Ancient Greek Tiles

Today, we began making our Ancient Greek clay tiles. We had to use our carving skills for our designs. See what you think of them so far.

Salt and Vinegar!

We mixed together salt and vinegar and made predictions about what would happen if we placed a coin into the solution. As vinegar is acidic we thought it would fizz. We found a reaction happened and the coins appeared to change colour. 

York Mosque

Today Year 5 and 6 were lucky enough to have a visitor from York Mosque. We had lots of interesting questions to ask and learnt lots of new information.

Are insects attracted to a certain colour?

Today we planned an investigation in Science.We wanted to find out whether insects were attracted to a particular colour. In groups we created our own coloured petals and decided on what variables we had to consider. We then went out to the Peace Garden to carry out our investigation.

Greek Democracy

As our topic this term is Ancient Greeks, we have been learning about what it was like to live then. This week we have been learning about Ancient Greek Democracy. We talked about Democracy in the UK and how important decisions are made. We then compared this with what it would be like in Ancient Greece. Did you know if you were a female you weren't allowed to vote? If you also weren't an Athenian you couldn't vote either. How unfair is that!

We had ago at sorting out who could vote and who couldn't.
