Autumn Term One 

Our Year 2 young writers have been stepping into the kitchen as expert chefs to learn all about how to write and follow clear instructions!

To get ready for our main task, the children explored imperative (bossy) verbs like chop, slice, peel, and mix. They practiced acting out cooking actions, matching command labels to pictures, and putting recipe steps into the correct order using time adverbials like First, Next, Then, and Finally.

The highlight of the week was putting our literacy skills to the test in real life—we brought in an assortment of fresh fruit, including strawberries, bananas, grapes, oranges, tinned peaches, and pineapple! Working safely in small groups, the children followed each step carefully to prepare and mix their very own colourful fruit salads.

After tasting our creations, the pupils got straight to work writing out their own step-by-step recipes, making sure every command sentence started with a bossy verb and ended with a full stop or exclamation mark. Finally, they published their finished instructions onto special fruit-themed paper using their neatest joined handwriting.
