Writing at ETPS this half term

In Year Two, children have been writing their own story about a character who realised that they are a star, based on Stardust which is part of our Write Stuff curriculum. However, this week, pupils have started a question and answer text based on the famous astronaut Lance Armstrong.  
Children in Year Three have been creating their own version of Stone Age Boy, focussing on the part where Robert falls down a hole and wakes up in a prehistoric world where people wear fur, hunt with spears and arrows and day-to-day life as he knows does not exist! 
Pupils in Year Four have been writing their own version of The Lost Thing. A young man, who likes to explore his local city to find bottle caps, finds something incredibly unique. Incredibly rare. Incredibly lost! They venture through the city to locate a new home for the lost thing. 
Year Five have been writing narratives inspired by the short film One Small Step. The pupils followed Luna’s journey as she overcomes challenges to achieve her dream of becoming an astronaut. They have been developing independence in writing by completing the final plot points on their own and creating their own stories about characters pursuing dreams despite setbacks. 
Narrative around the book The Arrival, using emotions to convey the sadness and imagery of a young child whose father needs to leave the family to find work/go to war/care for an ill family member. They have used this stimulus to create a recount based on Letters from the Lighthouse – a narrative about being evacuated during The Blitz and experiencing how the Jews were treated during Kristalnacht.
