In Science, Year 5 used their knowledge of materials and their properties to try and sort a number of different items. We used magnets, sieves and tweezers to remove some of the items. We also discussed the use of dissolving to help to separate the salt that was in the mixture. 

As part of National Story telling week, we enjoyed writing our own stories based on the book The Journey. It was great fun sharing these with year 2.   

In Literacy, we have started a new unit based on non-chronological reports. We started off by looking at the layout and structure of the texts. Then, we enjoyed watching a documentary about emperor penguins. We found out lots of fascinating facts, and we are now using these to write our non-chronological reports.
