About this worksheet
Written as a Junior Reporter training guide, this two-page Year 6 cloze teaches the passive voice through news reporting. Pupils fill twelve gaps from a word bank and use each word once. The passage uses a vault door opened late at night and clues found by a lead detective to show how the passive moves the focus. It also names the auxiliary verb, the past participle and the subject, and turns an active sentence about witnesses into the passive. The answer key lists all twelve gaps. It links to England National Curriculum grammar objectives.
