WALT: write a recount

Today, we are going to write a recount all about the fun you had during Half Term.

You did a great job planning your recount yesterday and came up with lots of ideas to include in your writing

When you write a recount, the first thing that you need to do is to start with an introduction. This usually includes when and what happened.  So we will start our recount with:

Last week, it was finally half term.

We are then going to go on and write about what we did in chronological order. We use time connectives to do this, such as:

On Shrove Tuesday,

On Pancake Day, 

On Thursday, 

During the weekend, 

Every time we write about the next thing that we did, we start on a new line. 

Remember, to use lots of adjectives and adverbs (ly words) to make your day sound as exciting as possible.
