A Pop -Up Card for Mum!

We have been learning about the structure of instructional writing Since it is Mother’s Day on Sunday, Mrs Richardson said we could make our Mums a pop up card. We were really excited, but…. There was a catch. We had to write and follow our own instructions. We got given some draft paper and some ideas of how to make things pop up. We tried lots of ways and as a class wrote out how we could do it. We had to start with a title, then add in what materials we would need, (in order of use) then finally add our method. A method are the instructions or, ‘what you do’ The next day we were so excited to start making our cards, but…. There was another catch! Mrs Richardson had cut up all our instructions. We had to put them in order again. When we thought we had them in order, we could use them to start making our cards. It was hard to stop and follow the instructions when we thought we knew what the next step was, but we had to make sure we followed the instructions. Mrs Richardson thinks we did a really good job. Here are some pictures of our work.
