Year 3 Maple and Elm classes have been learning how to write instructions.

After reading ‘How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth’ by Michelle Robinson & Kate Hindley the children investigated ‘bossy’ imperative verbs like ‘scour’ and ‘scrub’. Children imagined the resources they would need to wash a woolly mammoth and described how they would be using prepositions. E.g ‘The mammoth soap should be applied between the ears.’

The children then went on to read and follow a set of craft instructions independently to make their own woolly mammoth out of a milk bottle! Although each mammoth was a little different, each one was carefully made following each step precisely.

The classes have enjoyed looking at the features of instructions before writing their own.
