The past few weeks studying types of volcanoes, volcanologists, tectonic plates, seisometers and the structure of the Earth came to a head this week as year 5 produced these fabulous information sheets all about volcanoes!
As tempting as it was to construct our own volcanoes and create eruptive chemical reactions in science… we instead continued looking at the chemistry of solutions; investigating the solubility of different solvents and experimenting with separating soluble substances.
We began looking at tenths of a whole in terms of decimal representation this week. You can find our maths sheets here:
