5W have been keeping up the great work this week! We have taken part in some more Science experiments. This week we delved into exploring what happens to different solutes when mixed with water. We found that some solutes such as sugar dissolved whereas others like pepper and gravy granules had a different effect on the water. The children learnt a lot about scientific vocabulary and had a fantastic time reflecting on what they learnt.
6B have been super scientists throughout the whole of case study one. The scientific vocabulary they have been using during their experiments has been amazing! In this session, the children were testing materials to see if they were soluble or insoluble. We saw some awesome predictions before the experiment and some great reflections after the experiment! I am really proud of you 6B! Well done!

On Friday 14th May, we will be celebrating Pyjamarama Day in school. Children are invited to come to school in their pyjamas for a suggested donation of £1. The aim of the day is to raise awareness of the importance of a bedtime story for all children. Donations will go to the National Book Trust, who use the money to help all children have a story in their homes to read. Children will be participating in some fun activities in school on this day, all linked to reading for pleasure.
This morning, we have worked collaboratively to find out the meaning of unknown words from our key text: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Today we have been scientists again and have been making predictions about which substances we thought would dissolve in cold water. We were impressed with how accurate we were in our predictions and decided that in order for some of the solutes dissolve properly, hot water would be needed as a solvent instead of cold.
A special shout out to Adam who challenged himself to ensure inclusion of the scientific terminology he was introduced to today within his writing. What a star!

Lilly has been working so hard with Mrs T on her reading recently that she has succeeded in hitting her target! Well done Lilly, we are so proud of you and looking at the smile on your face, I can see how proud you are of yourself too!

Today in Crew Chapman, we have been testing materials to see if they are soluable or insoluable. We were surprised to find out that pepper does not dissolve. I’ve seen great collaborative work and discussions today. Well done Crew Chapman.

Well done to Kai in 6H and Coby in 6B for being awesome this week! You have both been amazing in class and have been a pleasure to teach! Coby your writing has been beautiful and I am so, so proud of you! Kai you have just been all around fabulous so well done to you too! Keep it up boys!

Year 5 and 6 have been investigating how change of state can make things move. For this the staff used water that was heated to create steam, this steam then moved the pin wheel toy. We also discussed how the steam could then be condensed so the water could be reused.#LovePlover
