Keep telling me what to do!

Today has been a day about instructions.
In  writing we wrote some awesome recipes for Bob Monkey.  We had lots of cool ideas like Banana Hotdogs and Hazelnut Pizza.  When we write procedures we take care to make them easy for other people to understand.  We also used great adjectives like, 'Delicious', 'Scrumptious' and 'Awesome' to make people want to follow the recipe.

 For maths we learned about compass directions.  We wrote instructions like, 'Take 14 steps north, then take 20 steps west'  We planted flags to mark the treasure!  Then we handed our instructions to a friend and let them try to find our flags.  It was a lot of fun!
This afternoon we have been thinking about journeys.  We tried to describe what a journey was and about how there are all sorts of journeys.  We also thought about any journeys that we have been on.  To finish off we played a game where we wrote a type of journey on a piece of paper and somebody else had to act it out.  It was really silly, but lots of fun.
