In Week 5, pupils will focus on narrative writing by planning their own stories inspired by Yokki and the Parno Gry. Using the Boxed-Up Method, they will break their narratives into clear sections, including the introduction, build-up, problem, resolution, and ending. Pupils will draw on their descriptive writing skills to create vivid settings, compelling characters, and engaging plots. Planning activities will ensure pupils structure their ideas effectively, laying the groundwork for a well-developed story. Adaptive templates are provided to support all learners in organising their narratives successfully. Yokki and the Parno Gry Week6: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13160011

In Week 6, pupils will bring their narratives to life by completing their stories based on the plans developed in the previous week. They will focus on writing in full sentences, using subordination and coordination to create more complex and engaging narratives. Pupils will incorporate rich descriptive language and key features of storytelling, such as dialogue, to add depth to their characters and settings. Editing and revising will also be introduced, encouraging pupils to refine their work and ensure their narratives are cohesive and captivating. Support resources are included to guide all pupils in achieving their best outcomes.

Here’s a two-week lesson plan outline for teaching a fact file and setting description. It’s divided into four days per week, with a focus on research, descriptive language, structure, and peer review to develop both skills. I’ve also took Year 2 children on a trip to the Tower Of London to fit in with this theme. I’d reccomend booking 3-4 weeks in advance: https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/schools/plan-a-school-visit/#gs.i22syz
