Writing: news reports

Thursday 23 October 2025

Today, Year 4 finished their twisted tales news reports. They were writing to report the story of the three little wolves and the big bad pig!

I was wowed by their brilliant writing and creative ideas. The reports were full of adverbs, fronted adverbials and fantastic descriptions of the awful crime.

This afternoon, Year 4 read out their writing as if they were news reporters. We spoke about our oracy skills (speaking and listening) to make sure the reports were clear and well projected. Everybody did a fantastic job – I think we might have some budding journalists in Year 4!

Help at home: watch Newsround and talk about the oracy skills the presenters  are using when reporting.
