Forgive me for not pressing publish yesterday! Another tremendous effort from everyone in Hawks class this week. You are all continuing to impress with your fantastic attitude towards your learning. Highlights from this week are definitely the triple jump in PE and all of the fantastic writing that you have produced. Following on from this writing, we are going to be publishing a book of all of your wonderful descriptions of 'Kaupang'. In order to do this, we will need some 'ancient' paper. Could you all please age 3 pieces of A4 paper (preferably lined - to make your writing on it easier) using the tea bag and burning method. In addition to this, there is some work on Education City. Your spellings can be found below and will tested each Friday. Please also make sure that you are reading with an adult and accessing TT Rockstars as regularly as you can.

A slightly different homework this week... A science experiment using household items to explore diffusion and osmosis.
For the diffusion experiment - fill a glass with water and add some cordial. Notice how the particles of cordial that highly concentrated spread out into the water (which has lower cordial concentration).
For the osmosis experiment - place a jelly sweet (gummy bear etc.) into a shallow cup of water and see how the water enters the sweet even though it has a 'membrane' around it.
Remember... To take this to another level - consider completing it with hot vs. cold water and timing things. Oh and don't forget to send photographs/videos of your efforts! We'll be looking at this in more depth next week!
The remainder of your homework can be found on Education City and should be completed by next Thursday. Your spellings are the same as last week because we didn't test them this week - we will do so on Monday. Please also make sure that you are reading with an adult and accessing TT Rockstars as regularly as you can.
