Description

In this unit, pupils write a recount in one paragraph about a school trip. Pupils use sequencing fronted adverbials with commas to order their recount chronologically and they focus on including expanded noun phrases - also punctuated with commas - to describe nouns.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of recount writing from the Year 1 unit 'School trip: writing a recount'. Here, pupils review what it means to write chronologically, including by using sequencing fronted adverbials followed by commas to order their sentences. Pupils focus on including expanded noun phrases to describe key nouns and on using 'because' and 'that' to stretch first ideas within their recounts. This unit prepares pupils for more non-fiction writing in the Year 2 unit 'Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole: non-chronological report'.
