Peasants, Princes and Pestilence
Flee your fields, close your doors and pull up the drawbridge. The dreaded and deadly Great Pestilence is here. Mount your steed and gallop through the dark and deadly world of 14th century Britain, sword and shield at the ready, pledging your allegiance to king and country.
Properties and Changes of Materials
This term we will be comparing and grouping together everyday materials on the basis of their properties. We will also be learning that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution.
