Magical Instructions by 5G

This week in Year 5 we have been looking at writing instructions. Using Pie Corbett's 'How to make Magic Wings' as a template, we have written our own sets of instructions on how to create a magical object. Below is Hari's set of instructions, we hope you enjoy them and are inspired!

How to make a Mermaid Tail

Have you ever wanted to swim deep under water all day? Then it's your lucky day! Follow these instructions carefully and you will be able to explore the sea!

You will need:

Sapphire fish scales
Melted earwax
Water lily pads
Fairy dust

1) Firstly, you need to collect some sapphire fish scales from the fish that live in the river of the Enchanted Forest.

2) Secondly, collect 3 buckets of earwax from a giant and melt in down into a sticky glue to stick the scales together.

3) Then, gather some water lily pads from a pond to make the inside of the tail, otherwise the scales will stick to your legs!

4) Finally, collect some fairy dust from the bottom of a rainbow. Then you need to sprinkle it all over the tail.

Now you have made a magial mermaid tail! Warning, do not swim into a rock underwater or the tail will break into pieces and you will have to start all over again...

  1. Well done Hari! In 6F, we thought your use of time connectives made the sequence of what needed to be done very clear. Also, using a conditional structure (otherwise) helped to explain how the tail could go wrong.
    Karthiga thought, as a constructive next step, that maybe you could find a synonym for collect, to avoid repetition.
