For Key Stage One, an ideal start to this work would be a circle time discussion, alongside some partner talk, in which the children talk about their summer holiday experiences. It is beneficial to encourage discussion of the senses involved in their experiences, sights, smells, etc.
Pages 2-3 of this document are planning sheets with three spaces for a drawing and a sentence. The children can fill this in in a preliminary lesson before using the subsequent writing sheets for their recount.
There are four different starter sheets with different spaced lines as well as a follow-on sheet for those that are able to or wish to write more.
Early Years children (at various levels) would benefit from 1:1 conversation about what they did during their summer holidays. Depending on confidence levels, the sheets will allow children to express their thoughts from early mark making attempts (with perhaps an adult scribing what the child has said) to pictures with the beginnings of a few letters, words or even a simple sentence.
Have fun!

These Summer Senses Poem mark making prompt sheets will help encourage your children to draw and/or write about their senses and start to get a feel for poetry…perhaps after the children have been on a Summer walk!
Children can complete them at varying levels. For example, your youngest children may be able to tell you what they see or hear and you can scribe a single word in each box. Some children may like to make marks to represent what they sense and your more developed children may like to write the rest of the sentence thinking about describing words to build a picture in the reader’s mind. Please note, the words do not need to rhyme.

Differentiated templates (4 included) which provide a space for children to express thoughts about a book that they enjoy. (UK spelling of ‘favourite’.)
You may like to present your very youngest children with a few books you know they enjoy reading. They can look at them and perhaps gravitate towards the one they enjoy the most. As children get older, you may feel you can talk to them about what they like about the book, e.g. the characters or that it is funny, or it makes them smile at the end when everyone is happy, etc. The oldest children may be able to discuss in more detail characters, objects, settings and plot points that they enjoy.
After discussion (or during), children may like to make marks/drawings on an appropriate sheet or even write some key words. You may like to write down some of the things that the child has said during your chat. The youngest children may for example make a mark on the paper and say e.g. ‘bee’ indicating that is what they have drawn from the book. The oldest children may draw a picture showing some elements of the book and attempt sounding out and writing a sentence e.g. ‘It is fun’ or ‘I like the frog’.

Have great fun building your own stories! Simply select 1 of the 3 differentiated template sheets. Then select a character (6 to choose from), a setting (6 to choose from) and an object (6 to choose from). Stick them into the appropriate boxes at the top of the sheet and let your imaginations run wild!
How much input is required from an adult will depend on the child. The ideas vocalised by a child could range from simply telling you what the items in the boxes are to a fragment of an idea about what might happen with the character and the object in the setting, to a fully fledged story with a beginning, middle and end.
A child’s thoughts can be scribed by an adult or drawn/written by the child. Ideal prompt for story ideas/ writing/ mark making.

Several activity sheets designed for use during or after a zoo trip. Sheets include: - ‘Zoo Checklist’ which features pictures of some typical zoo animals with space underneath each for children to tick the ones they have observed - ‘Zoo Tally’ sheet to enable children to begin to make marks which correspond to quantities of things (children may be encouraged to make any mark in the appropriate box when they see the animal/object, this will develop to tally lines and older children may even count up the tally and write the corresponding number) - ‘What can you see on your zoo trip?’ differentiated writing/drawing/mark making sheets with lots of versions to choose from.
