In our class text ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’, George concocts a strange potion which his Grandma drinks!

Think about what you would put into a potion.

Write a set of instructions for a potion. Remember to include a title and  an equipment list. Each step needs to be on a new line and start with a ‘Bossy’ verb.

Write down ‘Bossy’ verbs you might use e.g. Put, Shake, Tip, Sprinkle

Now use these to write your own instructions. You could add a picture of the finished potion!

Friday is spelling day! I have set a Quiz as a 2do on Purple Mash. You could also practise writing your spelling words in a full sentence. Remember to form all of your letters carefully!

Our Science work  in class has been focusing on different food groups. I have set a Science activity on Purple Mash:

We are still focusing on our class text George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. You can access a cop[y of the book below:

georges-marv-medicine-book

Monday

Read Chapter 1 Grandma, and Chapter 2 The Marvellous Plan. We meet the 2 main characters in the story – George and his Grandma. Complete the sheet below to make notes about what we know so far, and then also make a prediction about what might happen.

finding-answers-sheet-wk-1

Tuesday

Read Chapter 3 George Begins to Make the Medicine, and Ghapter 4 Animal Pills.

Look at this sentence: Although George was a small boy, he had big ideas.

This is a complex sentence because there are 2 ideas in this one sentence – George is small, he has big ideas.

The word ‘although’ is a conjunction and joins the 2 parts of the sentence together.

Complete the conjunctions sheet below.

conjunction-sheet

Wednesday

Today we are going to focus on prefixes. A prefix is a string of letters that goes at the beginning of another word to change its meaning, so for example, if you put un at the beginning of tidy it becomes untidy.

Have a look at the attached sheet. The red letters at the top are prefixes and need to be matched up to the words below. Match them up in a list and then put at least one new word with each prefix in a sentence.

Challenge: use the same prefixes but add them to some other words. Put each new word you make in a sentence too to show that you know what it means. Which prefix makes the longest list?

prefixes (1)

Thursday

Read Chapter 5 The Cook Up and Chapter 6 The Brown Paint.  It’s more conjunctions today, you’re going to be an expert!

Use the sentence starts and conjunctions on the sheet to write some new complex sentences.
