We have been investigating what makes a great set of instructions this week in the Realm of Rodda. We have been learning about the importance of verbs when reading and writing instructions, because they tell us what to do.
Above are two examples of Magic Potions. Can you find the verbs? What other verbs have you seen when reading instructions like a recipe?
For example: Stir, drain, pour and drizzle.
