Literacy:

Today for our literacy task we will be writing a set of instructions!

 

Friday 1^st May

Instructions

I can write a set of instructions in a logical order.

 

Warm Up:

First thing’s first – let’s remind ourselves of the key features of instructional writing – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zfrcmfr

 

Main Task:

You have the choice of what you would like to write your instructions about.  I would recommend that you use something that you have done recently so that you remember all the steps.  For example, you could write a recipe that you have made, instructions for a game that you have played or an art and design task that you have completed.  I made playdough yesterday so, if it were me writing, I would choose to do that as I can still remember the steps clearly.  Below are some examples of different types of instructions.

Whether you decide to write the instructions to how you play a game, make something or bake something, all instructions follow a similar pattern.  They have:

1. Title
2. You will need/Equipment/Ingredients section
3. Method sections which will tell the reader step-by-step how to do something.

In the method section remember to use command words such as ‘chop’, ‘run’, ‘press’, ‘decorate’ and also think about using time openers such as first, next, then, after that, finally and so on.  Number each step so that the reader can clearly see the order that you complete the instructions in and use adverbs (firmly, carefully, slowly, evenly, gently) and adjectives to add more detail.

Happy Writing! ✏️

Extension:

Pictures and drawing are often really helpful to illustrate what the reader is to do in each step. You could add drawings to help your reader follow your instructions.

Additionally, today is your last chance to catch up with David Walliams ‘Fing’ chapters 1-8 as tomorrow the site will be updated with chapters 9-20.  Don’t miss out, it’s a great book! https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses-catch-up/

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found dividing by 4 today. 🚦

 

Extension:

Hit the Button Division facts will give you a little extra practise in dividing by 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqU8zu14u5I

I have also set a multiplication challenge for you on Sumdog which will focus on your knowledge of the 3 and 4 times tables.

This week in Fischy music’s assembly they sing the other one of our Pancake Breakfast songs (Keep the Blues Away).  I now can’t get it out of my head! 😫 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsXqK64r01c

Have a great weekend!
