Last half term, the children loved reading the book “George’s Marvellous Medicine” and were inspired to create their own medicines and potions. To start with some of the class used different items from our outdoor area such as, grass, mud, leaves, water, flowers… and put them into potions bottles. We also created potions to change the colours of materials in our colour tie dye experiment.
On our final week, we decided to create our own edible potions. The children worked in groups to decide what was going into their smoothie potion. Whilst making the “medicine”, they made decisions about what their medicine would do if someone drank it.
Here are some of the children’s ideas:
- it could make you fly
- it could make you shrink
- it could make you dance
- it could make you melt
- it could make you whizz
What would your medicine do?
