Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain how to write a story with a familiar setting about a family trip to the seaside, a set of cards to select and role-play narrative story ideas for a familiar setting about a family outing and a vocabulary word bank to structure and write a story using a familiar setting about a family trip to the seaside.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to plan and write a narrative story to describe a problem that might occur during a family visit to the seaside.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise composing and presenting some example stories with familiar settings to illustrate things that might be experienced by a family. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
