Writing: journalistic writing

Friday 24 October 2025

In writing, we have been writing newspaper reports.

The purpose of a news report is to tell the reader information about something that has happened.

We read a twisted version of the traditional tale The Three Little Pigs called The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. We thought about how the original tale had been twisted and how we could twist our own version.

We thought about what a good newspaper looks like. The children took on the role of a journalist adding catchy headlines and informative sub-headings.

Help at home: ask your children to tell you the story of the three little wolves and the big bad pig. Can they do it like a news reporter?
