Writing
We are learning to write instructions. Instructions are used while cooking (recipe), while constructing something ( furniture), while playing a game ( rules for Snake and ladders), giving directions to go somewhere ( map, SATNAV) or while doing something. While writing instructions you need
-
a title ( How to…)
-
List of what you need
-
Method ( How to do it) using a sequence of steps with bullet points / numbering.
-
You can use time conjunctions – first , next, then, after that, finally at the beginning of your sentence followed by a bossy verb ( imperative – eg. wash, turn, fold…)
Check this fun example of How to catch an alien
Activity : Please write a simple instruction – How to brush your teeth or How to make a sandwich or how to make a birthday card or how to make cookies…
You can choose and post it on class dojo. Enjoy…
Maths
This week our focus is on place value. The first part is about partitionong numbers to tens and ones.
