As part of our work on instruction writing, today we have made some vegetable soup. The children helped to cut the vegetables including carrots, celery and onions, then added tinned tomatoes, seasoning and stock. A group of children took the pan to the cafe to cook the soup and then used a hand blender to blend the soup. At snack time we all had a try of the soup, some children didn’t like it but there were some who had second helpings. Next week the children will plan and write their own instructions on how to make vegetable soup remembering to use time connectives, bossy verbs and hopefully even some adverbs.
