Polperro Primary Academy | Chaipel

Chaipel have really made progress in their writing this week, immersing themselves in how to write setting descriptions effectively using precise vocabulary, vivid sensory detail and figurative language. This afternoon, they have designed their 'newly discovered' planet with which they will combine their new learning to write a description which will evoke mood and create a sense of atmosphere.

In Maths, we have been comparing, ordering and rounding numbers. We will bring in decimals next week before moving onto addition and subtraction.

For our Wider Curriculum, we have been mixing colours to create tonal swatches, practising using a range of mediums to design the look and texture of their 'newly discovered planet. Next week, we will be looking at creating the background, producing nebulas and star clusters. In PE, Mrs Hillman has taught a range of yoga poses and I was lucky enough to see them put the poses together as a 'flow'. In PSHE, we have thinking about our hopes and dreams and what kind of world we want to live in and in French phonics, Chaipel have been learning the alphabet, how French primary school systems work and how different they are from English schools.

POLITE NOTICE
Don't forget it is National Fitness Day AND Meet The Teacher on Wednesday 24th. Children can come into school wearing warm PE clothes. Parents, the Meet The Teacher session begins at 2:45pm.

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

TALLAND'S BLOG 19.9.25

Happy weekend everyone! We hope you have had a lovely week and are all set for a breezy but fun weekend!

We've had a great week in Talland... busy, active and creative! Here's a brief breakdown of the week:

Maths:
Year 4 have continued to look at Place Value, investigating numbers that are 10/ 100/ 1,000 times more than or less than a number. and putting numbers to 1,000 on to a number line.
Year 5 have also continued their work with place value. They have been partitioning numbers to 1,000,000 and investigating different ways to partition these rather large numbers.
On a Friday, both year groups are learning shape. We have been exploring the different types of angles...why not ask your child which angles they can remember...

English:
I have been WOWED by the creativity that Talland are showing when it comes to writing. They have been working hard to inspect sentences and come up with fun and descriptive ways to improve sentences... their sentences are fantastic!

RE:
We created posters about how wonderful our world is and what we can do to protect it. Why not ask your child how we can keep our world healthy...

PE:
Talland have been working on their core strength during yoga sessions with Mrs. Hillman, demonstrating a range of strong and agile balances. With me, we had lots of enjoyable mini football matches where children demonstrated their dribbling skills, spatial awareness, team spirit and good sportsmanship.

Geography:
Talland got to work with the atlases today, where we probed features of South-East and South- West England. We analysed keys, telling us where cities, towns, rivers and counties are. We also explored where the highest and lowest points of our country are... do you know which country in the United Kingdom has the highest point?

CONGRATULATIONS to Anya and Archie for being nominated as our school councilors', a huge well done to Jamie for being chosen as our PE representative in the School Council and fantastic work from Lily this week for being noticed for a her excellent work ethic, learning behaviours and effort.

That's all from us in Talland. We hope you have a great weekend!

Signing off from Mr. Langley and Mr. Bishop.

Class 3 Blog for W/E 19/9/25

We've had a brilliant week in Class 3! We started our sports coaching with an exciting Tag Rugby session, where everyone showed great teamwork and energy. In computing, we've been learning about Networks and how computers connect and share information, while in history we explored what life was like for children during the Victorian and Tudor times, comparing how different their daily lives were to ours today.

Thanks for all of your support with the learning of timestables at home. It is great to hear from the children on how much they have been enjoying learning their times tables.

If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up to Showbie using the letters you received earlier in the week. If you need another letter, please get in touch.

19th September - A great first few weeks back!

Looe Primary Academy | Year 1/Year 2 (JB)

A great first few weeks back!

We have had a wonderful start in our new Year 1 / 2 class.

We have started our new question for this term which is "How am I making History?" We have begun exploring our personal histories using baby photos and photos of us now. We really enjoyed guessing which baby was who!

In English, we have started our story writing unit based around the book The Three Little Pigs. We have started by building our own houses out of different materials and learning the story through role play.

In Maths, we are looking at numbers up to 20. We have been finding one more and one less this week using cubes and ten frames. We have also started counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Some updates for our new class:

PE days are Tuesday and Friday.

Books will be changed on a Friday.

Please remember to order your child's lunches on a Thursday for the following week.

Please send your child in with a coat every day. The weather is very changeable at the minute but if we can get outside, we will!

Thank you all.

A very busy week!

This week the nursery children have been very busy!

We started our week with a visit to Hillcrest Residential Nursing Home where we did some art with the residents. We used our hands and seasonal coloured paint, to create some wonderful handprints of various sizes. We will use the handprints to cover our Autumn section of the season tree on the classroom wall.

