It was great to see so many of you at sports day on Tuesday – thank you for coming. We were very proud of the way the children joined in, competed and supported each other and of the leaders who ran the morning so well. 

Sports Day House Points We added up the house points from the sports day races and awarded others to pupils for exceptional effort, enthusiasm and determination (well done to Jack G, Bayley, Leo, Casey, Hamish, Rosie G, Callum, Thomas, Kai and Dom). The final scores were Chestnut 49; Ash 77; Oak 92 and Willow 102. Congratulations Willow.

Football Success After a busy sports day and swimming lessons in the afternoon, our football team traveled to Burraton School in Saltash where they played their best match of the season. They worked together as a team, attacking and defending as one. Player of the match was Jack C who was also Captain. Final score Polperro 4 - Burraton 1.

Bridge School Games To round off a very successful sporting week, we heard yesterday that we came 2nd overall in the Bridge School Games out of 15 schools. Well done Polperro, another great effort!

Squashbox Theatre Company Today we had a visit from the Squashbox Theatre Company who performed their hilarious and informative ‘The Sea Show’. The visit was kindly funded by the Polperro Arts Foundation.

Garden Update Everything is growing really well in the greenhouse thanks to hard work by our volunteers Mr and Mrs Peters and Gardening Club children with Miss Randle and Mrs Taylor. Our tomatoes were served as part of our school lunch today. You are invited to look round the garden during our school fete (see below).

FOPS Summer Fete – Friday 19th July at 2pm FOPS are busily organising this year’s Summer Fete. Monday 15th July will be a MUFTI day where we will be asking for donations of an item matching your child’s house team colour to create hampers for raffles prizes. Children can wear their own clothes and this could include wearing their house colour. Please see attached posters for suggestions of what to send in for your child’s colour on the day.

TIME 2 MOVE Bookings are now online for Summer activities. Please see further details attached. This is a very busy half term with more exciting events coming up including Penhallow’s Beach Trip on Monday and the year 6 residential trip to the Ultimate Adventure Centre in North Devon next week. These and other important dates are on our events diary on this website.

Have a lovely weekend.

Penhallow Beach Trip!

I wanted to pop up a few photos to show you how much fun we had on our beach trip today! I will pop up a few more pictures later in the week. The children were all AMAZING!
I'm sure they will all sleep very well after our adventurous day. Well done Penhallow on a FABULOUS day!

Landaviddy have been very enthusiastic this week! We got into the swimming pool on Monday, which was fantastic! On Tuesday, we celebrated Sport's Day with the whole school. Everyone showed brilliant sportsmanship and determination in each of their races. Well done everyone for an excellent morning!

In Science this week, we planned an investigation to find out whether people with longer legs jump further. What do you think? As Geographers this week, we used a map to follow a route around the boundaries of the school. We had a fabulous time marking where we were going and using our maps to spot the features around us. We then sketched our own maps of the school and used a key of symbols. We also started a new unit in Art, where we will be looking at Printing. We began by using crayons to rub against different textures we could find outside. Next week, we will use these to create some repeated patterns. 

In Maths, we have been finishing off our work on Statistics. Year 2 had a go at applying their knowledge of block diagrams and pictograms, by drawing their own from data they collected on their classmates favourite fruits. Year 3 have been looking at the ways we can interpret data and explored two-way tables. 

In English, we have been busy designing our own mythical creatures, ready for a Polperro Legend, which we will be writing next week! We also created story maps by adapting 'The Cobbler and the Dragon' with our own ideas. 

Congratulations to Reuben and Jamie for being chosen as Landaviddy's People of the Week! And a big well done to Zac for achieving his 88 club this week! 

We hope you enjoy a lovely weekend! 

Mrs Wilkie, Mrs Phillips and Miss Bowden

Chaipel have had a lovely week this week, kickstarted by our Sports Day. We all demonstrated our school values, taking part not just for personal gain but for our House Teams. Well done to Willow who were our overall winners but each and everybody helped to gain points for their team!

English
Our crime-based narratives are in full swing and we are currently at the 'investigation' stage, where the detectives or sleuths (depending on which era the narrative is set in) are gathering their evidence! We hope to complete them on Monday. 

Maths
We have been learning about Area and Perimeter this week whilst some Y6s have been learning about Finance in the 'adult world'. A really important area and although they are finding it challenging, are thoroughly enjoying it!

Science
We have been experimenting with thermal insulation, this week, testing out various materials which couldact as a sleeve for keeping a cup of coffee hot. Silver foil-backed bubble wrap seemed to do the trick!

Art
Chaipel have been exploring Olympic pictograms throughout the years and have selected a sporting event, drawn its progression and then designed their own. They are currently creating a prototype out of pipe cleaners and tin foil, which they will then move onto creating a 3D sculpture out of clay. 

On Friday, the whole school were treated to a visit by the incredible SquashBox. He really entertained us and we all had an amazing time!

Residential for Y6s next week so if there are any last minute questions, then either find me on the gate at 3:15 or give the secretary a ring.

Homework Grid and Knowledge Web
I have attached the homework grid for this half term, linking to the them of Crime and Punishment as well as the Knowledge Web. Enjoy!

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday!

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary

We have enjoyed a wonderful time in Penhallow this week with so many fun things to talk about!

We had a FANTASTIC sports day on Tuesday and really hope you enjoyed it too! All of the children ran their races with enthusiasm and it was brilliant to see them all having so much fun, especially in our fun obstacle race. I think there may be lots of space hopper fun for many years to come!

On Tuesday afternoon we were tired after sports day but still managed an amazing art lesson. We learned all about weaving and we weaved our own under the water scene using paper, learning the new terms; warp and weft. The children wowed us with their amazing pieces!

