Year 6
Lion King Production Script
Writing Competition 2025:
This year's theme for the writing competition is the Lion King.
We would like the children to write a story based in the universe of Disney's Lion King. It is up to the children whether they would like to include Dorkus (Richard Best's beloved corgi) as one of the main characters, or whether they would prefer to keep the original characters the same.
Could the children write an alternative ending to the original story?
Perhaps they can create an origin story for why Scar became so evil?
Is there a version where Mufasa doesn't meet his end?
What if the hyenas rebelled against their master?
We would like the children to take care to craft this piece of writing at home. Be mindful to proof-read your writing carefully and make it as engaging as possible.
The deadline for the writing entries will be announced soon. Happy writing!
Welcome to Year 6!

Our learning last week:
Last week, we finished writing our environmental narratives linked to the vehicle text of 'Greta and the Giants'. We have also now completed both our beautiful and contrasting, dead landscapes in art, which supplement the themes within our writing outcomes. In science, we recapped the the process of filtration and creating a solution with water - we continued this learning by talking about how we can recover the solute by using the process of evaporation.
Our learning this week:
This week, we will be experiencing our DT and Drama week. Year 6 will be spending the morning rehearsing for the production, around children's transition days, and creating our class puppets in the afternoon.
