Outdoor fun

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

This week the children have been having fun with the new resources in the outdoor area. They have we had a cafe on the go with waiters and waitresses and a building site. The builders also took a 5 minute break to go and have tea and biscuits in the cafe.

w/e 23.1.26

It has been another packed and purposeful week for our Year 4 and Year 5 children, full of creativity, curiosity and important conversations.

In Geography, the children developed their map skills by locating the world's deserts. They used atlases and maps to identify where deserts are found and began exploring what makes these environments so unique. This learning fed beautifully into our work in English, where the children have been building their grammar knowledge in preparation for writing their own desert diaries. The children have worked hard on sentence structure and detail, getting ready to bring their diary writing to life.

Some of our children were lucky enough to attend an art workshop at the local library, where they took part in creative activities and explored different artistic techniques.

In Science, the children investigated electricity through hands-on learning. They explored complete and incomplete circuits, testing what worked and what did not by using lamps, buzzers and motors. This practical work helped them develop a clear understanding of how circuits function and encouraged lots of problem-solving and teamwork.

We also began our new DT unit, where the children will be designing and making a book cover. They have started thinking about purpose and design, and will be choosing a fastening of their choice as part of their final product.

In RE, the children continued their learning about racism, engaging in thoughtful discussions about fairness, respect and treating others equally. This linked well with our PSHE lessons, where we focused on staying safe and speaking out, supported by guidance from the NSPCC. The children showed maturity and care when discussing how to seek help and support.

Our guided reading sessions linked closely to both our Islands topic and our science learning about electricity. A real highlight was watching a short clip from Billy Elliot, where Billy describes dancing as feeling like electricity through your body. The children particularly enjoyed making connections between this powerful description and their scientific understanding of electrical energy.

In French, we began an exciting new unit on habitats, learning new vocabulary and listening carefully to spoken French as we explored different environments.

It has been a busy and engaging week, and we are very proud of the enthusiasm, curiosity and thoughtfulness the children have shown across all areas of learning.

Polperro Primary Academy | Landaviddy

Prototype Cars and Moroccan Lemonade

This week Landaviddy have been enjoying continuing to explore our enquiry question 'How far can we travel?' by building prototype cars. We learnt about the history of cars and discovered how an axle helps to turn wheels. This was a practice run prior to us making our own toy cars in a few weeks time. In Science, we investigated how objects can change shape by stretching, bending, squashing or twisting. During Geography, we learnt about land use and explored local maps, identifying different types of land use. Music with Mrs Butlin was lots of fun playing djembe drums and practising being conductors.

In Maths, we have been revising multiples of 2, 5 and 10 and using arrays to represent multiplications. We also worked in pairs to problem solve and calculate the cost of making a cup of lemonade, working out the coins we needed too. During English this week, we followed instructions to make Moroccan lemonade which we taste tested today! All of the children loved drinking lemonade and were able to use their senses to collect a range of amazing vocabulary to describe the experience. Next week we will be writing up our instructions.

Congratulations to Theo for being chosen as Landaviddy's Person of the Week.

We hope you have a terrific weekend and look forward to seeing you next week!

TALLAND'S BLOG 23.1.26

Well there goes week 3 of Spring Term 1? Another high energy week that's been full of learning and playing with electrics (safely of course).

Here's a breakdown of our week:

Maths:
Year 5 have been multiplying 4-digit numbers by 2- digit numbers. Next week we will be solving word problems and looking at short division. They have also completed their unit on SHAPE.

Year 4 have been looking at factors and have been making shapes.

English:
We have continued to work on instructions. We've been learning how to develop a method which is in chronological order and has an abundance of description to help the reader.

Geography:
Talland learned about different grid references, investigated how to use them and had to locate different places on a map.

RE:
We looked at the story of Noah and the Arc in more depth and thought about what on our planet is good and what is bad. Are there things we can do to help our planet?

ART:
This week, we looked at how we can use tone and texture through shading. How to hold the pencil differently to give different effects and where light and shadowing would appear on a 3D object.

SCIENCE:
We have been exploring electricity and how to make a circuit. Talland had to make a light bulb, a buzzer and a motor turn on.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kayla, Renley and Max this week for passing their next round in 99 club and well done to Arnie for being noticed for showing our school values. He's shown real maturity of late and his work ethic is fantastic!

That's all from us in Talland this week. We hope you have a fantastic weekend and can't wait to see everyone next week.

