After reading the story: Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper, the children in Year 2 had a go at making their own Pumpkin Soup. The children used what they had been learning about instructions to locate all of the ingredients and equipment from the ‘You Will Need’ list and they then followed the bossy verbs in the method. The children were exceptionally good at peeling and chopping and showed great perseverance especially when peeling the potatoes and cutting up the onions when their eyes were watering. They will now use what they have learnt to write their own instructions on how to make the soup. Later we all got together in the hall so that the children could all try the soup themselves and the majority decided that is was delicious!
