In PSHE as part of our 'Dreams & Goals' topic we have been learning about how to work well with a partner and we had to work in pairs to design a welly boot. We have also been setting ourselves goals and thinking about how we can achieve them. 

On Internet Safety day we read a story called 'Digiduck's Big Decision' all about being kind and making good choices on the internet. 

We joined an online assembly that talked about places where we feel safe for Children's Mental Health week. 

In PE we have been practising throwing and catching and learning how to find a space and communicate with our team in a game. 

We made lovely Valentine's Day cards and some sweet cake treats on our last day before the half term holiday. We also had a lot of fun at the school disco!

Another lovely week has flown by and we are truely immersed in our enquiry into WW2. We have been learning about the Battle of Britain and what the phrase 'to win' actually means and at what cost this win was to the British people.

We took our new learning and have written a balanced argument about to the term 'winning' in English, questioning whether Britain 'won' the Battle of Britain. Next week we will edit, improve and write up our argument in best copy. In Maths, we have begun to interpret formula in algebra and have revisited measurements of length, mass and capacity. 

As well as our investgation into the Battle of Britain, our wider curriculum comprised of learning about the functionality and form of a range of toys in DT. We will be creating our own steady hand game in the coming weeks. The weather has been kind (at last) so we have been improving our tennis skills in PE and in RE we have investigated, drawn and labelled the Jewish Torah scrolls; this will lead to the significance of and treatment towards the Jewish community during WW2.

World Book Day was on Thursday and we had some lovely costumes! Well done to Lily for winning the Book Plate competition - the prize beiing to select a book of your choice! We tuned into the BBC's LIVE lesson and read to the younger children in Penhallow. It was a lovely day!

CONGRATULATIONS to our People of the Week - Thomas and         Everly - for demonstrating our school values this week.

That's all from us, have a lovely weekend!

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary.

We've had a lovely first week back. We began with launching our long-awaited enquiry into the impact of WW2 on the people of Britain. We completed a pre-assessment Kahoot quiz and then have spent this week investigating the events leading up to the start of the war and the significance of the Battle of Britain, listening to primary oral sources from the veterans of the RAF. It was so inspiring to hear of their dedication and spirit - as they never referred to themselves as brave: they were just doing their duty to King and country.

We are linking English with our enquiry, writing a balanced argument about whether Britain actually 'won' the Battle of Britain. We have investigated the 'pros' and 'cons' of the battle and took part in a class debate, putting our points of view across and building on and challenging the opinions of others.

In Maths, we have been finishing off our fractions, decimals and percentages unit. We are really confident now and are looking forward to a week of algebra next week! 

We ended the week with a visit to Muchlarnick, where we were the first children to plant the first fifty trees which will make up the newly-formed temperate rainforest. This links in with the George Orwell project we were lucky to be part of a couple of years ago. We had 'press coverage' there and Aria, Nuala, Immy and Tristan spoke very eloquently when asked to give their account of their experience.

CONGRATULATIONS to our People of the Week: Lily, Chilali and Leo who demonstrated our school values and are true role models to their peers.

I have attached the Homework Grid and KIRFs for this half term. Carry on with the SATS books and remember the SATS clubs are Tuesday (pm), Wednesday (lunchtime) and Thursday (am).

That's all from us so have a lovely weekend,

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary.

It has been wonderful to join Landaviddy Class as their teacher. They have made me feel really welcome and I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of them.

We have launched our new enquiry question: How Can the Force be With You?  The children are already excited to find out all about volcanoes in geography and forces in science.

In PSHE we have looked at how exercise affects our bodies and the children have set themselves a fitness challenge which we will look at over the half term.

In English, we are getting to know the Traction Man stories.  This week have enjoyed drama where the children acted out the story of Traction Man. 

In Maths, we have been looking at the 2, 4 and 8 times table, applying our knowledge of multiplication and division.

Congratulations to Sonny for being my first Person of the Week for being very welcoming and consistently being on task. And a big well done to April and Ella for achieving their 99 club badge this week.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Welcome Back!

We hope you had a wonderful and restful half term, we've enjoyed hearing what you have been up to. It is lovely to see everyone back and hearing about some of the adventures you have had!

This half term, our enquiry question is: What is it like to live on an island?

We are going to become island explorers as we discover what makes an island special and how it is different from other places. We will be finding out: What an island is and how it is surrounded by water What the weather might be like on different islands. How people can travel on and off an island. What plants and animals might live there We will explore islands around the world, learn about island life, and imagine what it would be like if we lived on our very own island.

There will be lots of exciting activities, creative projects and fun challenges along the way. We've started the week by reading maps and creating our own, using descriptive vocabulary to write a postcard and using money in maths (watch out we may book ourselves a holiday!)  We are looking forward to a fantastic half term of learning together.
