Hotcake Recipe

LI: To structure and write a procedural text.

For writing we have been learning how to write a procedural text. To do this we used the recipe we followed at Tech. This procedure tells the reader how to make hot cakes. Before we wrote this we worked collaboratively to order the pictures Mrs Anderson took of us making the hotcakes. Once we had done that we matched each photo with a verb. A verb is an action word and tells anyone following the recipe what they need to do. After that we use the verbs as sentence starters and collaboratively wrote a list of instructions.

Prepositions

L.I To write a description of my cityscape using prepositions.

This city scape is in Amsterdam. In the middle of this silhouette is the skinny bridge. The skinny bridge got its name because once it was so skinny that not even two people could walk on it. Not many people know that the city is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in Europe? Or that amsterdam is the only city in the world with a medieval center that is a Red Light District. On the far left is the windmill. The windmill is really important because they help pump water from one place to another. On both sides of the skinny bridge are houses called ‘skinny houses’ because they are so narrow and connect with the Skinny Bridge.  On the far right is the Bell Tower which is the tallest structure in the city and if you want to go in the bell tower there is now lift there are only stairs to go in. The colours I used as my background were red, yellow and orange, all warm colours.
