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

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