Task 5

Creative Writing Task - This week you're going to be writing a set of instructions for 'How to make a minibeast sandwich'. Click on the link below to watch the video to help you and give you lots of ideas. First plan you set of ingredients - make them as gross as you can using amazing adjectives. Then think carefully about what you'll need to do to complete each step. 
Remember to use numbered steps, time connectives, bossy verbs and adverbs to help - Check the WAGOLL for a very basic example.

Use the success criteria to check that you've included all the features of a set of instructions. 

You can send your work back to the teachers by logging into Google Classrooms with your child's HWB login or emailing a photo of your writing. 

As usual please continue to read at home with your child. BugClub reading books are available online and teachers can monitor usage and update when new books need issuing.
