Year 6 SATS Writing Evidence: Retelling a Religious Story (Narrative) – 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 are asked to write a narrative, retelling a religious story that they are familiar with. This could be used within RE, with pupils retelling a story from the unit that you are currently studying, or have recently studied. They will need knowledge of a religious story to use in their writing.

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.

This Year 6 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
• Tenses posters: a set of PDF posters showing examples of different tenses, including progressive, perfect and perfect progressive tenses.
• Year 6 punctuation poster: PDF poster with examples of punctuation marks pupils in year 6 should be using in their writing, with examples
