Landaviddy

Another great week in Landaviddy Class! We are now two weeks into our enquiry question "How Can the Force be With You?", and the children have continued to show lots of enthusiasm for their learning.

This week we also enjoyed the excitement of World Book Day. Although it is my first time celebrating it at this school, I was really impressed by the amount of thought and effort that went into many of the costumes. It was wonderful to see the children's creativity and their love of reading.

In English, we have been delving deeper into the adventures of Traction Man from the books by Mini Grey. The children created their own character descriptions, thinking carefully about Traction Man's personality and heroic qualities. We also introduced another story, Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey. The class enjoyed using role play to retell the story before creating story maps to help them remember the sequence of events. We have started to compare the two stories and will continue exploring their similarities and differences next week.

In Maths, we have been continuing to explore multiplication and division. The children have worked incredibly hard this week to apply their knowledge to more complex problem-solving questions, and it has been wonderful to see their confidence growing.

In PSHE, we explored how the amount of calories our bodies take in can affect us. We also looked closely at food labels, particularly focusing on how many grams of sugar are found in some common unhealthy snacks. The children were surprised to discover just how much sugar can be in everyday foods!

In Design and Technology, we have been learning about mechanisms, specifically levers, pulleys and gears. The children identified the differences between each one and discussed how they are used in the real world. We are very excited to begin designing and making our own lever mechanisms to create a pop-up volcano picture over the next couple of weeks.

In Geography, we have been learning about volcanoes and how they are formed. The class labelled the different parts of the Earth and described each of the layers, developing a better understanding of what happens beneath the surface of our planet.

A huge congratulations to Alfie for staying on task and trying hard in all of his lessons this week. It has been impressive to see how well he has managed distractions.

Another well done to Evie, who blew me away with the fantastic vocabulary she used in her Traction Man character description.

A big congratulations to Iylah and Brody for achieving their 99 Club badge this week - a fantastic effort! Well done to everyone for another brilliant week of learning. We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Polperro Primary Academy | Killigarth Nursery

We have had a wonderful week full of exploring books. We have been exploring the story of "Rainbow Fish" and the children have enjoyed creating colourful collage fish and painted fish pictures alongside this.
This Thursday saw us celebrate World Book Day in addition to St Piran's Day. The children came into nursery all dressed up as their favourite book characters and looked great!
They made some St Piran's flag bookmarks, enjoyed a cream tea for their morning snack and we enjoyed reading the story books that the children brought in from home throughout the day.

In phonics this week we have been using our voices to create animal sounds, clapping to a beat and the children have played a game called "Fishing in the Arctic" where they have had to find and match objects with the same initial sound.

In maths we have been exploring numbers and finding objects to represent these numbers.

Have a wonderful weekend

St Priran's Day Celebrations.

Blisland Primary Academy | Nursery

Storytellers Nursery had a wonderful time celebrating St Piran's Day with a day full of Cornish-inspired activities. The children enjoyed making their own delicious scones, carefully mixing the ingredients and helping to prepare them ready for baking. There was great excitement as the scones came out of the oven, warm and smelling wonderful.

We also spent time exploring the beautiful daffodils that are beginning to appear around us. The children looked closely at their shapes, petals and bright colours before creating their own artwork. Using watercolours, they painted delicate yellow daffodils, experimenting with colour and brush strokes to capture what they had observed.

In the afternoon, we set up a very special afternoon tea, which the children absolutely loved. They carefully spread their scones with delicious Rodda's clotted cream, obviously Jam first, taking great pride in doing it themselves. There were lots of smiles as they enjoyed their tasty treats together around the table.

The children also had great fun pouring their own tea, practising their careful pouring and developing independence. Sitting together, chatting with friends and enjoying their homemade scones made the afternoon feel very special and a lovely way to celebrate St Piran's Day.

A week of fun and exploring!

Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy | Y1/2 Lantic

Lantic Class have had a fantastic week of learning and fun!

In Literacy, we have been enjoying the story Poles Apart. The children have worked hard to make their writing more exciting by using adjectives and nouns. We described different characters and places from the story, thinking carefully about words that would help the reader imagine them. We came up with some brilliant descriptions and the children were very proud of their work.

In Maths, we have been learning about place value to 50. The children have been exploring tens and ones, building numbers and showing them in different ways. They used practical resources to help them understand how numbers are made, and everyone showed great determination when solving number challenges.

