KS2 non-fiction writing worksheet that helps Year 3 and Year 4 children plan and write a recount about a happy or sad day in their life.

A short reminder explains what a recount is: writing that gives information about something that has happened, told in the order things happened. Children then choose a day when they were really happy or really sad, and write about when and where it happened, who was there, how they felt and what happened after. A printed bank of time connectives (first, then, next, in between, during, after that, following this, afterwards, at the end, when, until and finally) helps them sequence each event clearly. The prompt also asks them to try using paragraphs.
