To help with the instructions download ‘How to make the perfect pancake’ from https://www.literacywagoll.com/instructions.html#
This is how your work should be set out. As you can see, they have included sub headings of ‘What you need’, ‘List of Equpiment’ and ‘What to do’.
So your task today is to:
- Title
- A little introductory sentence e.g. Have you ever wanted to eat a tasty face? Read on to find out how!
- List of Ingredients (Commas in a list)
- List of Equipment
- The step by step guide in chronological order. (Verbs and Adverbs)
- Closing sentence e.g. I hope you enjoyed creating and eating a chocolate face cake!
- Could you draw and take a picture to put on the instructions?
Topic: Science: Field Trip! (Virtually of course)
Today we are going to be exploring 3 Zoos and some of the animals that live in these Zoos. We’re going to Houston Zoo, Kansas City Zoo and San Diego Zoo. Have a look at the live cams of some of the animals you want to see. While you’re watching them write down how the Zoo has made the enclosure like the habitat where they originate from.
Example: The Penguins enclosure is well suited to them as they have a place to swim and keep themselves cool, like they would near the sea. The Zookeepers will provide them with fish to eat and they have rocks where they can make their nests.
