The buried newspaper and books!

Today and yesterday we

were excavating some things

 e.g carrots, apples, newspapers, books

and much more.

I am going to tell you about what happened

to the newspapers and books in

dry soil ,wet soil, wet sand and also the wet soil.

In the wet sand the newspaper was very

sandy and it was very soggy too.

Somebody picked out the newspaper and they

said it was very heavy to.

Actually, I thought it was  going to rip!

The wet soil made the  book soak through.

When somebody held

it, it flung open and all the soil fell out.

It was very heavy too.

Also,when I opened it it ripped apart!

We look forward to seeing you later!!!

Excavating fruit toys books newspaper.

Well year five today we were excavating things that we buried 7 to 6 weeks ago.
And some things like carrots apple books and newspapers.
The sand was the first one to take out from and I took out an apple from the tray and it was amazing put when I touched the apple inside and it looked nothing like an apple you will buy from the groceries. And when we got up to the the wet sand we had to were gloves that doctors would were.
And I couldn't get something out of the wet sand because I had 2 turns.

The apple that decomposed

In November class 5 buried some items because we were learning about the Indus Valley civilisation and we decided to bury some things to see what would happen to them and you wouldn't believe it! The apple rotted away!
Here are some of the items we buried:

1)apple

3)newspaper
4)plastic toy
5)book

All the things in the soil and sand.

The wet soil was really hard to excavate and we found the carrot inside the carrot had grown roots. The carrot had absorbed the water in the container when it was outside. the dry soil had the apple in and many things but the apple was rotten inside the container which was stored inside. The wet sand had a plastic spoon in and it had gone much softer. The dry sand had an apple inside and a spoon the spoon was still the same but the apple was actually coming apart. That’s what amazing things we found. Here are some pictures.

The decomposing Apple

Hello everyone.  Today I have seen an amazing thing! Well its not that amazing but it is a bit amazing. Today I have picked something out of the sand that we put into a tray . I picked a wonderful Apple out. It wasnt that wonderful because it had decomposed and I accidently put my finger in it and I got scared because it was something very DISGUSTING. I made everyone laugh! The next day I picked a toy out and it was not digusting in fact it was the same as before. Please see the photos that our class took bye from Saira

BRICKS

Unlike our modern bricks, the bricks that the Indus used were made by mixed soil with water and then they squashed the mud into a wooden mould and you turn it upside down like a sand castle and then they have to dry at a hot temperature. click here viewers

Indus valley ...

Last week class five buried some items such as:

Books, newspapers, carrots, apples, toys, metal-spoons, plastic-forks and (hard) clay. It was really fun! We buried them so that we can find out what will happen to them if we leave them for a few weeks. Like people from the past buried things. Some scientists have found skeletons from the past!

You can check this website here called:

Year Six Blog Coming Soon...

Mr Aspinall and I have just been figuring out how to set up the Year Six blog.  Watch out for more news soon...

Festivals Week

This week in Year Five we have had a fantastic time  learning about the Muslim festival, Eid, which happens twice a year. We have been especially excited as one of the Eids, Eid-ul-Adha, is happening this coming Sunday.

On Tuesday morning we had a visit from Robina Akram who talked to us about Eid and helped us to make prayer mats.

One of the most important things about Eid-ul-adha for Muslims is giving to charity, and we decided that we wanted to try to help children in Pakistan who have lost their families and homes in the floods that have happened there in the last two years.

We worked in pairs to create and deliver powerpoint presentations to persuade people to sponsor us to read at home, which is how we hope to raise money in the next few weeks. Please sponsor us and help us to raise as much money as possible!

We have also been working in pairs on the laptops to write Eid poems this week. Some of us have written acrostic poems, some of us have written poems full of similes, and some of us have written poems using interesting rhymes and rhythms. One poem with a really steady rhythm was written by Aisha and Salma, and we had a go at using percussion instruments to turn it into a kind of Eid rap. We really enjoyed performing it in front of everybody in Friday's Festivals Week Assembly.

On Friday we ended our week of special activities with a party. Many of us wore our smartest clothes for school. This is what Muslims do on Eid, to go to mosque and get together with their family and friends to share food.

Thank you very much indeed to all the parents who brought in such delicious food for us to enjoy.What a feast!

We hope you have a happy, safe Bonfire Night this weekend, and a very happy Eid celebration.

Eid Mubarak!

Eid Mubarak
