Year 5 - Analysing WAGOLLs
Date: 8th Jan 2026 @ 10:38am
The Tapestry group had a really positive session exploring biased arguments, with adult support helping them to navigate the text and build confidence. Using Widgit symbols, the children read and discussed the WAGOLLs together, which supported their understanding and kept them fully engaged. As a group, they identified key features such as strong opinion words, persuasive language and one-sided viewpoints, linking these back to the visuals to explain their ideas. There was lots of thoughtful discussion about the writer’s purpose and whether the argument was fair or unfair, and with support the children were able to explain what makes an argument biased. The group worked well together, stayed focused and made clear progress in recognising and understanding the features of biased arguments.
