We’ll be writing instructions in our literacy lessons next week so the spellings are all adverbs which could be used to describe how to do something.
Top tip for writing: You can move the adverb to the start of the sentence with a comma after it to make it an adverb opener. For example:
Stir the porridge gently.
Could become…
Gently, stir the porridge.

| 3. | gently |
| 4. | roughly |
| 5. | smoothly |
| 6. | carefully |
