Use this Year 3 Croc and Bird Writing Frame for children to write their diary entry. Children may want to write out a first draft in their books and use this writing frame to write up a final copy to be proudly displayed and shared with the class. Encourage children to use all the ideas, vocabulary and editing techniques they have learnt to produce a high-quality piece of writing.

The teaching PowerPoint for this writing unit provides a blank writing frame for you to model writing techniques and what a writer’s thought process might be. It could also be where you do a shared write to guide and inspire reluctant writers.
