Investigating Materials
22 November 2018
Over the last few weeks, we have been investigating changes in materials. We have looked at the process of dissolving by investigating which solids dissolve in water to form a solution. This week, we have looked at the process of melting to identify reversible and irreversible changes. We used tealights to heat different types of food to see what change occurred. From our investigations, we have developed our ability to make predictions as well as detailed observations of what we have seen occur.

Water Cycles
8 October 2018
As part of our topic this term, we have been learning about the United Kingdom. This has included investigating rivers and how they are formed. Before we began looking at different rivers in the UK, we revised the process of the water cycle by creating our own. Over the next few days, we are going to observe our water cycles carefully to watch the process of evaporation happen.

Year 5 Dissecting Flowers
9 May 2018
This term, we have been learning about plants in Science. Today, we looked at the parts of a flower and what their functions are by dissecting lilies and daffodils. Some of us began to compare the parts of different flowers, discussing their similarities and differences.
