George's Marvellous Medicine Potion

We love Roald Dahl's story George's Marvellous Medicine.
Today we made our own version of the marvellous medicine.
We started with the ingredients we'd used for our rain in a jar and then raided the pantry and bathroom cabinet for out of date items. (I was supervising all the time and I made  sure Thomas knew not to taste the mixture.)
Thomas mixed the items in a bowl and I wrote the ingredients in a list as they were added to the concoction with amounts noted down.

Whilst we mixed and squirted, added and stirred, we listened to the CD of George's Marvellous Medicine.
We poured the mixture into a bottle and labelled with a homemade medicine label.
This was a fun activity and lasted a long time and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

We intend to do some creative writing from this activity, so we will share when it's written.

Acrostic Poem About Football

An acrostic poem has the word you are writing about down the page so the letter for each sentence spells out the word. We decided to do ours about football, but you could do it about any topic your child is interested in. One day we wrote down lots of words associated with football. Second day we wrote the poem. It was a joint effort. Third day we typed up the poem. We would love to see your poems so please share any you do.

We decided to make some painted paper.  Paint sheets of paper using the left over paint.  Once the painted paper is dry you can save the coloured paper and use it for other art projects and card making. We always make our own cards do we can cut out numbers, letters or objects to make personalised cards.
