11+ Creative Writing Service
Year 4 Creative Writing
Year 4 is where preparation quietly starts. Pupils learn to paragraph properly, punctuate dialogue and use description that earns marks rather than filling space.
Course outline
Session 01
Baseline piece and targets
A first assignment pitched at Year 4 level so your tutor can set honest, specific targets.
Session 02
Planning before writing
A repeatable planning routine, taught before every task: idea, shape, opening image, ending.
Session 03
Narrative and description
Building settings, characters and atmosphere with sensory detail rather than long word lists.
Session 04
Sentence craft and accuracy
Sentence variety, punctuation for effect and the technical accuracy that lifts a whole band.

A written progress record for parents showing what has improved and what comes next.
