Free Diwali Story Writing Frame | Year 2 Core | BookFlik
Celebrate the Festival of Lights with our engaging English diwali story writing frame year 2 core resource. Designed specifically for Year 2 pupils, this writing frame helps children structure their creative narratives about Diwali. As they follow the journey of our BookFlik character, Ellie the elephant, who loves hearing stories about celebrations, children will learn how to organise their writing using a clear beginning, middle, and end.
This English diwali story writing frame year 2 core resource is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum requirements for Year 2 English. It focuses on developing composition skills, encouraging pupils to use consistent tense, expanded noun phrases, and coordinating conjunctions to describe the colourful diya lamps, vibrant rangoli patterns, and delicious sweets associated with the festival. Teachers can use this tool to scaffold the writing process, ensuring that every child feels confident in sequencing events and using descriptive vocabulary to bring their story to life.
Our English diwali story writing frame year 2 core pack is differentiated to support learners working at the expected standard. It includes five to seven guided questions to prompt deeper thinking:
1. How would you describe the bright glow of the oil lamps?
2. Can you list three delicious treats that might be shared during the festival?
3. What is the very first thing your character does when they wake up on the day of the celebration?
4. How can you use a conjunction to join two sentences about the beautiful decorations?
5. Why is it important for the characters to spend time with their families?
By using this resource, pupils will build their confidence in narrative writing while gaining a respectful understanding of cultural traditions. The clear layout makes it easy for teachers to print and use immediately in the classroom, saving valuable planning time while ensuring high-quality learning outcomes for all students.
