Procedural Writing & Fairy Bread Making

Primary teachers are always searching for new and interesting ways to make the education process fun and motivational and at PPN, teachers are no different.
This term, Year 1 students have been learning to write short procedural texts where they have been able to sequence needed steps to make or do something. A typical example of a procedural text may include recipes.

Last week, Year 1 students delighted themselves while making and treating themselves to ‘Fairy Bread’, which is one of our great Aussie kids party favourites.  The bread is spread with margarine and topped with 100's and 1000's (coloured sprinkles).

Children loved the activity, and there was a feeling that the lesson had been successful as spontaneous and joyful comments such as: “Yummy Fairy Bread!”, “Making Fairy Bread is awesome!”, “I love Fairy Bread!” roamed through the room.
