Excitement in Year 5

A helicopter landed in on the church field.

Right outside the classroom!

DT - making Christmas gift boxes to carry our homemade (schoolmade) fudge.

Reversible Change - observing what happened when saturated salt solution was left overnight on our snowflakes.

Using a syringe.

We dripped saturated salt solution...

...onto our snowflakes.

We then left them overnight.

Water evaporated leaving salt crystals behind.

Observing what happens to different materials when added to hot water.

First, we added salt. It dissolved in the water.

Next, we added sugar. It also dissolved.

Baking powder created a chemical reaction.

Oxo cubes turned the water brown.

Sand sunk to the bottom

Pouring more and more salt into the solution.

The saturated salt solution.

Listening to the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green Parties' Manifestos.

Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Parties manifestos.

Party representatives answering questions.

KS2 will choose a party and vote tomorrow.

Science - Making Christmas White Chocolate Fudge - an example of an irreversible change.

Weighing out the white chocolate chips.

Measuring out the unsalted butter.

Opening the can of sweetened condensed milk.

First, we melted the butter.

Next, we began to add the chocolate chips.

Keep stirring so the chocolate doesn't burn.

Adding the can of condensed milk.

This stiffens the mixture.

The mixture begins to change texture.

Voila, we have fudge.

Now, add some Christmassy sprinkles.

Then pour the fudge into the lined tine.

Give it a good shake so that it's level.

Decorate the top. Ta da!!!

Using our melting points data to create line graphs and questions.

Finding the melting point of different materials in science.

2019 Remembrance Day artwork - sketching, working with charcoal and making 3D models.

Enjoying Cloud Busting outside during Black History Month.

Eyes closed, immersing ourselves in the couds.

I can see a dragon.

I can see a dog.

Using our imaginations to find shapes and pictures

That looks like a bird diving down.

Returnng from the half term holiday with their Anglo-Saxon houses.

Year 5 enjoying their weekly flute lesson.

Searching for Anglo-Saxon treasure in Year 5.

Searching for artefacts found at Sutton Hoo, 1939.

We found a sword, a sceptre and a helmet.

We found some silver bowls, spoons and gold coins.

Now to create some burial mounds.

We needed three in total.

A king, a soldier and a missionary.

Which grave should I put the sceptre in?

Who would the coins and ingots belong to?

What about the bronze and gold helmet?

We thought the grave could be either a king.

Or a very successful warrior.

But not really a missionary.

Using natural products to dye materials just like the Anglo-Saxons

Boiling red cabbage to create a dye.

Out it comes.

It was a deep blue colour.

Now, the turn of the spinach leaves.

What colour dye do you think this will produce?

A yellowy, freen colour.

This is turmeric powder made from tubers.

I wonder what colour dye onion skins will produce?

Heatng it up.

Giving it a good stir.

It mad an orange dye.

Onion skin dye.

Four of the five dyes we made today.

Spinach,beetroot,onion skin,red cabbage,turmeric

Time to immerse the wool into the dye.

I wonder what will happen?

5 colours to choose from.

The wool began to take on the colour of the dye.

Now, which one shall I choose?

This looks like spaghetti worms!

This looks like pot noodle!

Our wool laid out to dry overnight

Pink from the beetroot.

Light orange from the onion skins.

Light blue from the red cabbage.

Yellow from the turmeric powder.
