebtah is an extremely rare, flying creature from the subfamily Rhinofelinae.

Rhiswanozebtahs, although uncommon, are easy to identify, as they are a mixture of four distinct animals. They have the head of a rhino, the body of a swan and zebra and the tail of a cheetah. They have a wingspan of 2.8 metres and can grow to over 5 metres in length, which means they are the largest flying creatures since Pterodactyl dinosaurs. Additionally, their skin tends to be covered in feathers but as they get older, the zebra stripes become more prominent. Their tails are covered in fur and their heads are covered in leathery, grey skin. However, juveniles are born completely bald and develop their fur, feathers and colourings when they mature.

Most Rhiswanozebtahs are found across South Africa, although some have been known to inhabit the deepest rainforests of Venezuela. Amazingly, Rhiswanozebtahs like to burrow and therefore make their homes underground. They use their Rhino tusk to gouge the sun-baked soil and tunnel deep down, to create soil cocoons to sleep in. Some have been known to sleep in trees, but only the largest Kapok branches can support their enormous weight.

All Rhiswanozebtahs are carnivores and only eat meat. Interestingly, their favourite prey is the Springbok antelope, which they descend on from great heights and then wrestle to the ground. They have also been known to devour many smaller mammals such as African Wild Cats and aardvarks. Furthermore, many will guzzle gallons of water a day and sadly, these creatures can cause huge water shortages during the dry season.

As well as being the largest flying animal in the world, the Rhiswanozebtah is also the most talented. The majority can use their vocal cords to create the most beautiful morning chorus as the sun rises. This is with the exception of the young males. Their voices do not develop until they are 15 years old and some explorers have reported that their calls are high-pitched, squeaky and very unpleasant to listen to. In addition to this, and despite their size, all Rhiswanozebtahs are tremendously agile. They can stand on one leg for long stretches of time, roll and flip whilst running or flying and can balance on narrow branches and cliff edges when surveying for prey.

For many years, scientists have been secretly tracking the Rhiswanozebtahs in the wild and now know that there are only approximately 625 roaming the savannahs and nesting in rainforests. Amazingly, however, there have been rare sightings in other parts of the world, so just maybe, the Rhiswanozebtah will be spotted in a neighbourhood near you in the not-so-distant future

Monday

1. Use the pictures and the text to help you find out the meaning of the following words:

2. Use the text and success criteria to work out the meaning of the following words. If you are really struggling, ask an adult or use a dictionary.

a. The scales on a giant lion snake act as a warning to hunters and are very _______________. b. Cheetahs stalk a range of ______________ when they hunt c. Many Polar bear _______________ inhabit the North Pole, along with seals. d. Behavers tend to _____________________ holes into logs to keep their teeth sharp.

Tuesday: Brackets for parenthesis

Here are some examples:

1. The Rhiswanozebtah (a very strange creature) likes to live in rainforests. 2. The explorers (who have recently returned from Mongolia) are setting off on a new safari tomorrow.

Task 1 Complete the sentences below by adding in some additional information about Rhiswanozebtahs.

1. The skin of a Rhiswanozebtah is covered in feathers (which are___________________________) and fur.

2. Rhiswanozebtahs live in different places (like _________________________________________) and tend to live alone

3. Many young Rhiswanozebtahs (aged___________) can travel vast distances.

Task 2

Now, write at least 5 of your own sentences using brackets for parenthesis.

Wednesday

Try using some sentence patterns from the Rhiswanozebtah report and create new sentences using the same structure.

Task 1

1. Adverb starters to engage the reader. These can be used when you want to give your reader a really juicy fact:

Amazingly, Rhiswanozebtahs like to burrow and, therefore, make their homes underground

Invent some more really juicy facts about the Rhiswanozebtah and start them with an adverb to engage. Be as creative as you like with your inventions. Write 5 sentences.

For example: Weirdly, Rhiswanozebtahs will sleep with one eye open.

Task 2

You can add on facts by using sentence signposts that signal addition: for example, additionally, in addition to, also, furthermore and moreover.

Example:

Rhiswanozebtahs are large. Additionally, their skin tends to be covered in feathers but, as they get older, the zebra stripes become more prominent.

Complete these sentences:

1. Rhiswanozebtahs like to eat fish. Additionally, …

2. Some Rhiswanozebtahs sleep underground. Furthermore,…

3. Most Rhiswanozebtahs can run at a speed of 30 miles per hour. In addition to this, …

Now write 5 of your own using the connectives above.
