Welcome back and happy new year!
In writing this half-term, we’ll be starting with a recount.
The purpose of a recount is to re-tell events and describe what has happened.
Our recounts will be about escaping a volcanic eruption! We’ve been exploring some recounts this week to identify what makes a good one and your children have come up with some success criteria:
- impressive vocabulary
- thoughts and feelings
- description
- past tense
- adverbs
- adjectives
- different sentence starters
Help at home: watch this interactive video and ask your children to describe what they can see and what the person might be thinking and feeling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G7LUQS3X6E
