In our literacy lessons, we have been studying instructional text. We looked at lots of instructions and wrote some of our own. We produced a booklet called'Granny's Book of how to use Your Mobile - a guide for scared or confused Grannies!'

Groovy Lava Lamps
Today, we looked at groovy lava lamps. We found out how they work and spent ages watching the blobs go up and down - quite relaxing really!
Then we made our own!
Here are the instructions:
You will need
A glass jar
vegetable oil
plenty of salt
water
food colouring
Step 1: Pour water into the jar until it is just over half full
Step 2: Pour 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the jar
Look at where the oil has settled
Step 3: Add a drop of food colouring
Where is the salt?
Step 4: Shake salt on top of the oil. Count slowly to 5 and watch what happens to the food colouring.
Where is the salt?
Step 5: Add more salt to keep the action going for as long as you want!
It was such good fun that we did it twice!
