Free Instructions Drawing Sheet | Year 3 Core | BookFlik
Help your pupils master the art of writing sequential steps with our free English instructions drawing sheet year 3 core resource. Designed specifically for the UK National Curriculum, this activity bridges the gap between visual creativity and technical writing skills. By using illustrations to storyboard a process, children learn how to organise their thoughts into clear, logical steps using imperative verbs and time conjunctions.
This English instructions drawing sheet year 3 core is perfect for teachers looking to support pupils at the expected standard. It provides a structured framework where children draw a process—such as making a sandwich, planting a seed, or building a den—across four distinct panels. Beneath each drawing, pupils are encouraged to write a corresponding instructional sentence. This dual approach helps children understand that instructions must be written in a specific order to be understood by the reader.
Our English instructions drawing sheet year 3 core aligns with the requirement for pupils to use fronted adverbials and clear chronological ordering in their non-fiction writing. It acts as an excellent scaffold for independent writing tasks, allowing children to visualise their ideas before committing them to prose. Whether you are teaching a unit on procedural texts or looking for a quick morning starter activity, this resource offers a flexible way to engage learners.
The sheet includes five targeted questions to deepen comprehension. Pupils will be asked to identify the imperative verb in their own sentences, choose the best time conjunction to start a step, and explain why the order of instructions is important. We have also included an application task where children must calculate the cost of ingredients for their chosen process using £ and p, linking their English work to real-world maths. This resource is a warm, encouraging way to build confidence in writing and logical sequencing for every Year 3 classroom.
