Prime Number - These are special numbers in maths. They can only be divided evenly by themself, and 1. 11 is a prime number, because you can only multiply 1 and 11 to make 11 (1x11=11, 2x?? = 11 - no whole number). 12 is NOT a prime number because you can use all these times tables to make 12: 1x12, 2x6, 3x4.

Start with the most exciting moment of the holiday - action time! No "On the holidays..." starts please.
Start with dialogue to get your reader interested.
Use speech marks and remember, said is DEAD!

When we write a recount, we are remembering what has already happened - in the past - not something that is happening now or in the future. We need to make sure we use the past tense all throughout our recounts and not muddle up the future into it!
