Listen to Chapter 1 again. Draw two pictures of Gordy with and without his Halloween costume/ spell on.
Think about his friendships and his determination to be a great potion maker. Brainstorm words to describe Gordy from what you have heard from the book.
Write 2 paragraphs describing:

Describing his personality and behaviour. Is he determined? How do you know? Make sure you use examples from the text
Remember to add relative clauses and expanded noun phrases!

Today you are becoming evaluators. In order for us to be able to design our own webpage, we must understand what the key features are, which websites are easiest to navigate, how to make a webpage look aesthetically pleasing and how to engage the reader. In order for us to do this, we must explore! Time to get stuck in...
Philosophical Question to finish the day!
Yesterday's Q: What one thing would you add to a bike to make it even better?
Miss Martin: I'd have rocket boosters so that if I become tired and I no longer have any energy, I have something that can race me all the way back home... And maybe a little cooler in the basket so I can have a cooled beverage after a long ride!
Miss Chapman: Like Chitty Bang Bang, the ability to adapt to any situation with the addition of a mattress popping out each time I fall off! Failing that, a button which takes you back home when you are tired! I often find I cycle and forget how far I have gone and have to do it all again to get back!!
Mrs. Hudson: Well I have already adapted my bike by getting an extra soft gel saddle. In reality it is like an armchair!
Today's Question: What is the most important design feature of a winter boot?
Spend some time during dinner or at some point in the evening, discussing this with the other people at home! We're sure there will be some interesting responses :-)
