Happy Mother's Day

This week in class we talked a lot about our mums and how special they are! In Literacy, we started to look at how to write a great set of instructions.

I was wondering whether we could combine the two...

Can you write a set of instructions for the perfect mum? Remember to think about the key features of instructions we identified this week (I have listed some below) and think about what it takes to be a superb mum. Maybe you could ask your mums to give you a few ideas; they are the experts after all.

Key features of instruction texts:
An opening
Imperative (bossy) verbs
Time connectives
Written in chronological order
A closing statement

  1. To make a perfect mum you will need some things like: love, care and lots of other things; and to follow the instructions below carefully.

    First, listen to your children, they will be telling you something important. If you are lucky they may listen back.

    Next, cook your children nutritious meals and make sure they have a healthy diet to help them grow.

    Always make sure your children get to school on time.

    Then, you must help your children do their homework, if they ask you to.

    Every night make sure you read your children a story before bed.

    On special occasions you must take your children to a restaurant that they choose.

    Give your children good advise so that they can achieve their goals.

    At all times you must be patient with your children, they are learning too.

    A good mother must always cheer her children up when they are sad. Hugs and kisses are best for this.

    Finally, and most importantly, you must always give your children lots of hugs and kisses so that they know you love them.

    If you make sure that you follow these instructions carefully then you will certainly be the perfect mum.

  6. Instructions for a perfect mum
    Have you ever sat down one morning because you are tired of your mum sitting near the computer and doing office work instead of playing with you? Well help is at hand. Read these set of instructions to make your boring mum into a nice, cheerful mum.

    Ingredients: about half a litre of caring, some cuddles and hugs (I would say at least 250ml of that.) 600ml of peace and quiet. 500ml of helping, but the most important bit is 2 litres of continuous love.

    What you need to do:

    First get a large cup.

    Next, one by one insert all the mentioned ingredients into the glass.

    Then stir well and carefully until it becomes like a juicy kind.

    After that expose the drink to the air until it comes to room temperature.

    Finally, once the drink is done, carefully hand it over to your mum. That is how to make your mum a perfect mum. Spectacular! Your mum is gleeful and abandons her office work and comes to play with you! Why don’t you give it a try and let me know the results!

    Final note of warning: Remember to expose the glass for at least 20 minutes, but if you could expose it for longer that is great! Remember, the more time you expose it, the more perfect your mum would be!
