Enormous Fun in Penhallow this week!

We have enjoyed a fabulous week of learning in Penhallow this week where we started retelling the traditional tale; The Enormous Turnip. The children have really enjoyed this story and there have been lots of vegetable linked activities around the classroom!

In science, we ventured out on a tree hunt to discover the evergreen and deciduous trees in and around our school grounds, we bought back some evergreen leaves and produced some beautiful leaf rub art work.

In maths, we have ventured into a new topic of measure and the children have enjoyed measuring objects with cubes and learning all about centimetres.

PE has been fun this week with lots of links to how we can work better as a team, encouraging others to do well and praising them when they succeed! We also enjoyed a very fun yoga session linked to The Enormous Turnip.

Well done to Iylah and Sonny for getting their next 99 club badge this week, showing real determination in their learning. A big well done also to our People of the Week this week; Molly, April and Amelia were picked this week for showing amazing examples of our school values. Well done!

We look forward to another fun week ahead, a little shorter as we come to the end of our Spring term. The children's Easter holiday begins at 1.30 on Thursday and this week we will be learning all about how Christians celebrate Easter starting with an assembly on Monday with Reverend Richard.

Keep up with the lovely reading and accessing TwinklGO! for more learning opportunities. Have a lovely weekend!

We've had another busy week in Landaviddy! As Scientists, we planned and conducted an investigation to see which surfaces a protractor would travel furtherest on. We then wrote up our conclusions. Were you surprised with your results?

In Geography, we learnt about earthquakes and the damage they can cause. We sketched and painted our volcanoes in DT, ready to complete our moveable volcano posters next week! And had a fantastic whole school singing session with Mrs Butlin this week - we really got into the spirit of Easter! 

In English, we have started a new unit on biographies. We read Malala's Magic Pencil and learnt about how she found her voice and used it to stand up for others. We have also read the biography of Marcus Rashford, which we all found fascinating!

In Maths, Year 2 have have finished their unit on Length and Height, and Year 3 have concluded multiplication and division! Next, we will be moving on to explore Shape.

Congratulations to Benjamin and Callum for being Landaviddy's People of the Week. And a big well done to Heidi, Zac and Arnie for achieving their 99 club!

It was lovely to meet with you all this week, to share the progress all the children have made during our parent consultations.  

Next week is our final week before the Easter holidays, where we will be finishing at 1:30pm on Thursday. Until then, we hope you have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you for some Easter fun next week!

In addition to the wonderful learning that has been taking place, This has been a great week for sport and fundraising at Polperro.

Cross-Country The Polperro team did brilliantly well in last week’s Landrake Inter Schools Cross Country Race; one of the muddiest races ever. Congratulations to the children who all completed their races, with or without shoes, and to Zac’s dad and Max S’s dad who dared to run alongside. Thank you to Mrs Turnbull for her team support this season and for running alongside the children too, and to parents and carers for transporting our runners to each race come rain or shine. An amazing effort all round from Team Polperro. 

Our School Joke Book Miss Gibbings has created a wonderful joke book containing all of the jokes the children bought in for our Comic Relief competition. Books are available from the office and cost £1 which will go to Comic Relief. Please send your child in with £1 if you would like a copy.

Fundraising for Marie-Curie Well done to our year 6s who have raised an amazing £692.05 For Marie-Curie by walking the distance from Talland Beach to Looe around our playground. Jack and Rosie have been writing an article about the event which will be published shortly on the Trust website as a Bridge Story.

Easter Activities The Easter break is fast approaching. Below are some activities you may want to do with your child/ren. Further information is attached to this blog.
• Easter Time2Move Holiday Programme This programme  aims to support families during the school holidays to ensure children have access to fun activities, healthy food and physical activity and to address those particular challenges for some families because of increased costs such as food, childcare and reduced income. It brings together providers across Cornwall who put on a wide range of diverse activities that are fully funded for those eligible for benefits related to free school meals but available to all children aged 5 to 16.
• Cycling Courses
• Looe Land Train

Please remember that next week, the last day of term is Thursday and school will end at 1:30pm.

Talland Class Blog 22.3.24

Four more school days until the Easter Holidays... I cannot believe how quickly Spring 2 has flown by!

We've been very creative in Talland this week (as you can see). Children have made the furniture for the Victorian Dolls house and painted them. Next week, we will move on to curtains and other furnishings. It's looking great.

