Chapters 3 and 4 - ‘George Begins to Make the Medicine’ and ‘Animal Pills’
Chapters 5, 6 and 7 - ‘The Cook-up’, ‘Brown Paint’ and Grandma Gets the Medicine
Chapters 8 and 9 - ‘The Brown Hen’ and ‘The Pig, The Bullocks, the Sheep, the Pony and the Nanny-goat.’
Chapters 10 and 11 - ‘A Crane for Grandma’ and ‘Mr Kranky’s Great Idea.’
Chapters 12 and 13 - ‘Marvellous Medicine Number Two’ and ‘Marvellous Medicine Number Three.’
Chapters 14 and 15 - ‘Marvellous Medicine Number Four’ and ‘Goodbye Grandma.’

The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentations guide students through a wide range of activities, including those designed to enhance the following skills: retrieval, understanding vocabulary, inference, explanation, summarising, sequencing, analysis and deeper thinking activities. Additional worksheets and templates are also provided where needed for the creative tasks.

All of the resources and tried and tested in real classrooms, catalysing excellent outcomes. The resources are suitable for students in upper KS1 and lower KS2 (I originally used them with year 2 and year 3 classes).
