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.

Spring 2:

During English this term we have been looking at traditional tales such as Goldilocks and the three bears. We have looked at the beginning, middle and end of each story and even attempted to create our own silly ending to these traditional tales. 

In math's we have looked at length and mass. For length we have used rulers and tape measures and began comparing sizes and ordering them. For mass we have used balance scales to find out what objects in our classroom are heavy and light, and they looked at comparing weight to how many cubs or grams each object is. 

For science we have been testing different materials; by looking at which material is best for a new bum (based on the story ‘I need a new bum’). The children have enjoyed checking the materials for absorbency, waterproofness, flexibility, and transparency.  

In topic this term we have loved exploring ancient Egyptians learning about Egyptian life mummification, pyramids and hieroglyphics. We have even used clay to create our very own Canopic jars. 

Summer 1:

Next half term we begin our weekly swimming lessons on a Friday morning. Any parent volunteers will be greatly appreciated. This term we will also be exploring Anglo Saxons and plants  

Reminders:

• Please ensure your child has a spare change of clothes in their bags.
• PE is on Wednesdays and Fridays -  please send PE kits in to stay in school for the half term.
• Library books will be changed every week, please ensure they are in your child’s bag.
• Please send reading books and reading records back in every day. We try to ensure reading books are changed once a week.
• Please label ALL of your child’s belongings.
