Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to plan and write a diary entry to describe a voyage on a tall ship, a vocabulary word bank to select different adverbials of time to use when sequencing the events listed in a recount and differentiated templates to write and storyboard a recount to describe what might happen on a sea voyage on a tall ship across an ocean.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to write a diary entry to describe a voyage on a tall ship that is sailing across an ocean.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to compose recounts using time adverbials to sequence the events in family visits to familiar and unfamiliar locations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
