Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe how to structure and format a news report to recount what happened during a flood in the school and a template to select and record what different characters might have said to recount what happened during a flooding event.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore what different characters might have said to recount what happened during a flood in the school.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to compose and edit an informal recount about a significant weather event that could happen at the school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
