Hi everyone, 

Thanks again for your incredible efforts with the Biography homework. I tried to take as much time as I could in praising each child. Their efforts did not go unnoticed (but I also hope you enjoyed watching them put the effort in too).

The next piece of homework is attached to this post, but is linked to our learning in Science on States of Matter and our Weather topic. 

Our planet is heating up, and it is causing solids to turn into liquids in places they shouldn't! Your mission is to report on an extreme weather event where a "Phase Change" (melting) has impacted a local community.

Your Task:

1. Research: Find a story about melting glaciers, melting permafrost (frozen ground), or even melting roads/rails during a heatwave.
2. Write/Record: Create a short news report. You can write it as an article or record it as a video on a phone/tablet.
3. Use Science: You must explain what is happening to the particles as they gain thermal energy.

I really hope you enjoy this one. 

All apps have been updated, and spellings for next Friday's test have been added to our Google Classroom presentation.
