Our Pupil Council gave us the challenge to research from a list of famous Scots. We spent time in ICT researching and writing down interesting facts about these famous people to help us decide who would be the names of our new school houses.

How to Carve a Pumpkin
Well done to everyone in the class who successfully wrote instructions during writing – you should be very proud! 
Instructional Writing in P3B
We have been learning to write instructions.. Our focus was on pumpkin carving. We decided that our success criteria was to…
- include capital letters and full stops
- use time marker words – first, then, finally
- to include sub headings – step 1, step 2, step 3
- to make sure our instructions were in the right order
- to use finger spaces and to write on the line
We carved a pumpkin as a class and then looked at our photographs and wrote our instructions as a whole class as well. Check back soon to see some examples of our finished pieces of writing!
