Year 4 - Making Jam Sandwiches

In Year 4 we have been looking at instructional writing. We read a few examples, identified the features and practised giving and following instructions. We realised the importance of the instructions being clear and accurate when our teachers made jam sandwiches, which initially didn't turn out as planned!

We then pretended to act out a set of instructions that our partner had written. If our actions were what our partner wanted us to do, then we could conclude that their instructions were specific and detailed. We had instructions on how to ride a bike, how to plant a seed, how to brush our teeth and even how to plait hair. Can you guess which is which?
