A complete UKS2 Winter Poetry writing unit with 6 lessons, editable PPT, WAGOLL, scaffolds, word banks, and planning templates included.
I usually find poetry tricky to teach, but this is a unit I recently taught with my Year 5/6 class, and it worked very well, especially for pupils who normally struggle to start writing independently. The lessons build gradually, giving children the confidence and tools to create a powerful winter poem using figurative language.
In this unit, the structure is clear, visual and supportive, with plenty of modelling, sentence stems and vocabulary prompts. More confident writers also have room to adapt and take ownership of their voice.
What’s Included?
✔ Editable PowerPoint for all lessons
✔ WAGOLL winter poem (feature-marked for teaching)
✔ Scaffolds and writing frames
✔ Word banks (powerful verbs, similes, metaphors, personification)
✔ Planning templates (blank + supported versions)
✔ Success criteria checklist for drafting and editing
✔ Tailored language banks for accessibility
