The Witches

I have really enjoyed revisiting a selection of Roald Dahl books and using them as a springboard for science investigations and experiments. In this session we shall be finding out about a rather seasonal book – The Witches. Dahl, rather disturbingly, leads us to believe that witches are here amongst us and their identity can only be given away by clues known only to the few (flaring nostrils, bald heads which they scratch, and so on).

How to use this resource

There are 5 Rays, which provide a programme for one year’s sessions for a children’s group running during term-time. For each Ray, there is a set of topics, each of which comprises a theme for a term or half-term.

The sessions are presented in a pick-and-mix way - some information, some games, crafts, videos, etc. You are encouraged to adapt the material to your own setting , the time you have available and the resources you have. Don’t think that you have to do everything on offer.
