Year 5 Writing Template

Create an informative piece for a class nature display about how to protect rock-pool life. Use the prompts to plan your ideas, then check your writing. The answers are examples; your own well-organised ideas may be different.

Choose and collect ideas

Use the rock-pool topic for your writing plan. Think about the creatures, their habitat and ways visitors can help keep the pool safe.

1.Write a clear title for an informative piece about caring for rock pools.
2.List three details you could include about rock-pool life or how to protect it.
Add a central idea and connect it to creatures, habitat and helpful visitor actions. You may write words or draw small pictures.

Arrange your writing

Plan a beginning, three connected sections and an ending. Then choose language that will keep your reader interested.

3.Choose the strongest opening for an informative piece about protecting rock pools.
  • Have you ever wondered what lives in a rock pool?
  • My shoes are blue and shiny.
  • The end of my writing is here.
  • Yesterday I ate a sandwich.
4.Write an opening sentence that introduces the topic and makes a reader curious.
5.Plan your first main point: explain one reason rock pools are important to their inhabitants.
6.Plan a second main point: describe one sensible action a visitor can take.
7.Plan a third main point: explain what to do after carefully lifting a loose stone to look underneath.
8.Write a closing sentence that reminds readers why caring for rock pools matters.
9.Select the sentence starter that best introduces a final summary.
  • To sum up,
  • Under the rock,
  • At breakfast,
  • Without warning,
Read your draft again. Tick each check once you have completed it.

10.Choose one feature to add to make your writing more engaging.
  • A comparison, such as a simile
  • A list of unrelated numbers
  • The same sentence repeated many times
  • A missing full stop in every sentence
11.Write one vivid sentence about a rock-pool creature. Include a simile or a carefully chosen descriptive phrase.
12.Before you finish, choose a useful next step: add a fact, improve a word, or read your work aloud. State which one you would do and why.
