Katie and Verse

PCR Katie & Verse

Dear Listeners,

The 6th chapter in the Katie series the 'Witch Who Lost her spells' is one that shows how important it is for Katie not to loose her spell book, from which she learns the magic art of how to become a witch at school and home.

The spell book that Katie writes in is one of 'verse spells', she has created. When it goes missing, the play Romeo & Juliet, written by Shakespeare,Katie watches at school, she understands that someone is playing tricks with her verse, for the characters speak the lines in verse out of turn.

'Witch is the Witch that Wishes the Wicked Wish' Katie re calls as she searches for the spell book thief. It is important for Katie that her spells don't get into the wrong hands, for only a true witch should use these powers and only for good, as we find out in later chapters. Katie without her spell book has to learn to be a bit ordinary to find out who it is; also part of her learning curve. Mrs Hepworth recounts of the Witch trials in Salem when Witch's were prosecuted and burnt at the stake if they weren't seen to be doing good. Interestingly, The Witch hunts in England happened in the Sixteenth century around the time Shakespeare wrote his verse plays.

There will be more Katie Ordinary Witch series to come, in the mean time,
If you have written or learnt any verde at school,why not jot them down and make a verse book of your own. Just make sure you keep it in sight....

Bye Bye
