News: 9th October - 16th Ocotber 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been another energetic, creative, and action-packed week across all our classrooms. The children have been working exceptionally hard, tackling new challenges with curiosity and enthusiasm. Here are some of the fantastic highlights from around the school this week:

Class 1: Early Reading & Hands-on Maths

Class 1 continues to impress us all with their growing confidence in early reading! It has also been wonderful to watch them dive into key mathematical concepts, exploring sorting, grouping, and comparing items through engaging practical activities outdoors. Their enthusiasm for learning new skills every day is wonderful to see.

Class 2: Ambitious Authors & Brilliant Vocabulary

We have some truly talented storytellers in Class 2! This week, the children produced impressive story writing, showcasing incredible creativity. I was particularly blown away by their thoughtful and ambitious vocabulary choices—their stories really came to life on the page!

Class 3: Expressive Art in the Style of Jackson Pollock

Class 3 transformed the playground into a bustling art studio this week, creating vibrant masterpieces inspired by the iconic modern artist Jackson Pollock. The energy and expression in their work were fantastic—though I made sure to stand at a safe distance while visiting, just to avoid getting splatted with paint!

Class 4: Adventure Day at Launceston College

Class 4’s busy start to the school year continued with another fantastic trip beyond the classroom! The children took part in an action-packed Adventure Day at Launceston College, where they tackled climbing walls, gathered together to roast marshmallows, and put their collaboration to the test in competitive team games. As always, their teamwork, manners, and positive attitudes made them a real credit to our school family.

School Football Team: ESFA Competition

After winning the event last year and respresenting Cornwall, the school team competed again and did the school proud. They were very unluck not to win the tournament and the very wet weather didn't help but they can hold their heads high after recording one draw, one loss and one win. 

Harvest Festival: 

Monday next week (9.30am) we invite you to St Paternus Church as we celebrate Harvest Festival. We ask, if you can, to bring long-life food goods to donate to the food bank.

Thank you to all our pupils for their hard work this week, and to our wonderful families for your ongoing support. Wishing you all a restful and happy weekend!
