Science
Year 5 this term have been looking at solids, liquids and gases, investigating how they can change their state with different processes. As we progress through our science work we will be focusing on the water cycle. Pupils are to design their own 3D model of the water cycle as part of their project work. There are lots of examples on the internet and YouTube, showing you how to do this. The models should not be over 30cm x 30cm in size. 

Pupils are able to present the water cycle through a detailed powerpoint presentation.

English
Pupils are to complete a movie trailer for the story ‘This isn’t a fairytale’. 
iMovie is a great app for completing this task and provide them with step by step support when adding music, pictures, videos and text. The trailer is to be no longer than 30 seconds! Pupils are to present themselves in the trailer as Luke and reflect on his adventure! I look forward to watching the trailers. 
 

I hope you all have a very relaxing half term!
