Winnie the Witch lesson plans (2 weeks minimum)

My class developed a love of Winnie the Witch and so I created these plans to fuel their learning. They loved every moment of this topic and we were able to include the use of imperative verbs into our learning. The children loved the idea of creating their own spells and potions. Year 1 class written for but can be used in reception or year 2. Great ideas can be linked to forest school experiences too!
