Culturally relevant personal narrative writing pack for KS1–KS2, EAL, and SEND learners. Uses Gulf-region vocabulary and visuals to build confidence in past tense recounts, sequencing, and personal voice.

Boost personal narrative writing skills with this culturally relevant pack designed for students in the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar. This engaging resource helps EAL, SEND, and primary learners plan, write, and improve weekend recounts using familiar Gulf-region vocabulary and visuals.

What’s included:

• Editable PowerPoint lesson with step-by-step guidance
• Colourful “My News” word bank featuring local places, foods, and activities
• Spelling support mats
• Peer and self-editing checklists

Perfect for KS1–KS2 and adaptable for mixed-ability classes. Builds confidence in past tense writing, sequencing, and personal voice while making literacy learning culturally meaningful. This is a great resource to put on display that shows that you are fulfilling ‘cultural awareness’ criteria for the region.

I used this resource to teach support students. I put the posters on the wall and then once a week would go through the presentation adapting as needed to prepare them for a writing class. Beginning with speaking, modeled writing, the students showed huge progress.
