This week, our Year 2 students engaged in a hands-on activity focused on procedural writing in their Hebrew lesson. After completing their current story about decorating a birthday cake, the students eagerly jumped into the exciting world of cupcake decorating! Please click here to see photos from the lesson.
Before the fun began, our budding chefs brainstormed an array of delicious toppings to inspire their creations. Each student received a cupcake to decorate, and excitement filled the air as they carefully spread frosting, added sprinkles, and arranged marshmallows and chocolate. As they decorated, students practiced their oral skills by describing their creations to classmates.
Following the decorating session, the students transitioned into a writing activity, where they learned about procedural writing. They discovered how to explain the steps involved in making their decorated cupcakes and matched photos of their finished cupcakes with the corresponding steps. This reinforced their comprehension and recall skills.
This exciting activity not only made procedural writing enjoyable but also allowed students to practice essential oral and writing skills. We can’t wait to see how they apply these new skills in future projects!
