In our Guided Writing lessons, Year 5 have been learning to write diary entries. After reading our class novel, ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class”, Year 5 have been writing diary entries from the perspective of different characters in the story, focusing on using an informal writing style and ambitious vocabulary to write about the character’s thoughts and feelings. What features do you need to include in a diary entry Year 5?



This is my favourite piece of writing because we were writing and reading about the boy at the back of the class. It is about a refugee who has no friends; he is always getting bullied, which is not nice. I did an amazing job at my work if I do say so myself!
