Planting Bulbs

Children in Gruffalo Class today planted dwarf daffodil and crocus bulbs on the perimeter of the school building. For our Big Write this week the children will be writing a set of instructions explaining how to plant bulbs ready for spring time.

In preparation for this week's Big Write we hope that you'll help your child by asking them to explain the process of planting bulbs (Big Talk).

Get them to: 

  • Think of an interesting title for their instructions.
  • Explain the equipment needed.
  • Tell you how to do it!! (Don't worry if this sounds like they're bossing you about! We've told them that they need to use bossy verbs).
    • Use time openers to explain the order (first, next, then, after, finally or lastly).
  • Think of a warning - something that you need to do or must not do.
A selection of children's Big Writes will be available on the blog next week.
