Persuasive letter

I bet you didn't know this, but I am actually the one person in the country who controlls when Year 5's will be going back to school.

I would like you to write me a letter, convincing me to allow Year 5's back in school from next week.

• Start your letter by stating why you're writing it. E.g I am writing to persuade you to let us go back to school.
• Think about all the reasons going back to school would be good for you, teachers, and parents.
• Organise your arguments into paragraphs, using words like firstly, secondly, finally.

Here is a helpful video. It's actually meant for secondary school children, so it's a little tricky, but it may still give you some good ideas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zv7fqp3/articles/zr8cmfr

Challenge: Can you use any of your spellings from this week in the letter?

Thursday

Science task:

Last week, you investigated which substances are soluble and insoluble.

This week, I'd like you to investigate how to seperate a mixture of water and soluble and insoluble sustances.

Watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjty4wx/articles/zrgj2sg

Make a mixture of water, salt, and rice or flour. Then, seperate the mixture.

Is there an order you need to do this in?

Why can't the salt be filtered out?

Tip: Kitchen roll can be used as filter paper.

Make sure you work with an adult if you are evaporating your mixture!