Maths:
Year 4's are coming to the end of fractions now. We have been finding equivalent fractions and turning improper fractions into mixed numbers. Very clever stuff!
Year 5's have completed their percentages and decimals unit and have moved straight into statistics. Why not ask them how to draw a line graph...


English:
In English, Talland have completed their independent write for the newspaper article about the 'Workhouse Runaway'. I've been really impressed so far with what I have read. Next week, children will be writing their newspaper report up in best. I can't wait to see their finished results. 

PE:
In balls skills, children have been working in teams to think about tactics and using spatial awareness to help out their team mates. In gymnastics, we have learnt different rolls such as front rolls, straight rolls, teddy bear rolls and tucked rolls. It was really good fun.

Science:
We enjoyed looking at different states of matter in Science, where we found out how solids liquids and gases change state and the part particles play in all of this. What can you find at home that is a solid, liquid or a gas. Could you try and alter its state of matter by turning a solid into a liquid, or a liquid into a gas, or a liquid back into a solid (with adult supervision of course).

Well do to Leo for being noticed a s our special person of the week. He's always determined and enthusiastic at school and it's just lovely to see.

That's all from us in Talland. We hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Signing off from Mr. Langley, Mr. Bishop and Mrs. Hodge.

What a busy week we've had in Chaipel Class! Y6 have been working so hard this week, by sitting practice SATs tests whilst Y5 have been working equally as hard by doing their Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. In English, we have started to plan our own endings for the Midnight Fox. We have read up to the dilema, and are being left to make up our own ending for the story. In Art, we are getting ready to do our final piece, which we're all really looking forward to creating. 

On Thursday, we had a visit from Linda from Marie Curie in Cornwall, who presented us with an enormous cheque, revealing how much money we raised. It's amazing to think that only nine children managed to raise £692.05! Linda was extremely pleased and thanked us all for our hard work. - ROSIE G 

Also on Thursday, 6 pupils from Polperro join other children from the Trust in an Alternative Sports Day.
Max S and Ivy went from Chaipel, and this is what they ahd to say:
"I felt happy and excited about the day." - Max
"It was a learning curve because I learnt new sports which were fun!" - Ivy
Both agreed that they made lots of new friends too!

Congratulations to Ivy for being Miss Randle's Person of the Week for being determined and resilient in tackling her SATs papers.

This week we have started looking at Easter and the children have all been busy creating Easter craft.
They have been making lots of lovely things to take home including bunny baskets and handprint bunny headbands.
Outside, we have collected lots of natural items including leaves and petals to stick onto Easter egg shapes. 

In maths, the children have been fitting shapes into inset puzzles, finding objects that represent the number 3 and up to 5 and practicing to write numbers.

In phonics we have been learning about safari animals. We have been learning to identify animal sounds from a small group when playing "who's hiding under there?". The children have been playing instruments that might sound like different animals and exploring ways to move our bodies like different animals such as snakes, elephants and lions.


We have four more nursery days before the Easter holidays and look forward to seeing everyone next week.

We have covered a lot during our Wider Curriculum lessons this week! In Science, we learnt that a force is a push or pull, by exploring how we make a range of objects move. In Geography, we discovered there are three types of volcanoes; active, dormant and extinct. Can you remember what each of these mean? We also debated why living near a volcano may have its benefits and consequences. In DT, we explored a lever mechanism by creating mockups, which we will use when creating our own moveable posters - we can't wait! During our Computing lesson, we loved exploring how the micro:bit's work and planned for our volcano animations, which we will code next week! 

English this week has consisted of lots of story writing! We have been working hard to finish our Traction Man inspired adventure stories, and both myself and Mr H have been so impressed! Well done! 

In Maths, Year 2 have continued working hard measuring length and height this week. They have been measuring in metres and comparing measurements carefully. Year 3 have continued working on division, focussing on how we can flexibly partition numbers and divide with remainders. 

Congratulations to George, Anya and Heidi for achieving your 99 club badges this week! And a big well done to George and Nevaeh for being Landaviddy's People of the Week. 

Next week are Parent Consultations, and we are looking forward to meeting with you all.

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

Taland's Blog 15.3.24

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you have had a fantastic week!

It's been busy in Talland!

Maths:
The year 4's have been learning about mixed numbers and improper fractions. Why not quiz them on what they are...
The year 5's have been rounding decimals to whole numbers and ordering and comparing them. 

English:
We've completed writing up our newspaper report about Oliver Twist now. Children have learnt lots of techniques to write their own successful newspaper report so we have just begun planning for their independent article: 'Workhouse Runaway'. I can't wait to read the finished article!

