Wanting Generic Guidance on Independent Topic

[Cmitchell]

Hi Folks,

Unfortunately I'm not going on the school trip and have got to take someone else's class. However I have one child in my class who is not going. She will be doing an Independent Topic "on an animal of her choice". As she is Y3, and not yet at the "researching a topic independently stage" yet, I was wondering if there is any kind of "proforma/ worksheet/guidance I can give her so that I can get on with teaching the other (completely different year group) class.

All help greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!!

Kindest Regards

Mitchell

Teaching is not my field but I wonder if this is of any use - there are loads of projects:

I want to do it myself!
