It is time to read more of our class reader ‘Holes’ - what will happen next?
Today we will be writing the next section for our non-chronological reports about Yellow Spotted Lizards. We will be writing the appearance section.
What is your subheading for each section going to be?

Atrocious Appearance
These vile and vicious creatures can be easily identified by their yellow spots – exactly eleven along their long green body. Although, you won’t have enough time to count them to be sure! Yellow spotted lizards have razor sharp black teeth and a milky-white tongue. Measuring at 8-10 inches long, these creatures have slender bodies and tough skin. Interestingly, they have flat, snake-like heads which allow them to squeeze into even the tiniest of holes.
