Holiday recount plan worksheet

This KS1 holiday recount planning worksheet helps children organise their ideas before writing, making recount writing more manageable and accessible for all learners. Children are asked to choose two favourite things from their holiday and respond using simple bullet points, reducing the pressure of full sentences at the planning stage.

The worksheet uses clear, supportive questions alongside Widgit symbols, helping children understand what is being asked and supporting pupils with SEND, EAL, or those who benefit from visual prompts. This encourages independence and builds confidence before moving on to writing a full recount.

The layout is calm and child friendly, making it ideal for use in whole class lessons, small groups, or targeted support sessions.
