This week, writing has linked to history because we’ve been writing a recount of an evacuee’s journey to the countryside.
Today, we planned them using story maps.
We want our letters to include information about the journey there, what our host family is like and what we’ve done so far. Our aim is to remember to use a variety of sentence structures whilst remembering our vital must dos: full stops, capital letters and accurate spelling.
Some children had never seen farm animals before (or so much grass!) so we want to capture the culture shock of moving to a completely new place.
Evacuating to the countryside must have been terrifying as well as partly enjoyable but ultimately it kept millions of children safe.
Help at home by asking your child what the purpose and audience of our recount is.
