Science
Properties and changes of materials:
- Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets
- Understand that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution and describe how to recover a substance from a solution
- Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating
- Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic
- Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes
- Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate soda
Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels, classifications keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs.
English
In English we are focusing on the text:
The Highway Man, The Explorer and The Children of the Mines
We will be focusing on poetry, descriptive writing, the structure of diary entries and descriptive writing.
We will begin by looking at 'The Highway Man', this is a Narrative, dramatic poem. As a class we will look at how the writer uses clues and imagery to convey the meaning of the Poem. We will also explore how writers use language for dramatic effect.
During the last part of this term we will look at the impact mining has had on Annesley and it's community.
