Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to sort sentences about a seaside holiday between the past and future tense, a vocabulary word bank to use when recording seaside events for a narrative storyboard and a template to record illustrations and complete captions to describe seaside events and experiences.

The interactive presentation gets the children to identify vocabulary that can be used to compose sentences in the past tense describing a visit to a seaside and explore the sequence of events that could happen in a narrative story with a familiar setting.

This lesson is part of a literacy scheme of work to get the children to explore and record the narrative sequence of events in stories with familiar settings about some of the special things that can happen in a family. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
