Sport's Day and Creative Clay Modelling

Another wonderful week has come to an end. On Wednesday, it was Sport's Day. Everyone did such a fantastic job in the sprints, egg and spoon, sack and relay races. Well done! You all showed superb sportsmanship and we enjoyed cheering on the whole school. 

We have continued our enquiry 'Does Polperro Always Stay the Same?' by exploring photographic evidence to see what Polperro was like in the past and comparing this to the Polperro we know today. The children were surprised by the differences and were able to recognise the harbour and old pilchard warehouse. In Science, we looked at rocks and grouped these based on their appearance and in Art we experimented with different techniques to model clay; by practising flattening, cutting and using tools to add detail. We will build on this to eventually make our own clay pilchards.

In English, we have been writing our own poetry and creating performances with our peers. We have worked hard on demonstrating our understanding of rhythm, rhyme and repetition. 

Maths has been focussed on Time, which can often be a challenge. However, all the children have persevered with reading the time and are enjoying applying their knowledge throughout the school day. 

Congratulations to Alfie and Amber for being chosen as Landaviddy's People of the Week and a big well done to Iylah for achieving her 66 club badge.  

We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you next week.

Another week has gone by already! 

On Tuesday, we performed at the Polperro festival. The children were fantastic and did so well during our performance. Well done! You are all SUPERSTARS!

This week has been the Bridge School Games, so we have been very active exploring different Wimbledon inspired activities. We have also been practising for Sports Day, which we can’t wait for!

In English, we have been enjoying performance poetry and loved performing Michael Rosen’s ‘The Rhythm of Life’. We collaborated to write our own versions too, influenced by nature, the sea, even school! We will finish writing these next week and creating a short performance for our peers. 

Congratulations to Amelia and Lowen J for being chosen as Landaviddy’s People of the Week.

Please ensure you bring in your PE and swimming kits next week. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

We have had another jam packed week in Landaviddy class.

Practise for the Polperro Festival has been well underway! We can't wait to share with you all our hard work. We finished off our previous enquiry with Geography, where we looked at the different tools meteorologists use to collect weather data. Can you recall what we would use to determine wind direction or rainfall? We have started a new enquiry - 'Does Polperro Always Stay the Same?', which we were already very enthusiastic about. 

In Maths, Year 3 have been working on Money, adding and subtracting pounds and pence, ready for their final lesson next week looking at finding change. Year 2 have continued work on fractions, exploring the equivalence of two quarters and one half, as well as recognising and finding three quarters. 

Congratulations to Benjamin, Iylah and Brody for being chosen as People of the Week! And a big well done to those who achieved their 99 club!

Please find attached this half term's Knowledge Web, KIRFS and Homework Grid. Of course, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

We hope you have a marvellous weekend and look forward to seeing you next week.

Welcome back Landaviddy! And what a great first week back we have had!

On Wednesday, we participated in a pizza making workshop, as part of our learning on cooking and nutrition. We had some practise cutting up the dough and enjoyed choosing our own toppings from the different food groups. We even got to take our pizzas home to eat - which were delicious!

This week, Year 2 have shown excellent perseverance this week by completing their KS1 assessments. You have all tried your absolute best and worked so hard. Well done! 

Practise for the Polperro Festival is well underway. Please make sure you continue to practise your lines, dance moves and song at home. We will continue to work hard on this next week!

In Maths, Year 2 have continued their work on fractions, looking at what a unit fraction is. Year 3 have completed developing their reasoning skills when finding a fraction of amount and are eager to start learning on Money next week. 

Congratulations to Tommy and Esme for being chosen as Landaviddy's People of the Week and a big well done to those who achieved their 99 club this week. 

We hope you have a super weekend and look forward to seeing you all on Monday!

Happy Half Term!

This week, we have been working hard on finishing up our letters to King Charles on plastic pollution. These will be prepared to be sent after half term. Fingers crossed we get a royal reply! We have also continued working on Fractions in Maths, with Year 2 finding quarters and thirds, and Year 3 finding fractions of amounts.

Preparations for Polperro Festival have begun! Please make sure you practise your speaking parts, dance moves and My Lighthouse song. Here are some links which should help you!

What a week we have had in Landaviddy! We have enjoyed Swimming with Mrs Phillips this week, and can’t wait to dive back in! In PE, we have continued working on our Team Building skills and really enjoyed working together to solve challenges. 

Geography this week was all about weather symbols. We learnt what each symbol represents and enjoyed plotting current temperatures and weather on maps. In DT, we had an excellent time with taste testing a variety of vegetables, proteins and dairy items, to discover our favourite combinations. We will then be choosing our best combo for a healthy wrap design. 

In Maths, both Year 2 and 3 have started a new unit on fractions, with Year 2 finding and recognising halves and Year 3 adding fractions. 

In English, everyone has worked so hard on their persuasive letters to King Charles, which we hope to send next week. All of the children should be so proud of their efforts! Well done!

Congratulations to Charlie-Ray and Ida for being chosen as Landaviddy’s People of the Week! And a big well done to all those who achieved their 99 club this week!

We hope you have a lovely weekend, full of sunshine, and look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

What a week Landaviddy class have had! We managed to get into the pool this week, which was lots of fun! Please make sure you are bringing in your swimming kits, so we can continue to take advantage of the pool throughout the warm weather. 

This week, we have enjoyed participating in the Big Green opening on Thursday! Thank you to all the parents/carers who came to watch our singing. We loved joining the village for something so special. During Wider Curriculum lessons this week, we have been learning about food groups in DT, sorting different foods and recognising what helps to make a balanced diet. Can you remember how many glasses of water we should have in a day? 

In Maths, both year groups have continued to explore mass and capacity. Year 2 have been measuring in grams and kilograms, and Year 3 have been adding and subtracting mass, as well as measuring capacity and volume. We will be finishing off this unit next week.

In English, we have been conducting research about plastic pollution and mind-mapped our ideas for ways we can help to stop this on Cornwall's beaches. We started to plan our persuasive letters today, which we will be writing and sending to King Charles! Yes, we have his address! We are excited to finish off planning and begin writing these letters next week.

Congratulations to Theo and Hector for being chosen as Landaviddy's People of the Week.

We hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend and look forward to seeing you back in school on Tuesday.

Hoppy Easter!

We've had a lovely end to the Spring Term in Landaviddy Class. In Science, we looked at the life cycle of flowering plants and continued making observations on our bean plants - we can't believe how much some of them have grown! Today, I had a look at the plant we were keeping in the cupboard and watering (see picture), so it has had no sunlight. Look at how different it is to our ones growing in the cloakroom! I will continue to water it at home over easter, so it will be interesting to see how it might change. 

In Computing, we demonstrated how a website worked. Can you recall what happens when a user puts in a request? We played a lovely game for April fools day in French - poisson d'avril!
In Art, we created collages of plants and flowers, by using the paper we prepared last week with different textures and patterns. The results were beautiful!

Today, we were lucky to have a visit from the Easter Bunny! What fun we have had! 

Please continue to practise your times tables, KIRFS and read when you can over the holidays! 

We hope you have a wonderful easter holidays and look forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 22nd April.
