5K procedure writing

In Year 5, students delved into a Procedure Writing Unit of Work, immersing themselves in structured and comprehensive learning experiences to enhance their writing skills. 

This unit adopted a step-by-step approach, guiding students in crafting clear and effective procedural texts. Emphasising elements such as purpose, audience, language features, and text structure, the curriculum covered various types of procedures, including recipes, instructions, and technical manuals.

The hands-on nature of the curriculum aligned with the broader class theme, as Year 5 students actively participated in activities that required them to apply and follow procedures collaboratively. The concurrent teaching of the IDU unit ‘Food & Fibre’ further enriched their learning experience, enabling students to connect their understanding of procedures with real-life examples explored in the integrated unit. By the end of the unit students had not only honed their procedural writing skills but also gained practical insights into the application of procedures in real-world contexts.
