Year 3 have been exploring the features of informative and instructional texts as part of their English this term. They have learned how writers organise information, use precise language and sequence ideas so that a reader can easily understand and follow a process. To develop these skills, students examined a range of model texts and identified key features such as action verbs, technical vocabulary and logical sequencing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This knowledge was then applied to a hands-on writing task. The students drafted an instructional text that explained how to build a bug hotel. They then created theirs by repurposing plastic bottles, a practical link to the class\u2019s ongoing discussions about sustainability, recycling and caring for the environment. Before writing, students revisited the steps they followed during construction. They used displayed photos, the class word wall and their planning sheets to support their drafting. Year 3 should feel proud of how confidently they combined literacy learning with real\u2011world purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
