In our workshops, we looked at the book ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ by Roald Dahl. We read an extract from the book and discussed what the book is about and why it’s such a great book. We then made a group ‘medicine’ using a variety of ingredients you could find in a kitchen or bathroom. Everyone got a chance to choose an ingredient and decide how much of it to put in. After putting it in the bowl and giving it a good mix, the children wrote their ingredient up on the whiteboard to create our group recipe. Our ‘medicines’ smelled as horrible as they looked! After creating our group recipe, everyone got the chance to write a recipe of their own. If anyone makes their own ‘medicine’ (under adult supervision) remember to post a photo on the blog.
