Can someone kindly pm or post the option/ topics the children where asked to write about this year? This is to give an idea of what could be asked and for pratice.

Thanks

They always seem to have a choice of a handful titles in the Kent test - either a letter of piece of descriptive writing. Previous years have included for example a piece of writing discussing whether Jamie Oliver's new school dinners are a good idea.

I know my DS said there were about 6 titles to choose from and he chose to write about "the storm". I think he said one of the other titles was something like "your favourite day out". Sounds like there's a broad range of topics to choose from.

My daughter tells me she chose the subject:-

"It was a while before I realised my cat could talk"

She thinks there were about 8 to choose from but can't be any more specific than that.

1. The Storm
2. Moving Houses
3. I don't know what that noise was .....
4. The new pupils

I hope this helps as these are the 4 topics she rememeber. She chose the Moving Houses.

1. The Storm
2. Moving Houses
3. I don't know what that noise was .....
4. The new pupils
5. It was a while before I realised my cat could talk"
6. The Burglary

That's why I love this forum. 'All for one and one for all'

Good Luck.

Oh dear, my son said he wrote about something to do with what rules he would change at school if he could or similar I can't quite remember but it doesn't sound like that would fit into any of the categories that have been mentioned!!!!!! :?

My DS thinks that 3 & 6 are the same topic. It was "At first I didn't know what woke me, but then I heard it again". He thinks the final topic was to do with a diary but not sure. :?:
