MUSIC - Xylophone lesson

 Today, Year 5 revisited the ‘Good, Better, Best’ song we learnt last week. We spent a bit of time practicing the rest points and understanding what the rest symbols mean and look like. 

We then moved on to learn a tune called ‘Portsmouth’ which had a nautical feeling and rhythm to it. We practiced first by clapping and counting the rhythm until we felt confident - when we were ready, we put the tune in. 

Here is a video - we hope you enjoy!

Isle of Wight Library Service

 Adam from the Isle of Wight library service came in to introduce the summer reading scheme to the children. The children will need to sign up for the scheme:gadgeteers. There are stickers, games and a gift each time you visit. Each child must read 6 books over the summer.  Once the children have visited three times they will be given a certificate and a medal. All the library asks is that the children write a review of one of the books they have read by 17th September. These reviews will be read by the staff at the libraries and put into a prize draw for the children to win book tokens. 😊 If you have any queries, please contact Cowes library on 01983 293341 or visit the Supporters of Cowes Library on Facebook.

WORKSHOP - The Ridiculous Rhyme Show

 Today, UKS2 were treated to a fabulous workshop by Joe and Andy who were CBeebies The Rhyme Rocket. They talked us through all the different jobs involved in filming a TV show. To help, we had our own teams of filming crew, sound crew, hair & make-up, lighting, stage hand, director and producer as well as a team of actors. The rest of the children became the Studio Audience and practiced laughing, gasping, and clapping.  The cast came in and performed a small play (we have some fabulous budding actors at Gurnard!).  There was a great question and answer session too. The children were brilliant and responded with enthusiasm and respect. This was a great opportunity to find out about life in a TV studio and to have something to aspire to.  They then got a small snippet of the Rhyme show first hand.
