Fun with Potion Procedures!

On Friday morning the children from Year 1P had a wonderful time making a potion for Mrs. Beatty. The Friday before, we had a shared writing session where children from the class helped put together a procedure for a potion that would turn Mrs. Beatty into a frog!

We got all the ingredients from the potion ready to put into our bowl.
These included: alien frogs legs, large frog eyes, rotten bananas, green slug slime and dead lady bugs.


Paige and Tieg loved being my witch and wizard assistants and we followed the procedure to mix to potion together for Mrs. Beatty. The children loved mixing in all the gross ingredients!

It was now the time for Mrs. Beatty to drink her potion, to see wether she would turn into a frog! Although it was a a bit chunky, Mrs. Beatty put a spoonful into her mouth and ran out the room from the horrible taste! We had a few people in our class that were worried for Mrs. Beatty and asked if they could go and check on her. I assured them that she would be ok.



After 2 minutes Mrs. Beatty returned and to the whole classes' surprise she had turned into a frog!! The children were extremely excited that their potion worked and some of them even got a bit scared that a was a real witch! (only on the weekends)



Luckily, we gave Mrs. Beatty another spoonful of potion and she turned back into her normal self in time for morning tea!

The children loved learning about procedures in this fun and magical activity!
