This booster / intervention lesson is designed to help year 5 and 6 pupils who are working below the expected level develop their writing skills. The lesson is focused around writing a recipe for making a sandwich. This task will enable pupils to practise the following:

• Writing for a range of purposes and audiences
• Using simple devices to structure the writing and support the reader (e.g. headings, subheadings, bullet points)
• Using capitals and full stops mostly correctly
• Selecting vocabulary and grammatical structures that reflect what the writing requires
