About this worksheet
A five-page Year 6 writing assessment built on a volcano fact sheet. The notes fall into four sections: how volcanoes form at plate boundaries, types of volcano, the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 and living near a volcano. A labelled diagram shows the magma chamber, main vent, crater and lava flow. Pupils sort the notes into an introduction and three subheaded sections, then write the report on a full page of lines. The teacher marks it on a grid of four Year 6 statements. It follows the England National Curriculum for Year 6 writing.
