Year 6 SATS Writing Evidence: A Narrative (Invasion Story) – 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.

This resource pack includes:

• 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 use dialogue to advance action poster: a poster for display with the key information about how to advance actions within a story using dialogue in KS2
• Creating cohesion poster: a poster to display with examples of cohesive devices
• ‘Invasion’ story start: an engaging start for their narratives to inspire fantastic writing
• Invasions through history image cards: a collection of images to inspire creative writing
• Narrative planning sheet: to support pupils when planning and organising their ideas
• Themed writing paper: a PDF writing sheet for pupils to use when writing their final draft
• Teacher assessment sheets: for teachers to use to assess pupils against the year 6 writing TAF statements which could be placed in pupils’ books as a record of evidence seen

How can this resource support assessment against the TAF statements?

The resource will provide an opportunity for pupils to produce writing independently in the form of a narrative. In this writing task, pupils will write a narrative about an invasion of Britain. This could be used within a history topic based based on historical invasions of Britain such as the Romans, Anglo-Saxons or Vikings. The 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.
