I hope someone will come along with more information. I have no idea right now. I'm still a bit gutted that VR isn't a separate paper. Ds was banking on that to boost his scores!

I don't think that we will know until this year's sitting I'm afraid.
My personal thoughts are that it will be a piece of descriptive writing as in the example paper and then a piece of factual which could be anything from: write some instructions, write a letter (although this could still come in first section as a descriptive I suppose).
I am starting to do descriptive work with my son a bit but as he is only Year 4 and dyslexic I am not pushing it too much at the moment - I am waiting to see how much he improves before I decide if he is GS material.
Don't be too gutted Zoe22 about the VR paper going, it is easy to have a disaster on that paper even if you are normally strong on it - my dd did
