Procedural Writing

We Are Learning To write: 

Procedural Texts

Sienna applying her sock
 puppet's features.

We began by reading and discussing a variety of procedural texts, such as Getting Ready for Bed and the instructions for making sock puppets, which we had a go at making ourselves.

 to his sock puppet.

completed puppets.

Edward had a go at following some complicated instructions for drawing a symographic hedgehog.  It took a lot of concentration, counting and ruling lines accurately.

We then practised writing our own procedural texts: How to Clean Your Teeth and How to Make a Healthy Sandwich.  Here is what Jade wrote:

A  Healthy Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 pieces`of bread

7 pieces of salami

1 piece of crumbed fish

1 piece of crumbed chicken

7 pieces of cucumber

Some tomato sauce

Some ham

1 big piece of cheese

1 big piece of lettuce

Steps:

1. Put your two pieces of bread on a flat surface.
2. You butter each side using a  butter knife.
3. Place some lettuce on the first piece of bread.
4. Cut a strip of cheese and put that on top of the lettuce.
5. Get a ham container out of the fridge and put some ham on top of your cheese.
6. Squirt some tomato sauce on your ham
7. Cut some delicious cucumber and put it on your tomato sauce.
8. You will love some crumbed chicken on your cucumber.
9. Put yummy crumbed fish on the crumbed chicken.
10. Put some bacon on top of your crumbed chicken.
11. Put your other piece of bread on the top.
12. Heat it up for a minute or two in the oven.
13. This is quite obvious… you eat it!!!!

I hope you like your healthy sandwich!

Diorama of Geographical Features

The World Around Us

As part of our Reading, we read a series of books about geographical features.  Some of the features we learnt about were: lakes, oceans, forests, rivers, deserts, waterfalls, glaciers, avalanches, mountains and volcanoes.





To visually demonstrate what we had learnt, we divided into three groups and each group created a diorama using papier mâché.  We tried to include as many interesting geographical features as we could. 






After painting them, we labelled and explained the different features we had been reading about.  Here are our final products.

Investigating the Food we Eat

Following on from our Life Education visits with Harold, learning about a balanced diet and our digestive systems, on Wednesday 20th June we investigated the ingredients of some of the foods we buy from the supermarket.  

We grouped the food products on our 'Food Traffic Lights', according to whether they are processed foods, foods from animals or food from the ground.  We made some interesting discoveries!
