Instructional writing in Burch Class

Today in Birch Class the children began exploring the key features of instructional text. The children had a chance to carry out a set of instructions but these instructions had many errors, which made the task incredibly difficult to complete. 

Following this the children had the chance to reflect on why the instructions where so difficult to follow. 

Once given a correctly structured set of instructions the children were enthusiastically able to complete the task. This gave them an opportunity to justify why the key features of instructional text are so important.
