Our LOtC day saw the us enjoying the forest school area, the great weather and some of our slimy friends! We started the day on a scavenger hunting, searching for as many different things as we could and everyone had their own interpretation. Some groups found big things some groups small. We then had to categorise them and here we looked at things that had grown and it made us realise the impact we have on our environment when we looked at all the things that would not have naturally grown their. This gave us the opportunity to remove and tidy our forest school area and also to think about projects we'd like to put in place.
Under Mrs Dan's direction, our allotment bed had been refreshed and planted with rows of potatoes. We are also trying some companion planting with various types and beans being planted and we hope that these will be able to grow up the sunflowers and sweet corn that we've planted alongside.
Time will tell just how successful our planting will be.
Mr Knight.

A HUGE well done to all of Year 6 this week. The children have really persevered with their SATs assessments and have done themselves, and their adults, very proud indeed. They are all FAB-U-LOUS! Thank you also for your continued support at home.
We celebrated the end of a busy week with a walk, BBQ and the children receiving their hoodies along with a special invitation. Thank you very much to the adults who have organised this for the children to celebrate the end of their time at St Cleer.

We had a great day on Friday, enjoying some cricket coaching! We learned loads and had such fun!
Also this week, we’ve observed Mental Health Awareness Week, with some FA football stars!
This week Lantic class have been learning how to jump in our PE lessons - jumping high and jumping a distance. We were really good at jumping from 1 foot to 2 feet.
During science, we focused on trees this week and went on a leaf hunt, we then drew and labelled our leaves back in the classroom and looked at how we could classify them into different groups.
We've also been very busy with our Year 2 Reading SATs - the children coped really well and took them in their stride! The should be proud of their efforts.
In RE, the class learnt to to understand what it means to belong to the Jewish community, they drew a Jewish family having their Shabbat meal and then wrote what the family do on Shabbat. Perhaps you could ask your child what they learnt?
Over this week we have been learning to tell the time... we have really been working really hard on quarter past and quarter to the hour!! We have also had a go at building tractors from various construction toys.
As the sun was shining, we started to weed our patio area... it's looking good already!!
On Friday, we were very lucky to have a Cricket Chris come in to explain and show the children how to play rapid cricket - we had great fun! Locally, the children can play All Stars Cricket (5-8yrs) at St. Stephens Cricket Club - Fri 10th May - Fri 28th Jun 2024
17:30 - 18:30. All Stars Cricket provides boys and girls from 5-8 years old with non-stop fun. The activity and game based programme is suitable for all skill levels, providing your child with the foundations to begin a lifelong love of physical activity and cricket, while making friends in a safe and enjoyable environment.
These two boys impressed me with their achievement at the weekend. This
week, we have continued to learn about explanation texts: ‘How animals have
adapted to their habitats.’ In maths, we finished our Fractions unit and have
started Mass and Capacity. We have enjoyed our art lessons where we have
continued be inspired by Henri Rousseau’s jungle paintings and consequently
have planned our own piece in his style. Thank you to those that came to
support the Reading Café. I know some couldn’t make it or forgot so you are
welcome to come to the year 5/6 one next month.
Year 6 have been absolute troopers this week. They have successfully completed their final lessons of revision before the SATS begin on Monday. Everyone has focused, worked hard and had some fun along the way.
It’s not all been revision though. Aryton did a super job of leading this week’s Reading Assembly to the whole of Key Stage 2, the bowling team have started their journey towards world domination in the filed of lawn bowls and Mrs Williamson has been teaching Year 6 the finer points of rounders ready for several matches between Pendower and Seaton in the final few weeks of term.
We have also made a great start on our new topic ‘Why should we remember the Maya?’. Keep reading the blog for regular updates on our voyage of discovery into the Central America region that was home to this fascinating civilisation.
To finish off our week, we had a visit from Peter the Paramedic and his ambulance. We had a tour of this unique vehicle and the equipment carried within it. The children also had the opportunity to stretcher two of their classmates a short distance. This was a task involving teamwork and a lot of trust. Needless to say, they rose to the challenge admirably. We look forward to welcoming Peter back to Brunel in the coming weeks to deliver first aid training to the Year 6s.
Key information:
· SATs begin on Monday 13th May and conclude on Thursday 16th May.
· All Year 6s are encouraged to attend Breakfast Club on these days so they are in school and settled in advance of the tests. There is no charge for this facility.
