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
During this week, the children continued to increase their knowledge about decimals. This included rounding to the nearest whole and tenth. I have been amazed at how efficient the children are at converting decimals to fractions as well as writing the numbers correctly when a number is dictated to them. Towards the end of the week, the children have started to find add and subtract decimals using their place value knowledge.
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.