We also have some very exciting news! We have transformed our second classroom space into an area for continuous provision. The children were so excited to explore it and it already looks amazing. It has lots of opportunities for exploring, creating, building and learning through play, and we are looking forward to using it even more in the coming weeks.

To finish the week, we celebrated World Book Day. The children came to school dressed as a huge variety of wonderful characters. It was fantastic to see so many creative costumes and to celebrate our love of reading together.

Well done Lantic Class for a brilliant week of learning!

"Gool Peran Lowen!"

Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy | YR/1 Tregantle

"Gool Peran Lowen!"

We have really enjoyed the sunshine this week in Tregantle Class! The garden has been full of imaginative and creative play, with the children making the most of the warm weather and spending lots of time outdoors. Our new stage area has been especially popular, inspiring plenty of performances and role play. This week we even had a yoga class led by the children themselves - what a wonderful and relaxing activity to see them organise and share with their friends!

Thursday was a very special day as we celebrated St Piran's Day. We were incredibly proud to perform our school anthem, Trelawny, live on Radio Cornwall. Tregantle children joined the whole school and sang their hearts out. It was such an honour to take part and celebrate this important Cornish occasion together.

World Book Day was also incredible. The costumes the children arrived in were imaginative and beautifully designed, and it was lovely to see so many favourite book characters come to life around the school. Throughout the day we enjoyed stories read by different teachers, made our own bookmarks, and went on an exciting 'character hunt' around the school grounds. What a fantastic way to celebrate our love of reading!

Spring has sprung in Class 1!

Harrowbarrow Primary Academy | Class 1

Jack's Farm Shop
During their busy learning time, the class have loved acting as Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk, of course!) selling produce at his farm shop. We have loved seeing such rich language in this area as children role play as farmer and customer.

Spring activities
We have also had a wealth of Spring themed activities inside and outside of the classroom. Including this finger gym activity where children have been using the Spring rollers to create a picture background and then various stampers to create the foreground.

Jack and the Beanstalk Small World Play
The class have loved acting out the story of Jack and the Beanstalk in our small world area. The play starts in Jack's farm (as seen above) and then travels up the beanstalk to the castle in the (very fluffy!) clouds.

Chinese New Year celebrations.

Blisland Primary Academy | Nursery

At Storytellers, we have been loving diving into this term's topic, "Food Glorious Food", and what a fantastic way to explore it by celebrating the Chinese New Year!

We spent the week learning how the Chinese New Year is celebrated around the world and discovered that red is considered a lucky colour, symbolising happiness and good fortune. The children were fascinated to learn that this is the Year of the Horse, and we talked about what that means.

We explored different Chinese prints and patterns before having a go at painting our own names in Chinese-style writing - the children were so proud of their creations! Our creative table was full of colour as we made beautiful, bright dragons and enjoyed dancing around the room with them, just like in traditional dragon dances.

The children also had great fun mastering chopsticks, showing real determination and developing their fine motor skills as they practised picking up different foods. There were lots of smiles (and a few giggles!) as they improved their skills.

To finish our celebrations, we prepared a special banquet to share with our friends. The children showed such bravery and curiosity, trying different foods and tasting some delicious desserts. It was a wonderful way to explore new flavours, cultures and traditions together. What a joyful, colourful week of learning, exploring and celebrating!

w/e 27.2.26

We had a brilliant first week back and made a fantastic start to our Spring 2 learning.

In English, we began the week by editing and publishing our poetry, taking great care with our presentation and improvements. Later in the week, we started our new unit on instructions, thinking carefully about clear steps, time conjunctions and bossy verbs. We are looking forward to developing these further next week.

There was lots of exciting new learning across the wider curriculum:

In Computing, we began our new programming unit.
In RE, we started learning about Good Friday.
In History, we had our exciting WOW start to introduce our new topic. Later in the week, we began learning about the Vikings.
In Science, we started our new topic on Changes to Materials and incestigated evaporating salty mixtures.
In French, we began learning about les saisons, and in Music, we started working on the well-known song, Blackbird.

We also enjoyed our first tennis session in PE, continued our sewing and fastenings unit in DT, and began our new PSHE unit, Healthy Me. As always, we celebrated fantastic effort and achievement in Friday's Achievers Assembly.

It was a focused and productive start to the half term - we are very proud of how well everyone settled back into their learning!
