WORKSHOP - The Ridiculous Rhyme Show

Image
 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.

Geography - Organic or Non-Organic

To support their learning they watched a short clip to identify the strict guidelines that must be met for foods to be classed as organic.  The children then carried out a taste test. Here, they tried 2 types of chocolate and 2 types of bananas. The children the food and needed to decide which was organic and which wasn’t . Mrs Gregory then told the children the price of each item and the children were shocked as to the cost of organic food.

ENGLISH - To write a character description

Image
 Today, Year 5 had an opportunity to write a character description of the old man in The Tin Forest. We don’t know much about him yet, but we’ve tried to work out how he might be feeling and how he does things just by four different pictures of him. We have also looked at his appearance, his clothes and tried to guess more details about him.  Our biggest challenge was using a range of different sentence starts with the help of DADWAVERS (description, action, dialogue, where, adverbs, verbs, estimation of time, rhetorical questions and similes).   We then had a few minutes at the end to edit and make sure we have a range of openers, punctuation and vocabulary.
