In Year 3 and 4, our focus is on learning about writing instructions, based on the book, ‘How to wash a Woolly Mammoth’ by Michelle Robinson. As part of this unit, the children have been learning about selecting the most appropriate imperative (bossy) verbs to use, as well as including prepositions to ensure that their instructions are effective. As part of this they had to give clear instructions to a friend on how to clean some very dirty ducks.
On Thursday, the children at home and in school followed instructions to make a Woolly Mammoth of their own, and afterwards, evaluated the instructions to improve them for future use. This will inform the instructions that the children will be writing next week, to help a new keeper at Marwell! We think that the children have followed the instructions beautifully – what do you think?
