Recount Writing - The Wind in the Willows. 2 Lessons Teaching Pack / Rivers Topic Link

Recount Writing - Two Lesson Pack - Year 5 or 6

An excellent creative writing resource pack to develop recount writing skills, and worked perfectly as a cross curricular writing focus for my Rivers topic. Used over 2 lessons.
My class loved listening to the original storytelling of Chapter One of The Wind in the Willows on the video clip included in this pack. It's delightful!
If you are looking to cover some work from a classic text, this will work well too.
It really captured the children's imagination and the recounts they wrote from Mole's perspective were fabulous! The resources are designed to help the children write a recount from Mole's perspective, recounting his experiences of messing about in a boat on the river after he meets Water Rat.
Enjoy the resource pack!
