Year 6 - Narrative Writing
Date: 10th Mar 2026 @ 3:42pm
📚 This half term, we have been developing our narrative writing skills by creating our own stories inspired by Rock, Paper, Scissors.
🎬 To begin, we watched a short silent film that introduced us to the three main characters—Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Without dialogue, we had to pay close attention to their actions, expressions, and interactions to understand the emotions and relationships portrayed in the video.
🧠 As a class, we discussed what we thought the characters were feeling, why certain events happened, and how their personalities could be shown through descriptive writing. We also explored how music, movement, and timing in the video helped build tension and atmosphere.
✍️ Using the film as our inspiration, we planned and wrote our own narrative version of the story. We focused on developing:
- 🌟 Strong character descriptions
- 🌈 Detailed settings
- ⚡ Powerful verbs and figurative language
- 📖 Clear story structure with a beginning, build-up, conflict, and resolution
🖊️ Each pupil then drafted their story, edited it carefully, and created a polished final version. We are extremely proud of the creativity, imagination, and effort shown in every piece.
🌟 Have a read through some of our fantastic stories and see how we brought the characters of Rock, Paper, and Scissors to life!
