Year 6 SATS Writing Evidence: A Narrative (Fleeing Disaster) – Teacher Assessment Framework KS2

Do you have enough independent writing to assess your year 6 pupils against the writing Teacher Assessment Framework for the end of Key Stage 2?

Plazoom has created a selection of writing activities linked to the foundation subjects to provide opportunities for cross-curricular writing.

In this writing task, pupils will write a narrative about a natural disaster. This could be used within a geography topic based around natural disasters such as a volcanic explosion, an earthquake, flood or hurricane.

Year 6 writing checklists with TAF statements can be used to assess pupils against the year 6 writing standards for working towards, expected and greater depth, which could be used for internal or external moderation.

• Personal writing skills checklist
  for pupils to write their own writing checklists to encourage independent editing.
• Narrative writing skills checklist
  a list of features, without modelled examples, for pupils to use as a checklist for editing writing.
• How to describe settings, character and atmosphere poster
