Instructions
We have been learning to read instructions. We now know instructions need time words, bossy verbs, short and clear sentences, headings, bullet points and sometimes illustrations.
Last week we followed instruction we wrote our own and then someone else followed them. The teacher told us where to start and were to go. There was three groups two of them were outside and the other group was inside. Mrs MacDonald took one of the groups, Mrs Hansen took another group and Mrs McCloone took the other we all did different instructions. One of the groups done classroom to junior picnic tables the other group done climbing frame to staffroom and the last group done classroom to senior picnic tables. It was so much fun we really enjoyed it.
Funny face biscuits
Yesterday we were making funny face biscuits. we were following instructions to decorate the
biscuit. so first we got the blue dye to put dots for the eyes next we got the white dye to draw the smile then the pink to do the hair. We added smarties for the eyes. Each group had he colours in a different order.
Balancing birds and spinners
Today we compared two sets of instructions then we got to follow them. We were looking to see if any important details had been missed from the instructions. We all managed to follow them correctly.
Wow P5 you are working so hard! I am so proud of you all. It sounds like you are learning lots of great things.

Following instructions to make biscuits sounds like great fun. I hope they tasted great!
I loved making the instructions. It was so much fun getting outside in the fresh air. I liked taking lots of short notes.
I loved making the super delicious biscuits. They were super super yummy scrummy.
Instructions have been really fun we have learned so much so far and I wish we can do more of amazing instructions.
Hi P5 I can remember when we all had to write instructions from our classroom door to different places outside. We wrote how many steps to take and when to turn left or right. We were in small groups and walked the journey counting and agreeing as a group the instructions to write down. We swapped our jotters with an other group to test the directions out.
What a lot of learning you have been doing. I can see you followed your instructions well. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed icing the biscuit and making balancing bird. I loved looking at instructions and I hope we can do more soon😁
