Additionally, the pupil has honed their empathy skills, demonstrating the power of imagination to understand and identify with the emotions of love, wonder, forgiveness, and sorrow experienced by the characters in the story.
Year 5 have written newspaper reports. Firstly, they analysed newspapers and learnt about
the main features. They looked at different catchy headlines and created some of their own.

criteria: write an orientation paragraph answering the five ‘Ws,’ (what, who, where, when and
why), use the past tense and third person, select formal language and include both reported
