Do you suffer from a grumpy Gorgon?  Are you bothered by their mood swings and bad temper?  Do the interfering snakes cause a nuisance? If so, most scientists recommend the activation of the ‘Medusa Pleaser’ machine and soon, your gorgon will become the most jovial creature in the land!

Welcome to Year 5’s new model text, The Medusa Pleaser! It’s a full-packed explanation text on how the Medusa Pleaser works and turns your Gorgon from a Grump into a pleasure to be around! Have a watch and see how well we are learning our new text!

We have looked closesly at the use of causal signposts in the explanation to clearly explain what happens in the Medusa Pleaser as a result of something else. Inspired, we have written some of our own explanations based on When I met Dudley shwcasing our won use of causal signposts. Have a look and see, it is trickier than it seems!

Here also is a sneak peek of some of our Expressionism exploration, ready for Arts Week. Look at our use of eyebrows, mouths and facial expresisons to showcase emotions! Great skills Year 5, well done!
