Sherbet sorcerers

In Willow class, our focus for non-fiction writing this term is instructions. On Monday, we were introduced to this genre's conventions, instructing on how to make a jam sandwich. Miss Taylor stood at the front of the class with her equipment, whilst the children of Willow gave (not so clear) commands. At one point, Miss Taylor ended up with a scoop of jam in her hands, rather than on the spoon - blame the kids!

Today, we focused on 'how to make sherbet' which will form part of our final piece of writing. In order to clearly understand the process, the children individually made their own sherbet before they tasted their concoctions. 

The children were clearly warned not to use too much bicarbonate of soda, otherwise their sherbet would not taste like such a sweet treat. However, below are the faces of Willow...

Following our experimenting, we devised a checklist for things we would expect to see in a set of instructions. I can not wait to read the children's very clear and concise writing tomorrow!
