<p>This is a collection of three newspaper reports I wrote as modelled examples of how a Y6 Greater Depth child might write.<br /> They are based on the story of Beowulf, but could easily be used as examples for any newspaper report writing.<br /> My class found them extremely useful to help structure their writing and provide them with phrases and vocabulary to use.<br /> All features of newspaper reports are included within them.<br /> Most Y6 skills are demonstrated too, including switching between formal/informal language in quotes and change of tense at the end. Enjoy!</p>
