George’s Marvellous Medicine

The whole class have started reading George’s Marvellous Medicine.  Everyone is enjoying it so far and it has been good for P3 and P4 to work together for reading for a change.

We have so far looked at 3 different strategies to help us with our reading.  We looked at Prior Knowledge which involved thinking about what we already know about the book using the front cover and the back cover.  We then looked at tricky words in chapter 1 and used a dictionary to find out the meaning.  We also looked at visualisation to show different things we had found in the book that told us about Grandma.  We used Popplet on the iPads to make a mind map showing facts about grandma.  We divided the information into the categories of looks and personality.

On Friday we wrote about our own Grandmas.  Thankfully, nobody has a grandma like George!

We also have started to update our learning logs to show what we have been learning with this book.  We are looking forward to reading more.
