Holiday Recount Craft Templates

These templates are a fun addition to use when publishing student holiday recounts at the start of each term.

The summer holiday recount template can be done as a self-portrait where students draw their 2 favourite activities from the holidays in the sunglasses. There are 4 options to choose from. Students can decorate and write on the Easter Egg for their Easter holiday recount. The mug template can be used after the winter holidays. These look great with cotton wool pasted onto the top of the mug to look like a giant cup of hot chocolate.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to edit texts for meaning, spelling, capital letters and full stops, for ourselves and others.
  • We are learning to construct texts using software including word processing programs, e.g. MS Word.
  • We are learning to create short imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to explore, record and report ideas using familiar words and beginning writing knowledge.
  • We are learning to create and edit short written texts to record and report ideas and events using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling of CVC words.
  • We are learning to recognise that texts have different features and purposes, e.g. recount, narrate, express opinion, inform, report and explain.
  • We are learning to identify that texts serve different purposes and that this affects how they are organised.
