George’s Marevllous Medicine
For our writing masterclass Year 2 enjoyed being a part of George's Marvellous Medicine, our class book for the half term. The children enjoyed making different medicines, watching potions fizz and bubble and watch smoke creep across the classroom. This lead to some wonderful 2A descriptions about George's Lab.
