Year 5 Blog 2024/25

 What an exciting lesson learning about our community and how communities are important to Muslims.  First, the children identified their own community and then they wrote a definition.  Then, they watched a short clip to see how Muslims live by the Pillars of Islam and how community is very important to them.    We then tried to write our name in Arabic - thank you Hana for your help. 

 Year 5 children went to Medina Theatre today to learn how different composers came up with the ideas for their sounds. It was a very, very, very hot experience. There was a 6 piece orchestra with a conductor who showed the children how to make their own pieces of music using different instruments. Throughout the show, the children were drip fed a song about chocolate cake and at the end of the session, they all sang the song with the orchestra accompanying them. 

 Year 5 practised pronouncing  planet names and saying simple descriptive sentences. They also matched pictures of planets with given descriptions with their partners. They were introduced to the  vocabulary - far from and near to, which they then used in sentences. 

 This week, the children took part in assessment week. They all worked hard, sowers true resilience and we could not be any more proud of them. Well done everyone. 

 Well done to everybody who took part in sports day today. Everybody put in lots of effort and resilience, especially in the running races. I was really impressed with our year five children who acted as at true team. They supported each other when things didn’t go as well as they expected. True Gurnard spirit.  U
