Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify some of the things that could be completed in the Alps during the summer and winter, a shared reading text to describe how to structure and format a recount of a family visit to a special location and templates to write a recount of a visit to the French Alps during one of the seasons during the year.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to structure and format a recount of events and experiences that might happen during a family holiday.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise writing personal recounts describing events and experiences that could happen on a family holiday to different locations around the world. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
