Writing
Key Stage 1 Writing
This week we will be continuing writing to inform others by writing instructions. We will practice giving instructions and we will be writing some instructions for how to be a good friend!
Monday
Read the story of Starry eyed Stan here :
If there was someone being nasty or bullying others in our school playground what instructions might you say to them?
Practice giving some instructions in your bossy voice!
I think I might say:
Stop it!
Go away!
Leave me alone!
Don't be nasty!
Can you think of anymore?
There are two challenges you can choose which activity you complete. Challenge 1 is aimed at our year 1 children and challenge 2 is aimed at the year 2 children.
Tuesday
This week your challenge will be to write a set of instructions about how to be a good friend.
Today we are going to gets some ideas so we can plan what might go into our writing. We are going to think about what you think makes a good friend.
Use the powerpoint below to help you think of some things that could make someone a good friend.
Next use the worksheet below to help you create a picture of what makes a good friend. In your book draw a person (just like page 1 of the activity sheet). Then write ideas around your picture to show the things that you think make a good friend. On page 2 you will find some ideas to help you.
Wednesday
Read the story of A magical Muddle. This story includes people giving instructions. Can you spot any instructions as you read?
A witches spell is just like a recipe which is another list of instructions!
Let's go back to the ideas we had yesterday when we were thinking about what would make a good friend. Can you remember the ideas you had? Talk to someone about your ideas.
Today we are going to start writing our instructions to tell someone how to be a good friend.
