Adventurer 5

Overview of class

Welcome to Adventurer 5. We are an upper key stage 2 class. Our teacher is Julia. Our Teaching assistant is Sophie. Our ISAs are Sam and Zoe.

Summer 1:

During English this term we have been looking at interviews. We looked at the book ‘interview with a tiger’ . We then made up our own questions for us to interview an animal of our choice, the children enjoyed this and then enjoyed researching to find the correct answers. Next term we will be looking at poems and rhyming words.

In maths, this term we have looked at fractions and time. We have looked at halving and quartering an amount and an object. We have also been looking at telling the time on the hour and half past as well as our daily routines. In Summer 2 we are looking at gathering data and how we can present data such as a tally chart and pictogram.

For topic this half term we have looked at Anglo-Saxons we looked at where they came from, how they lived and what jobs they did, how they built their homes and the justice system. The children have enjoyed taking part in this tropic and all the practicals such as recreating the battle of hastings, making butter and bread and recreating punishments. Next term we will be looking at natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami, and many more.

Our science topic this term was plants. We had a go at growing our own plants and learning what a plant needs to grow, we enjoyed looking after our plants and then took them to the allotment to plant. The children have enjoyed looking at the different part of a plant and seeing how pollination works.
