We have been looking at the language used in recounts and using this in our own work. Children have been using the past tense brilliantly, focusing on using time connectives and using new adjectives.
We have begun to self edit our own work and that of our partners.
We will be continuing to look at recounts next week.  We will be writing recounts of some video clips and remembering some of our favourite memories.  

We will focus on using different time connectives and using adverbs to describe characters feelings.
