This week we created text maps by drawing pictures and adding some words to  retell the story. We focused on a diary entry from George. We learned this is called writing from the character’s perspective. Text maps can help us with our writing because we are also writing a diary and we could magpie interesting vocabulary.

“I felt happy and amazing doing this activity!” Kate

“This lesson helped me a lot with my writing, as I found it useful.” Jura

“I found this fun and amazing!” Elay

 

 

 

This we week we sketched and painted a scene from George’s Marvellous Medicine.  We used watercolours to do this and were inspired by the illustrator, Quentin Blake. Next week, we will add detail with fine liner.

“I loved doing the painting and everyone was really creative!” Isla

“I liked creating the smoke clouds and everybody’s look really magical!” Oscar

“I loved having Granny in the classroom because she was very crazy and funny!” Isla

“In Maths, with Miss Bishop we all had stations to go to and we swapped around. One had green beads and this helped us learn more about hundred, tens, units. I enjoyed it so much!” Ryan

“I liked doing Maths because I love it a little bit!” Rahaf

“Following on from our George’s Marvellous Medicine topic, we made our own marvellous medicine like Rick Mayal the actor (we watched a clip of chapter 2). I really liked it but my group’s medicine smelt very bad!” Oscar

“I liked creating the potions because if felt fun and magical!” Hugo

Tune in next week for more highlights!

This week we had a big focus on recipe writing. First we learned about imperative (bossy) verbs these tell us to do something. Like, put on your shoes! We played a verb game were we had to roll the dice and complete the action. E.g. Sing a song! This helped us learn about verbs. We worked really to write recipes based on George’s Marvellous Medicine and shared them with each other.

“I liked writing the recipe because I thought it was really fun!” Sophia

“I liked writing the method for the medicine!” Kate

“My favourite ingredient was James’ joyful ice cream sprinkles!” James
