Year 1 look at different writing genres

On Friday Year 1 looked at different genres of writing.  They talked about writing instructions and looked at a variety of examples from everyday life including recipes, making a bird feeder and a lego model.  The children realised the importance of following the instructions in the order they appear otherwise there could be a disaster!  They then went outside gathered their equipment and began the planting process. Following this they were tasked with writing the instructions on how they planted their tulip bulb and managed to use time words to sequence the events and plenty of adjectives to make the instructions more real. We look forward to seeing the beautiful blooms in Spring.
