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 Lauren. Our ISAs are Sam and Zoe.

Spring 1:

In English, we have been reading the stories: ‘Make way for the ducklings’, ‘Where the wild things are’, and ‘it’s a book’. We have recalled the stories in various ways; including creating our own story map of the events of the story.  We have been learning to create sentences and focus on our writing skills. We have all worked very hard in phonics and as well as reading skills – we have also looked at how we use our sounds in our spelling. 

This term, In Maths, we have focused on numbers. This has included addition and subtraction and using various objects and tools to support us when required. We have looked at addition facts and writing our own fact families. We have enjoyed number bonds to various numbers.  

Our Topic ‘USA’ - was very exciting. We enjoyed creating our own passports to hop on a plane to The USA and learn all about the Native American culture. We have used lots of colour to create some beautiful Pop Art paintings and sculptures. 

In music, we have been focusing on beat and rhythm and the use of different instruments to create music. 

In science, we have explored various American habitats and the animals that live in the. We have explored and sequenced the life cycles of animals including: frogs, reptiles, birds and amphibians. 

On Fridays, we are enjoying Forest school.
