Congratulations to Tom in Poplar class for being awarded Star Writer for his Instruction Text on ‘How to re-pot a Mandrake’. We took our inspiration from the Harry Potter books and films. Tom achieved his objective by ensuring he included all the S2S – sub-headings, written in the present tense and in the 2nd person. As you can read, it isn’t easy to re-pot a Mandrake and if attempted, it’s advised to follow the instructions very carefully… especially the bit about wearing ear-muffs!
