A Wonderful week!

Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy | YR/1 Tregantle

We love Learning!

This week in Tregantle Class we have been busy little learners!

In Maths, we explored repeating patterns, using colours, shapes and objects to create our own designs. The children worked so carefully, spotting what comes next and proudly sharing their patterns with friends.

In Phonics and Writing, we have been practising writing our names every day, helping us to form letters correctly and with confidence. We also focused on our new trick word 'to', which we enjoyed spotting in sentences and practising in our play.

During Wild Tribe, we went on a colour hunt in nature, finding lots of wonderful natural shades and textures. We then used these ideas to create our very own Colour Monsters using paper plates. This gave us a great chance to practise our- folding and designing with care and creativity.

We are so proud of how well the children are settling into school life. They are showing such enthusiasm for their learning and making fantastic progress already. Well done Tregantle Class!

Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy | Y4/5 Perranporth

Welcome to another busy week in Perranporth class! We've been finishing the final drafts of our stories in English and as it was National Poetry Day on Thursday, we've written some Blackout Poems, really focusing upon making each word count.

In our oracy work this week, we have concentrated on using our physical oracy skills; using our voice, body language and aiming to engage our audience effectively.

This week's science centred on an investigation into the thermal insulating properties of various materials. So we considered the best design to keep a teacher's coffee warm on the playground with some surprising results. Please ask your child which material proved to be the best.

Tuesday saw our very first Two Tyre Tuesday in KS2, which was an opportunity for children to bring scooters (plus helmets of course) to school have some playtime fun. This was a huge success, many thanks to Mrs Williamson for organising.

Next Monday will be our Harvest assembly, each class has been working on their contribution. Thank you for all your generous contributions to the Saltash foodbank.

Have a great weekend.

Polperro Primary Academy | Killigarth Nursery

This week at nursery we have started to answer our enquiry question "How do I know it is autumn?"
The children have enjoyed spending time in the school garden where we collected different materials such as leaves and acorns. They talked about what they saw and we explored different sounds that things made such as "crunchy" leaves.
We have started arts and crafts such as making paper plate owls and the children enjoyed some cooking this week, making crumpet pizzas.

Our book corner has changed to show the story of "Owl Babies". We have enjoyed reading this story along with others including "In the woods"

In phonics we have been on a listening walk, beginning to listen to sounds and identify which have the same one and the children have been listening for rhyming words in a game of rhyming pairs.

In maths, we continue to explore shape and have been constructing with shape bricks and blocks.
Have a great weekend

Update for week ending Friday 3rd October 2025

Harrowbarrow Primary Academy | Class 4

This week, Year 6 have been exploring prime numbers, factors and multiples, using their reasoning skills to spot patterns and solve problems. Year 5 have been rounding large numbers to the nearest 10,000 and 100,000, and have shown great confidence with place value. In Science, we've been investigating shadows and discovered that moving an opaque object closer to a light source makes the shadow larger. In English, we've started a new unit on non-chronological reports and are beginning to understand the features. It's been a great week of learning!

The spellings for this week are different suffixes: appreciate, appreciating, appreciation, creating, creation, cycling, faded, fading, famous, grimy

Here are the KIRFs for this week:

Week ending Friday 3rd October

Polperro Primary Academy | Penhallow

Hello Everyone,

We enjoyed a lovely lesson outside in science this week. Reception were busy collecting objects for our Autumn display, while year 1 were finding living and non-living things. Year 2 were working together to categorise objects that were alive, used to be alive, and never been alive. They were excellent at giving reasons as to why they had chosen their particular categories.

In art this week, the children each created their own colour wheel, which used the 3 primary colours to mix purple, green and orange. They enjoyed adding more of certain primary colours, and watching the effects.

We have been particularly pleased with Year 1 this week, as they have really made an effort to become more independent in their writing. We have written some lovely descriptions of story settings and have innovated the Mr Benn stories by David McKee.

Well done to Reception this week, for working hard in maths to compare weight and to sort objects in different ways.

Have a lovely weekend.

Morwellham Quay

Lanlivery Primary Academy | Little Foresters

The children had a truly immersive trip to Morwellham Quay. We started the day by dressing up in Victorian clothes and walking through the town. We learnt that manners were important and you had to say 'good day' to anyone you saw, with the girls curtsying and the boys dipping their hats. We then went to look at the cottage of a rich Victorian family and a poor Victorian family. We learnt about how they got water as they didn't have taps or toilets. After lunch we had a lesson in the Victorian school room. We had a go at writing on slates. We also learnt about what happened to children that didn't follow the rules. We finished off by trying some different playground games. All the children had a great day and learnt a lot.

Copper valley Junior Academy | Year 5

September 2025

Year 5 have made a fantastic start to the year! We have built on our Maths learning about place value; using and applying what we have learnt in previous years to larger numbers - up to 6 digits. Rounding has proven a bit challenging, but we have persevered and definitely got better at it. In English, we began the year revising the eight main word classes and how three of them can be used to create noun phrases and expanded noun phrases. We have also been reminded how to accurately punctuate direct speech and have been using this in our narrative writing.

Art has been a big focus for the first couple weeks of term as we have been preparing our pieces for the Honey Fair art competition. The theme for Year 5 and 6 this year is Big Cats so we have been experimenting with different materials to create big cat fur patterns. Alongside art, we have been learning about how to use search engines and how to identify reliable sources of information on the internet. And in French, we have been learning how to introduce ourselves, ask and explain how we are feeling and what our name is.

September in Year 3 - What a Fantastic Start!

Copper valley Junior Academy | Year 3

We've had a busy and exciting start to the school year! In English, we've been diving into Stig of the Dump by Clive King. The children have loved exploring the adventures of Stig and Barney and even wrote their own creative chapters about a brand-new adventure the two characters might have. In Maths, we've been sharpening our place value skills and stretching our understanding of numbers up to 1000. It's been great to see everyone's confidence growing! Our History focus has been the big question: How did we survive before metal? We've travelled back in time to the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, learning about early homes, tools, weapons, and how people used nature to live. The children really enjoyed creating their own triorama Stone Age homes. In RE, we've been learning how Christians follow God through stories and messages in the Old Testament. In French, we've started with the basics-greeting each other with a friendly "Bonjour!" PE has been all about football, developing our control, teamwork, and ball skills. And in DT, we looked at seasonal foods, then rolled up our sleeves to bake delicious treats for our Bake Sale! It's been a great month-well done, everyone!

Pre-school

Duloe C of E Primary Academy | Pre School

Preschool is taught by Natalie and Sam along with Teighan our Nursery Apprentice.

What are the aims of our Pre-School?

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage** (EYFS) Principles from birth to age five.

In doing this we aim:

• To have happy, fulfilled and motivated children.

• To provide a stimulating environment for children to explore with their play and to learn from their experiences.

• Supporting Learning

• Transition to School

• Play and Exploration

What is the Early Years Foundation Stage? This is how the Government and Early Years professionals describe the time in your child's life between birth and age 5. This very important stage in your child's development helps them get ready for school, as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes.

From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years' experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure and support their development, care and learning needs