Music was great fun (as always) and it would appear that Talland have some talented children when it comes to playing the flute!

Well done to Thomas this week for being recognised for his creative homework. He must be really proud of himself - it was great! Good luck to the cross country runners' today!

I'm looking forward to talking to you all next week and telling you what little super stars you are raising!

That's all from us in Talland class this week.

We hope you have an amazing weekend!

What a brilliant week we've had in Chaipel Class! We started off the week by finding out what house teams we're in. There are four houses: Chestnut, Willow, Oak and Ash who each have their own Captain and Vice Captain. Congratulations to Ava, Verity and myself who were all chosen to represent our houses as captains in Chaipel Class.

On Thursday, Y5 and Y6 were lucky enough to go down to Liskeard Fire Station for the afternoon. We learnt how to stay safe in different scenarios that we might come across. 
- ROSIE GRACE 

On Friday, we raised money for Comic Relief by dressing in 'mufti' and bringing in our best jokes. My favourite was       Jack G's which went like this:
Why do some cows travel in limousines?
Because they are moovie stars!  


In our learning, we have been working with fractions, decimals and percantages in Maths. In English, we have been studying the book The Midnight Fox and we are are going to be writing our own endings next week. - DAISY 

Congratulations to Rosie Grace and Martha for being Chaipel's People of the Week and to Joel and Ivy for getting their 99 Club badges. - ROSIE MAY

Despite the weather, Penhallow have continued in their search for Spring and enjoyed a fun filled week of learning.

In maths, we have been partitioning tens and ones. The children have done brilliantly at recognising how many tens and ones make up numbers to 50.

In English, we have written up our instruction texts and we look forward to starting our traditional tale; The Enormous Turnip. We will be learning the story and then making our own version of the traditional tale. I hope the children will be able to think of lots of different vegetables that could be included in our new version of the tale.

This goes brilliantly with our PSHE topic of Healthy Me! This week, the children have been looking at what makes our bodies healthy, how important getting a good night sleep is and what to do if we are feeling unwell.

In science, we have discussed if a tree is a type of plant. We have looked at different deciduous and evergreen trees on our school grounds.

Well done to Penhallow's 'People of the Week' this week. Theo, Ida  and Casey have shown fantastic examples of our school values. Well done!

Keep up with the brilliant reading and accessing TwinklGo! for more activities.

We hope you enjoy a lovely weekend!

Another busy and exciting week has just flown past.

On Monday in a special assembly we launched our School  Houses: Ash, Oak, Willow and Chestnut, names chosen by the School Council. House Points are given to the children when they demonstrate our school values: Curious, Creative, Excellent, Responsible, Determined and Enthusiastic and pupils can see how many points their house has by looking at our House Point Tracker in the corridor by the library. Well done to our first Captains and Vice-Captains who have been chosen because they consistently demonstrate our values (Rosie, Verity, Everly, Ava, Leo, Jamie, Finn and Hugh) and to everyone who has won a House Point this week.

It has been a busy week for our football team who played on Monday and Tuesday this week. They won against Fourlanesend School on Monday and showed great spirit when they played against Pelynt School on Tuesday.

Year 5 and 6 had an amazing afternoon on Thursday at the Junior Life-Skills roadshow where they met organisations who will help them learn skills to improve their safety. They learned CPR, how to remain safe online, at the beach and on the railway and learned more about public transport and electrical safety.

Thank you for sending your children in today in MUFTI. We had a huge amount of fun in school today listening to jokes and finding out about the work of Comic Relief. We have raised over £150 for Comic Relief from your generous donations.

Parenting Workshops April – August 2024 Please find attached the latest programme of free parenting workshops being run by Cornwall Council, Together for Families.

We've had a very exciting week in Landaviddy! 

On Tuesday, we learnt in Geography about the formation of volcanoes. Can you recall the names of the parts of a volcano? We also conducted an experiment where we made an erupting volcano, which was fantastic! It was so much fun! In Science, we finished our unit on materials, considering how we can bend, twist and stretch different objects. 

In English, we finished planning our adventure stories inspired by Traction Man, and began writing our first drafts. We will finish these off next week! 

In Maths, Year 2 have started a new unit on Length and Height. They have been measuring in centimetres (cm) with great accuracy. Year 3 have been dividing 2-digit numbers, using part-whole models to support partitioning numbers into tens and ones. We have had to use our growth mindsets this week, but everyone has been up for the challenge! 

On Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day across the school by dressing up as our favourite book characters or wearing our pyjamas. We had a fantastic day! In the morning, Year 1 and 2 watched a digital event hosted by the author Helen Stephens. We loved hearing her stories and seeing how she created her illustrations for her story books 'Smelly Peggy' and 'How to Hide a Lion'. Then in the afternoon, Year 3 joined the rest of KS2 to enjoy a digital event held by Michael Rosen. Overall, we had a fantastic day celebrating our love for reading and books!

Congratulations to Charlie and Flora for being Landaviddy's People of the Week. 

Please find attached below the Knowledge Web for this half term. Of course, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and look forward to seeing you all refreshed on Monday.

A Fabulous Week, FULL of celebrations this week!

Penhallow have enjoyed a fabulous, fun filled week this week which started with a fantastic assembly from Reverend Richard all about Cornwall and how and why we celebrate St Piran's Day! The children loved learning more about why our Cornish flag looks like it does. 

In maths, the Year 1s have completed their topic of addition and subtraction within 20, doing brilliantly, especially when learning all about related facts and what the inverse operations are. The children loved standing at the front of the class to teach me what the opposite of addition was! We also loved learning all about the difference this week, comparing boys and girls in Year 1.

In English, we are writing our instruction texts, whilst planting a sunflower seed. This is a great opportunity to include all that we are learning in Year 1, we have included a question and sequencing words to list the important steps to plant a sunflower seed.

PE has been super fun this week, we are learning how to respect each other in games and work brilliantly as partners.

In Science, we made the most of getting outside for a spring time search for wild flowers, learning that wild flowers grow wherever their seed falls. This complimented our story of The Tiny Seed perfectly.

Talking of enjoying stories, on Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite book characters or wearing our pyjamas. We had a fantastic day! In the morning, Year 1 joined year 2 in Landaviddy and watched a digital event hosted by the author Helen Stephens. The children loved hearing her stories and seeing how she created her illustrations for her story books 'Smelly Peggy' and 'How to Hide a Lion'. The decorated spoons that the children bought in are just fabulous and we are looking forward to seeing them displayed in our school library!

Music was also thoroughly enjoyed on World Book Day where we sang a song all about books to celebrate! We added instruments for a beat and lots of fun was had!

Well done to our 'People of the Week' this week, Esme, Alfie and Emily, each showing fantastic examples of our school values. WOW, the children did so brilliantly in our practice lockdown today, I was so proud of each one of them. Well done also to Esme for achieving her 11 badge in 99 club this week and Iylah for achieving her 33 club badge!

We hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend and really hope Mums enjoy receiving their handmade treasures on Sunday (check bookbags if nothing arrives on your breakfast tray!!!)

We hope everyone had a fantastic World Book Day!

What have we been doing this week?

Maths:
Year 4's have found out that fractions aren't actually as scary as we first thought. 
Year 5's have been trail blazing their way through Decimals and Percentages.

We've been learning about fronted adverbials, relative clause and a whole range of writing techniques for our newspaper report on Oliver Twist. Next week, we will be looking at reported speech and direct speech (there will be a lot of acting involved).

PE: 
Children haven continued to enhance their ball skills and master the landing technique in gymnastics - even when we add a twist.

Design and Technology:
Talland were put into groups. They now know which room the will be designing and creating for the Victorian Doll's House. Why not ask you child which room they have...

World Book Day was amazing, the costumes were fantastic and the enthusiasm from the children was brilliant!

Thank you so much for sending your children in on World Book Day in their amazing costumes or PJs. We were overwhelmed by the response to our ‘Wooden Spoon Challenge’ competition and so pleased with the wonderful ideas and level of detail. Rev Richard judged the entries after our St Piran’s Day assembly on Monday and again on Tuesday as there were so many to consider! Well done to the winners (Daisy, Kora, Amber and April and Maevis) who will each receive a book (kindly funded by FOPS). Congratulations also to the runners up. 

Cross Country Congratulations to our cross-country team who ran brilliantly at last week’s race at Liskeard. Our runners are getting faster and faster each time and always show great sportsmanship, especially in the mud last week. Our early finishing boys waited to cheer on their friends at the end of the race and well done to Flora who completed the course carrying her friend’s shoe which had been lost in the mud.

FOPS Quiz Please see attached flyer for details of the FOPS (Friends of Polperro School) Quiz which we are holding on Friday 22nd March to raise funds for the school. Tickets are on sale in the office. We hope to see you there.

