Christmas holiday homework

In the new year we will be starting our new topic 'Alchemy Island'. In order to engage the children in this topic and get them excited for the activities we will be doing the holiday's homework is based on this topic.  

Look at the map below, this is a map of 'Alchemy Island' showing its four kingdoms as well as some key places we will be visiting.  Can you collect any recycling you think will be suitable to help us build this mysterious kingdom? Think carefully about what each item of recycling can be used for, eg; empty toilet rolls for the turrets of 'Dragon Vine Towers'.

This topic leads us down an avenue of scientific investigations and discoveries relating to alchemy, changing materials and physical processes.  As well as recycling collection, year 5 should make a list of foods and drinks they are eating and note down whether they change from solids/liquids/gases when they are cooked or cooled, eg; eggs turn from liquid to a solid
