Year 5 Autumn Term
Please scroll down to see an overview of each Learning Adventure:
In the Autumn Term, Year 5 begin the year by exploring ‘What Makes a Hero?’, starting off with discussing various heroes and villains around the world.
We explored various classic tales, discussed who is the real hero in each and wrote our own foundling tale featuring our very own hero!
We then researched our own personal hero, someone who has inspired us to change our life in some way.
In groups, we then worked towards our final outcome – ‘The Pride of All Saints’ Awards ceremony!
Our Roy Lichtenstein inspired art.
After half term, we travelled back in time to explore what life was like in Fleet during the Victorian Era. We began with our own Victorian School - don’t make a sound, otherwise the teachers will be ready with the cane!
With our new driving question, ‘What would my life have been like 150 years ago?’, we explored differences in childhoods in the Victorian times and modern day, including a school trip to Milestones Museum.
Using the text ‘Street Child’, we are introduced to Jim Jarvis, a child in London who has been forced to the workhouse!
