On the 23rd April, Year 5 went to the Regional Science Centre to take part in a mixing and dissolving investigation. We had to separate a mixture of rock salt and sand. We did this by filtering and by evaporating the salt solution using a Bunsen burner.
We are looking forward to the next few sessions with Miss Judge.

This half term we are focusing on the Ancient Greeks and we are reading the book ‘Who let the Gods Out?’ by Maz Evans. As part of our English work, we are going to be writing our own legend story, as we have been studying the Legend of the Trojan Horse.
I would love to hear who you believe is a legendary person. This person could be alive or be somebody that has passed away.
Who are you going to choose? Why?

In assembly on Thursday 9th November 2017, we did a World War 2 dance. Our favourite part was the Anderson Shelters part when everyone got into the shapes of an Anderson Shelter. We learnt it in P.E with Miss Rigg and everyone really enjoyed it.

at home Gabby did some research on the internet about Ancient Mayans she found out that they made up tattoos and had lots of symbols. She copied some of the symbols and made a poster. She also wrote 10 facts.
In Castleshaw we had lots of fun and everyone really enjoyed it. First we went into the classroom and discussed animals and habitats. We looked at some stuffed animals, including a badger, mole. Rabbit and heron! After this we explored the valley. We had fishing nets and tried to find some water creatures. We had a key to identify different things we found. We found all sorts of river dwellers, including sticklebacks (fish) and shrimp. We finished the day off with some team games, where we had to work together to reach some targets. What a fantastic day!
