Instruction Writing in Year 6

Year 6 would love another school pet. Mrs Lawson has informed us the only way she would consider another pet was if we could suggest ideas for a pet and write a really excellent set of instructions. The instructions need to be easily understood for pupils and staff to ensure the new pet will be really well looked after. Absolutely no surprise that Year 6 stepped up to the challenge. Firstly, we applied our research skills to collect all the information we needed about our chosen pet. We identified key features of instruction writing. We revised our knowledge of imperative verbs, brackets for parenthesis, adverbials, conjunctions and prepositions. We learnt about how to use concise language and bullet points. Eventually, we wrote some excellent instructions. All that is left now is to proof read our work and present our instructions to Mrs Lawson.
