P3 Potion Making and Writing
In P3 this week we have been writing spells to make Halloween potions! We had great fun reading and writing ingredients for our spell using the potion bottles as inspiration. The children did a great job using their phonics knowledge to have a go at writing unfamiliar words- it was wonderful to see the children independently break words down into sounds to help them and use the ‘special friends’- ay, ee, igh, ow and oo that we have been learning this term. They also had wonderful ideas for items that might go into a witch’s potion! We had a spooky Science afternoon to link our potions to our World Around Us topic- ‘My 5 Senses’- we watched, discussed and recorded what we saw happen when we mixed ingredients together to make the potions fizz and bubble- the children were amazed to see the results!
