Spring Term 1

Spring Term 1 (2a)

Week 5

CSI Science days

We really enjoyed finding out who stole the beautiful painting from school on our CSI Science days.

Year 5 were given the task to identify white powder found at the scene.

The white powders that we found in school were:

Salt
Sugar
Corn Flour
Baking Soda

Therefore, we had to do lots of different tests to find out properties of the powders that were in school at the time of the crime.

We investigated the following:

Appearance
Smell
Texture
Reaction to water
Reaction to Iodine
Reaction to vinegar

After we found out the above properties of each powder, we tested the powder found at the scene.

When we added Iodine to the powder, it turned black. We then knew the powder had to be Corn Flour as we found out Corn Flour turns black when Iodine is added (the starch reacts with the Iodine).

Mystery Solved!

Ancient Greek Day

We really enjoyed our Ancient Greek Day!

In the morning, we learned how to write like an ancient Greek and we learned about their numeral system. We also learned all about the famous Battle of Troy!

We worked in small groups to make a Greek dip called Tzatziki.

In the afternoon, we tasted and evulated different Greek foods.

We tasted and evaluated:

Tzatziki (homemade by us)
Hummus
Olives
Feta Cheese
Pitta Bread

We learned about the three different democratic systems; the Ekklesia, the Boule and the Dikasteria.

We also learned about who could and couldn't vote during this democracy in Ancient Greek times.

We interviewed different people who lived in Athens at the time about why they could or couldn't vote.
