Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Science ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0197.jpeg) 8 September 2025 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0197.jpeg) We studied the difference between reversible and irreversible changes. The children explored how melting ice into a liquid can be reversed by freezing it back into a solid. In contrast, the class found that cooking produces something new which cannot be reversed. Then we explored the behaviour of particles in materials as they change states and dissolve in liquids.
