This term we have been learning how to write instructions. We wrote about ‘How to bake a cake’ and ‘How to tie your shoelaces’.

“I enjoyed making the poster for how to tie your shoelaces” – Hunter

“I enjoyed making the cakes because we got to draw pictures and write it step-by-step” – Honey

“We got to tie our shoes and I didn’t know how to tie my shoes so you can copy it to learn how to tie your shoes” – Rosie

“I learned how to tie my shoelaces and Kane helped me learn how to” – Heidi

This term we also read ‘Da Elves and da Shoemakker’ written by Julie Dennison which is a Shetland version of the well-known story ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’.

“We read the story and it’s called da elves and da shoemakker and Hunter brought it in” – Cameron

“We picked out our favourite Shetland words to translate into English” – Hunter

“I really liked the story because it was in Shetland and most of the stories we read are in English” – Honey
