Follow-up
• The children illustrate and display their magic potions.
• The children could develop this list of ingredients into a recipe. They
could write the instructions for mixing and heating the ingredients.
• By choosing animals and ingredients which start with the same letter, e.g.
cat’s claw, fish’s fin, you could create a class chant. You could also write
some of the ingredients in the plural form, e.g. five fish fins.
• For other procedures, see Activities 2.9, 4.12, 4.15, 4.18, 5.8, 6.10, 6.13,
