During our writing lessons, we will be using George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl as an inspiration to write our own magical potion/ poisonous potion for someone. During the latter part of the half-term, we will be doing sentence stacking lessons on 'How to make a canopic jar?' The children will then use the skills that they have learnt from the sentence stacking lessons and apply them on their independent piece based on 'How to mummify a body?'
