We started by listening to Miss Walters read us some of Harry Potter and the Philosophers' Stone. Then we drew pictures of Harry Potter and we labeled them with key words. Some our key words were scar, Voldemort, Hogwarts, Hedwig, wizard and Chosen One. We chose these words because they were important words in the books.
After we drew the pictures we took a Harry Potter quiz to see which Hogwarts house we would fit in. We were sorted into Ravenclaw! That meant that we were really clever, because that is what they are known for.

then looked at facts about J K Rowling. She's 50 years old, has three children and lives in Scotland. She is the author of Harry Potter and she started writing with a napkin and a pen in a cafe.. She was born in 1965 and her first book was published in 1997. J K Rowling had decided to give Harry Potter the same birthday as her, which is the 31st of July. She wrote 7 Harry Potter books and they've been so popular that they have been turned into movies.
After our research we made Harry Potter models of the symbols in the books. We made a wand, a sorting hat, a broomstick, his glasses, his scar and his owl, Hedwig. We made them out of Jovi clay and we had to squash the clay to make it softer. We used techniques like rolling the clay into a sausage, blending the joins, pinching it and bending the clay.