Midweek was our PE session with Ryan our coach. We have been learning some ball skills, using our hands and feet to control tennis and footballs. We have also been refining our balance by carrying beanbags on our heads and shoulders. PE is a real highlight for the children and there are always lots of giggles and smiles during our sessions.

Friday morning was our second outdoor learning session with Kelly Edwards. This week we were foraging for natures treasure! We had to collect natural resources that would be good for bedding and food for the woodland creatures. The children were very excited to be out in the wild!

We are all very happy to be back into the swing of the new term and the children are all nicely settled and eager to enjoy all of the upcoming adventures we have lined up for our topic of "All About Me"

An Emotional Menagerie

St Cleer Primary Academy | Year 5/6 H

An Emotional Menagerie

LoTo kick of our new term we have challenged the children to be creative. We have focused on the poetry book 'An Emotional Menagerie' to inspire us to create a range of poems of our own.

In the poetry book, each letter of the alphabet links an emotion to an animal. The poem then explores more about both the creature and how we can identify and manage those emotions.

So far we have learned about figurative language, rhyming couplets, and how to use colons and semi-colons in lists. We have also spent a lot of time, developing creative ideas around each different emotion. We look forward to sharing the final poems when the children have published them!

The children are progressing so well with their oral blending and sound recognition.

We also made bears from our Story We're Going on a Bear Hunt, we had a class competition to see who could sequence the story, Miss Ginn and Mrs Phillips' team both tied!! The children have been using wonderful oracy skills to describe parts of the story when retelling.

In forest school with Kelly we learnt a new hide and seek game, Mrs Phillips tried to hide but the children found her very quickly! Kelly took the children on a treasure hunt too! The children also collected sticks and leaves to use as craft in class. They have made some wonderful magic sticks in class!

The children have been name writing, colouring, counting using numicon, drawing who is special to them, making family trees and so much more!

What a great week!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Fun, Friendship and Learning

What a fantastic week we have had in Tregantle Class!

The children have been getting to grips with recognising their name cards and practicing writing their names using the correct letter formation. It has been wonderful to see their confidence growing each day. We are also well underway with our phonics lessons and have already learnt five new sounds - amazing progress! A big well done to the children for practicing these at home to help remember them. The children also loved spending time with their reading buddies this week, sharing books and stories together.

In maths, we have been practicing careful counting by lining up objects and touching them one by one as we count. Everyone is working so hard to become accurate counters.

This week also saw our first PE lesson in the hall, where the children had great fun moving around in different ways, even pretending to be animals! We also practiced stopping quickly and starting again, which made for lots of laughter!

Our outside learning area has been full of excitement, with the large construction equipment being put to excellent use. We've seen an aeroplane and even a mansion created this week - fantastic teamwork and imagination!

Finally, we have started a new routine of cleaning our teeth each day after lunch. The children have really embraced this, helping us all to keep our teeth clean and healthy.

Well done, Tregantle Class - what a brilliant week of fun, friendship and learning! We are so proud of all your hard work and enthusiasm.

Highlights of learning for week ending 19.9.2025

Harrowbarrow Primary Academy | Class 2

This week ended with a high note this afternoon with a very active and creative Art lesson. Class 2 went put on our artist heads and opened our artist eyes and went exploring into the wild that is the Forest School area. We found some amazing natural things which we brought back into the classroom to create our own works of art. We then used Showbie to take photos of our works. I can't wait to share some of the amazing creations with you!

In Maths we have continued learning about numbers by exploring number lines. In Literacy, we have finished planning our reports and are looking forward to using all the skills we have learned so far to write our draft reports. In Science, we continued our explorations of what living things need to survive by talking about the differences between the needs of humans vs other animals.

In RE, we worked with Miss Walker to try and understand what Muslims think about god. We also had a really good Decider Skills session with Hannah on Thursday, where we learned how to STOP-PAUSE-BREATHE when we begin to feel FIZZY. In History, this week we made a list of questions we have about the history of our school. To help answer some of these questions, we have decided to invite some people who used to come to school here in the past. We cant wait to meet them and have our questions answered!

Besides our Tuesday PE sessions, we are so lucky to have the team from Pro20 with us on a Thursday to teach us key PE skills. This Thursday, we had our first session (with the Year 1s). We thoroughly enjoy ourselves playing Aliens and Planets, and other team games.

A very well done to:

Freya for getting the Ready Award for her efforts during Maths lessons and finishing her Greater Depth questions.
Finely for getting the Respectful Award for looking after his books and his impeccable presentation.
Emily for getting the Safe Award for helping her friends get ready for home time.
