Incredible Instructions

In Room 6 we have been learning to write clear instructions - we know that we need a title, a list of what we need and clear numbered steps in the correct order.

Miss Walters bought us the ingredients and equipment to make ice cream in a bag, but first we had to write instructions by watching this video:



After we watched the video and wrote our instructions, we checked our partners writing and made sure it had all the steps in the right order. We put all the best bits together from our 3 favourite sets of instructions to make the most amazing instructions for ice cream that we could!

Next we used our instructions to make our ice cream outside - it took a lot of shaking and cold fingers but we nearly got there in the end! We ended up with a thick milkshake-like ice cream but it still tasted awesome!

Check out our instructions and photos of us making ice cream!

We had an explosion of ice everywhere and we reflected on this later on. We decided next time that we would write new instructions and tell people to put a second bag around everything so that it was extra protected!





We also noticed that our shaking wasn't fast enough to churn the mixture up like an ice cream machine would and that we could have added more ice to the bags so that it froze faster. Our ice cream was pretty runny but our ice was nearly melted so we couldn't carry on! In our evaluation we said that we would put an extra bag around everything, shake faster and add more ice!

It was still yummy though and Frank took these great photos for us!
