Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and explain how to structure and format a recount of a garden job, a vocabulary word bank to select different adverbials of time to use when sequencing the events listed in a recount about garden planting and a template to structure and write a recount about how to plant different flowers in a garden during the spring.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to write a factual recount about how to plant different flowers in a garden during the spring.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to select and compose factual recounts describing some of the things that can happen when completing jobs at home in some other locations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
