Beautiful Work Showcase
Year 6 Project Overview
To fully immerse the children into our writing texts and foster creative context, we engage in hands-on workshops, themed exploration days, and interactive speaking activities. Throughout the term, pupils develop a diverse portfolio of writing including character studies, formal persuasive letters, descriptive settings, and reflective diary entries. In addition, pupils have multiple structured opportunities to present their work in front of an audience, refining their physical oracy and public presentation skills.
What The Student Says"I loved getting inside the mind of the characters in Wonder! It really helped me write realistically when we produced our diary entries." "I'm really proud of my diary entry. It's made me feel more confident about structuring reflective pieces and empathising with Auggie ."

What The Teacher Says "The absolute highlight of teaching writing this term is watching the immense leaps in maturity our pupils demonstrate with their grammar and punctuation choices. As Year 6 staff, we foster the use of nuanced, expanded noun phrases and bold stylistic risks to keep our readers fully captivated. The pupils genuinely step into the shoes of the literary characters, showcasing true empathy and creative flare!" — Mr Pickford & Miss Jones, Class Team |
