What’s happening in Year 4 – Week 5

Year 4 had a brilliant time in their writing immersion lesson today as we launched our new unit on instructions.

The children explored a variety of recipes and instruction texts, eagerly spotting what made each one easy (or tricky!) to follow. They loved comparing how different texts used numbered steps, bullet points, diagrams and lists of ingredients or equipment.

There was lots of excitement as we hunted for “bossy verbs” and time conjunctions, with the children quickly recognising how important they are for giving clear instructions.

By the end of the session, Year 4 had created their very own checklist of features. They are now full of wonderful ideas and can’t wait to plan and write their own set of instructions in the next lessons!
