Farewell Message to Year 5!
As we come to the end of the summer term, next week is the last week of Year 5 for you all. It feels strange that we're not in school to say goodbye to each other. When we began Year 5, way back in September 2019, not one of us expected that this is how it would end. I have enjoyed every moment teaching you all, you've kept me busy and it has been fun! I hope you feel the same and that you will take what you have learned this year and build on it as you continue into Year 6! Each one of you has a bright future ahead of you! Thank you for everything!
With love
Miss Edokpayi

For the next half term in Year 5 we will be looking at ‘Animals including humans’. Worksheets without explanation are often a lot harder to get on with, therefore for Science it is much easier for you if a task has been set and you can get on with this, using the internet to help or resources you have at home. If you have any struggles or questions, please get in touch. All activities have been tailored to be able to be completed from your house, however if this is not possible, don’t worry – just do what you can!
These activities are to last the next 6 weeks so please do not feel like you need to do all of these at once:
Enjoy! Please share with us any activities you are able to do!

Home learning packs
This half term in Year 5 we have been looking at ‘Changes in materials’. Below are a list of experiments and activities that you could do with your child at home to continue their learning. These do not need to be bought in or be expensive, they have been created to be used with everyday objects that can be found around the house. You do not need to do them all, a selection has been included for you to decide which ones you would like to do. If possible, take photos and upload these onto our Facebook/Twitter Page so we can see what you got up to! A good way to record and send us some evidence would be to write a recount of what happened, a set of instructions or creating a table so others can carry out the same experiment.
· Gathering a range of materials and seeing which are soluble,
· How long does an ice cube take to melt in different conditions?,
· Help to cook a meal – What does the food look like to begin with, what does it look like during and what does it look like after? What changed?
· Is it possible to mix two liquids together and then separate them again?
· Investigating hardness – find 5 objects from the house and create a table on their strength.
Enjoy! Please share with us any experiments you are able to do!