Signing off from Mr. Langley and Mr. Bishop.

YEAR 5 SPELLINGS WEEK 15.docx

Week beginning 19th January 2026

St Cleer Primary Academy | Reception/Year 1

This week, we have continued learning about the story of Augustus and His Smile. We have been focusing on using the conjunction 'and', and the children came up with some wonderful descriptive sentences.

In Maths, we have been learning how to add and subtract 10 within 100. In PE, we took part in gymnastics, and in PSHE we learned about working collaboratively. The children worked in pairs and had to colour the same welly together.

In RE, we created our own prayer sandwiches, and in Music we learned how to sing using high and low voices. In Geography, we labelled the features of coasts.

Reception have been working hard on developing their fine motor skills and learning about spring. In Drawing Club, they have been writing some amazing sentences.

Highlights of learning for week ending 23.1.2026

Harrowbarrow Primary Academy | Class 2

This week in Class 2 we have been working as a team to try and understand multiplication and division, and the relationship between these two operations. We learned that division as an operation is nothing but the simple task of sharing or grouping. There were oodles of counters and cubes strewn all around the classroom during our Maths lessons this week. In Literacy, we have looked at special words that tells us more about verbs called adverbials. Today, we also investigated different sentence types and the punctuations associated with them.

In History, we have continued our enquiry into the history of flight by learning all about the first African American woman to earn a pilots license - Bessie Coleman. We looked at a reproduction of her license and became history detectives as we tried to figure out some details about her life from it. We ended up with more questions than answers this time. Below is an image of Sofia's observation and notes from this exercise. In RE, we learned about some of the teachings from the Qur'an and discussed how they applied to our own lives. In Art, we used our experiments with mark making using primary colours to create our own collages in our sketchbooks, while in Computing we continued learning how to use a word processor by learning how to select a text and change some of their attributes.

Finally, a very well done to:
> William for getting the Ready Award for persisting and not giving up during Maths learning.
> Freya for getting the Respectable Award for always being a kind and responsible member of the class.
> Darcey for being nominated for the Safe Award by the Positive Potato Police for being a kind friend and sharing her play equipment with others.

History
These are Sofia's notes and questions from examining Bessie Coleman's pilot's license.

Religious Educartion
This is Ella's representation of how the teachings from the Qur'an also applies to non-Muslims like herself.

Art

Polperro Primary Academy | Chaipel

Another week has gone by and we have covered so much learning. In Maths, we have been learning about angles in a quadrilateral in Shape and fraction and decimal equivalents in FDP. It's lovely to see the 'lightbulb moments' when the children are making links between the different areas of maths and working together to solve more abstract questions.

We have planned our narrative - to rewrite the ending of THE MIDNIGHT FOX - and are ready to write next week. I am looking forward to reading each and every one. Joey, in particular, has really put his all into his planning and I am excited to see what he produces.

In our Wider Curriculum, we have been learning about the city names in North American countries, we have 'built a god' in RE, learnt how to use aparatus for balance and core tension in PE and for our Art, we have been investigating Basquiat's use of animal art for his masterpieces. Tristan, has produced an incredible framed piece of work for his homework - thank you!

Congratulations to Henry and Imogen for being our People of the Week and showing our school values.

That's all from us so have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday.

Class 3 Blog for W/E 23rd January 2026

We have had an absolutely fantastic week in Class 3, with the highlight being our amazing school trip to Truro Museum on Wednesday to support our learning about Ancient Egypt. The children were brilliantly engaged as we explored pharaohs and the fascinating mummification process. Did you know the Ancient Egyptians believed the brain was useless and that the heart was responsible for who you were and the decisions you made? The children were fascinated by this! Behaviour throughout the trip was excellent, and the children represented the school superbly. We were lucky enough to view real Ancient Egyptian artefacts, including flint tools, amulets (lucky charms) and beautifully decorated pots. We also learned about the many gods the Ancient Egyptians worshipped and discovered just how greedy and expensive their beliefs and rituals could be.

In Science, we carried out an exciting investigation into melting points. We tested gummy bears, white, milk and dark chocolate, cheese, mozzarella and butter. Surprisingly, mozzarella had the highest melting point, while butter melted the fastest!

In Maths, both year groups are moving into our new unit on length and perimeter.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support, and a special thank you for helping get the children into school earlier on Wednesday so we could fully enjoy our day out.
