No place like home…

What a shock Miss Seymour had when she came into class to find a witches hat and a pair of ruby shoes on the classroom floor! The children played detective to try and figure out what had happened. We think the witch must have visited us and forgotten her hat and shoes! We have no idea how she got in!

We made Tornadoes using glass jars, washing up liquid and water. We found that if you shook it in a circle we could see a tornado shape in the jar. We talked about the way the wind moved in a tornado.

One thought on “No place like home…

  1. This is fabulous work – I love reading all about what you have been doing! Do you think that you could make a potion to get rid of the witch in case she comes back for her shoes and hat? I think that would be very useful! Also, perhaps you could write some spells to make her go away?
    Well done everyone!
