“Georges marvellous medicine doesn’t just send Grandma through the roof, it transforms chickens to ten times their usual size – and does something extraordinary to their eggs as well! Now it is your turn. Everyone knows that once you take the shell off a boiled egg it’s white on the outside and yellow on the inside. But did you know

you can turn the whole egg yellow?”

Step 1. Place an uncooked egg in one leg of the tights, around halfway down. Cut off the other leg if you can. Wrap elastic bands on either side of the egg so it can’t roll about.

Step 2. Using two hands hold the tights at either end, leaving several centimetres between your hands and the egg.

Step 3. Move both hands in small circles, spinning the egg in front of you . Continue until your arms get tired (or for about four to five minutes)

Step 4. Ask a grown up to boil the egg for around 14 minutes – then peel and marvel at your completely yellow egg.

WHAT IF? What happens if you only boil the egg for four minutes? Can you find another way to mix the yolk and white together to achieve the same effect?

Matilda - This book tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a gifted girl forced to put up with a crueland distant mother and father. Worse, Agatha Trunchbull the evil Head Teacher at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power oftelekinesis ( she can move things with her mind) she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fight back against her unkind parents.

- Re – write the story of Matilda in a comic strip and give her a new superpower.- How will she use it to defeat the Trunchbull?- You could draw a picture of Matilda using her new power- Maybe she has to say special words to make her power work. What could they be?

Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryAs you know, Willy Wonka makes the most scrumdididdlumptious, fandabuloso chocolate products that the world has ever seen.

So I want you to help him branch out into the drinks market and make the most fizzy-whizzy, super-duper drink that the world has ever seen.Think about:

- The bubble making surprise- What will be your secret ingredient? Levitating lemons juice? Fizzy whizzy blueberry? Tropical fruit explosion?

- make an advert promoting your new drink across the tv and online- Could you come up for a jingle or a slogan?- Can you try and make it at home?

OR you could do the same but invent a new chocolate bar or sweet – think about what makes it different for all the other sweets we have. What will it look like and taste of?
