Writing instructions - Potions

As we have been focusing on writing instructions and recipes we were lucky enough to have Anya Whelan (Alex's mum) come into our class and show us how to make herbal potions with essential oils.  We smelled many different oils and learn that it takes hundreds of roses to extract just a few drops of rose oil so it is very precious.  We made two potions - one to help with colds and flu and the other to help us think clearly and freshen us up (brain break).

We made one by ourselves with citrus oils and eucalyptus to freshen our room.
It was fun mixing the potion.  We have been writing our own magic potions in class.
