✍️ Becoming Authors: Inspired by The 1,000 Year Old Boy 📖
This week, Year 6 have been stepping into the shoes of a thousand-year-old boy! After reading Chapter 1 of The 1,000 Year Old Boy by Ross Welford, we’ve been hard at work crafting our own narrative recounts of the events—bringing the story to life through our writing. To do this, we used a whole toolkit of writing techniques that we had revised from year 5 learning.
Pupils worked hard to not only draft their recounts, but also to edit and improve them in pairs. We read each other’s work, gave thoughtful feedback, and looked for ways to tighten our sentences, choose stronger verbs, or add extra detail to paint a clearer picture for the reader.
The results? Absolutely brilliant.
We’re so proud of the creativity, effort, and collaboration in Year 6 writing this week. These budding authors have shown that with the right tools—and a little inspiration—anything is possible. Keep those pens moving, Year 6! 🖊️📚✨