Comic Relief This year Red Nose Day is on Friday, 15th March. The School Council would like the children to come to school in MUFTI with a minimum donation of £2 for this MUFTI day. School Council would also like children to bring in their favourite joke as part of a competition they are organising. Details to follow.

Parent Consultations
Reminder that parent consultations are taking place the week of the 18th March. There is still time to sign up by calling the school if you have not already done so.

Emergency Lockdown Procedure We held an emergency lockdown procedure drill today and the children responded very well. Lockdown procedures are important and would be used in response to an internal or external incident which could be a threat to the safety of staff and children in the school such as: 1. A reported incident, disturbance in the local community 2. An intruder on the site 3. A warning being received regarding a local risk of air pollution (smoke plume, gas cloud etc.) 4. A major fire in the vicinity of the school 5. The close proximity of a dangerous dog. We practice this drill yearly and fire drills termly.

This week in nursery, we have continued to explore spring. The children have been busy exploring what happens in spring and have enjoyed playing in the spring themed tuft tray using tools to dig in soil with and putting plants and flowers into pots.
They have used vegetables to create flower pictures in paint and created beautiful spring wreaths using different materials.

At story time, we have looked at different books relating to spring including "On the farm" where the children named the baby animals they saw.
In phonics, we have been using our voices to copy animal sounds, hearing initial sounds in words and trying to match words together that rhyme with each other.

In maths the children have been countng and sorting number puppies into groups and been finding objects to represent numbers.

On Friday it was Comic Relief and the children came dressed in their red clothes to celebrate this. They got creative and made some red noses and we went on a hunt for lots of objects that are the colour red.

Next week, we start to look at Easter and are very excited to start lots of activities related to this.

Have a great weekend

Its been a busy week at nursery. On Tuesday we celebrated St Piran's Day. The children enjoyed a cream tea at morning snack (jam first!!) and they painted flags to take home.
We are exploring spring and answering our enquiry question of "What happens in spring?". The children have made tissue paper plate flowers and have made musical flower shakers which we have played whilst singing lots of songs. The children have done some still life painting, observisng a vase of daffodils and then painting their own interpretation of what they saw. They all did a great job!
In phonics we have been naming and describing sounds in our environment, hearing and identifing initial sounds in words and trying to keep in time with a simple beat.

In maths, we have been finding objects to represent the number 3 and the children have been practicing their counting :)

On Thursday, the children dressed up for World Book Day. They all looked great dressed up as their spoon character or in their pyjamas. We enjoyed reading and sharing the books that were brought in from home.

Have a lovely weekend

It has been another fun-filled week of learning in Penhallow. The weather being the main discussion point as we continue our search for signs of spring! 

In maths, we have been exploring doubles and had lots of fun with dice, ladybirds, butterflies and double treasure hunts! We have found out that near doubles can help us with our addition and subtraction facts  within 20.

In PSHE, we continued to learn about the importance of staying healthy! We put together a healthy and an unhealthy plate, learning about the important food groups.

In PE, we have enjoyed 2 really fun sessions, learning all about fitness and why it is important and game skills like rolling, kicking, throwing and aiming.

Science this week has been fun, where we dissected a daffodil, learning all about the structure of a plant, the children 'wowed' us with wanting to know more, recognising pollen, the stigma, the trumpet of the daffodil as well as the basic plant structure. Next week we will be starting to grow our own seeds.

We really enjoyed a jam tart snack break on Friday to celebrate the Reception class finishing their level 3 phonics!

Well done to Finn, Kai and Brody for achieving their 22 badges in 99 club this week!

Also a big well done to our 'People of the Week' Martha, Sonny and Darragh for showing super examples of our school values.

Another week has gone by, and we have continued to explore 'How Can the Force be With You?'. In Science, we have been exploring how materials are suitable for different purposes and describing their properties. In Geography, we learnt about the layers of soil and layers of the earth. In Computing, we made our flipbooks and look forward to planning for our own volcano animations. We had a brilliant music lesson with Mrs Butlin too, as always! On Monday, we had an excellent PE lesson with Mrs Phillips, focussing on Team Building, which required lots of clear communication.

In Maths, Year 2 have continued working hard on Position and Direction, describing movement and turns and creating shape patterns using turns. Year 3 have been multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers and making links between multiplication and division. Next week, we will be focussing on dividing 2-digit numbers. 

In English, we have continued learning about Traction Man, exploring the use of onomatopoeia and have started planning for writing our own adventure stories! We can't wait to start writing these next week.

Congratulations to Amber for being Landaviddy's Person of the Week.
