“Writing for a Purpose: Blog” is an engaging educational resource designed to help Key Stage 2+ children understand the key features and purpose of writing blog-style texts.

This resource introduces children to the exciting and personal world of blogging—a form of writing where authors share their thoughts, experiences, or opinions in a fun, informal way. Blogs often include chatty language, questions for the reader, and personal reflections, all arranged into friendly paragraphs with eye-catching titles and engaging sign-offs.

Included in the resource is a model blog post that demonstrates all the essential features in action. The example showcases how pupils can develop their own voice, structure their ideas clearly, and connect with their audience using a conversational tone. Visual elements like bullet points or emojis are also highlighted as ways to enhance engagement.

Perfect for use in English lessons or creative writing units, this resource helps teachers introduce the blog genre step-by-step. It supports children in identifying the unique traits of blog writing, practising their informal voice, and writing with purpose for a specific audience.

“Writing for a Purpose: Blog” also encourages cross-curricular opportunities. Children can create blogs linked to school trips, science projects, reading reviews, or history research, using their writing to reflect, explain, and entertain.

In short, this resource offers everything needed to get KS2 learners excited about blogging, build their confidence in using a personal writing style, and show how writing can be a powerful and enjoyable way to connect with others.
