Year 6 Street Child narrative (expected standard)

The following WAGOLL is a narrative, written in the third person, describing Mr Spink arriving at the Jarvis family’s room and demanding rent. When the family cannot provide, they are sent onto the streets.

Included is a word-bank, giving examples of setting descriptions, and descriptions of the family members.

The WAGOLL is ideal for use as a whole class writing stimulus for Year 6 children, and would be of particular use as a moderation piece.

The WAGOLL focuses on:

• creating character and atmosphere
• dialogue to advance the action
• shifting tone in formality