In English, we are now writing up our final commotion in the ocean poems and the children have done a fantastic job thinking of rhyming pairs to add to their poem.

In maths, the Year 1s are doing brilliantly exploring numbers  and place value to 100. Reception are enjoying consolidating practical maths and this week we have been exploring mapping.

We enjoyed a great swimming lesson on Wednesday where we learned how to submerge our faces in the water confidently.

We were very lucky to have a visit from the Squash Box theatre company today who put on a brilliant show to entertain the school. This finished off our fun-filled week brilliantly and we can't wait to start another on Monday when we will venture out for the day to Talland Beach. Please remember that the children will need to come to school in appropriate clothing for the beach and wear sensible shoes for the walk down and up.
The children will also need cash if they would like an ice cream. (£1/£1.50with a flake). Please also remember to pack a drink, packed lunch (unless previously ordered) and sun cream. We really hope it will be a superb day of outdoor learning for the children and we can't wait!

Well done to the children that achieved a badge in 99 club this week:
11 Club: Max and Felix,
22 Club: Tommy and Ida,
33 Club: Sonny.

People of the Week in Penhallow this week were Hugh and Sonny. Well done for showing great examples of our School Values.

Enjoy a lovely weekend!

Mrs Taylor, Mrs G, Miss Colton, Miss C and Mrs Hodge.

TALLAND'S BLOG 28.6.24

This week has flown by in  hurry. 

We've had a wonderful afternoon as the children were lucky enough to get a performance from Squash Box where we learnt all about the sea. The children loved it. It was fun, informative and LOUD!

Maths:
Year 4 have been learning all about different shapes and their properties. Why not quiz them on their knowledge of shapes...
Year 5 have been converting measurements - I think it's time for them to get outside and measure some different areas of the school.

Writing:
We have been immersing ourselves with science fiction writing. The children have been using lots of different writing techniques to create a scene with lots of description.

Science:
We have begun to look at the earth, the sun and the moon. We found out why the earth is spherical. Well done Aristotle - what a clever scientist and philosopher he was. Why not ask your child the three significant facts he discovered to help prove his theory...

Art/Computing:
We are looking a printing this term. We began by creating a mood board on PowerPoint to brainstorm influential artists that can inspire us to create something amazing!

Well done to Nuala for passing her 88 club this week, and great work to Leo and Hamish for being spotted as our enthusiastic children of the week!

That's all from Talland. We hope you have a brilliant weekend.!

Signing off from Mr. Langley, Mr. Bishop and Mrs. Hodge.  

This week at nursery we have been exploring under the sea and answering our enquiry qurstion "Who lives under the sea?"
The cildren have enjoyed exploring the beach/under water tuft tray and have named and added different sea creatures to this. They have discussed going on holiday and we made passports for this.
At story time we have enjoyed exploring the story of "Rainbow fish" and turned our book area into an underwater area with the rainbow fish that the children helped to decorate. We have also been enjoying "Commotion in the ocean".

In phonics we have been exploring pirates and mermaids and have been matching objects with the same initial sounds. The children have been exploring the different sounds that their bodies make and have been exploring the sounds instruments make and comparing the noises that each makes.

In maths we have been finding objects up to 5, counting to 5 and beyond and practicing our mark making to represent these numbers.

We will continue exploring under the sea next week.

Have a lovely weekend

Julie and Sarah

Festival Fun and Olympic's Day!

It has been a fun-packed week in Landaviddy!

On Tuesday, we performed at the Polperro Festival School's Day. We had so much fun and enjoyed sharing with you the songs we had been rehearsing. Everyone had been working so hard and we were so proud of the part everyone played. It was a true whole class effort. Well done Landaviddy! 

The fun continued on Thursday, when we celebrated an Olympic's day by participating in a variety of different sports. Everyone tried their hand at fencing, javelin throwing, standing long jump and archery. In the afternoon, we split into coloured teams and enjoyed competing for the podium. Overall, it was a fantastic day and everyone demonstrated super sportsmanship and enthusiasm! Well done! 

In Maths this week, we have been learning about Statistics; how we can present and interpret date in different ways. Year 2 have been looking closely at tally charts, block diagrams and pictograms. Year 3 have been interpreting information from tables and presenting data by drawing bar charts.

English this week has focussed on rehearsing our story map for 'The Cobbler and the Dragon'. Can you remember any of the actions and the story? We will continue to practise this next week and begin designing our own characters for a legend set in Polperro!

Congratulations to Lowen for being Landaviddy's Person of the Week and a big well done to Reuben for his 44 and Emma for her 77 club badge! 

Sports Day - On Tuesday, it's sports day. Please can you make sure you have sun cream, a sun hat and a water bottle, as currently the weather forecast is predicting a hot day! 

We hope you have a super weekend!

Mrs Wilkie, Mrs Phillips and Miss Bowden

We have so much fun in Penhallow and this week was no exception! 

We loved being a part of the School's Festival Day and loved performing our Jellyfish Song to the crowds of Polperro! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! I was so proud of all of the children, particularly the children that chose to speak into the microphone with one of our Commotion in the Ocean facts!

We have enjoyed a very active week this week, taking part in the Olympic themed Bridge Games! The children have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in lots of different sporting activities! We have also been practising for Sports Day next week which we are very excited about!

In maths, we are continuing our learning of numbers up to 100 and reception are now consolidating all of their learning from a very busy Reception year!

In English, we are continuing our work on the book, What's the Commotion in the Ocean?

We look forward to seeing you at Sports Day on Tuesday. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit in school everyday. Sports Day starts at 10am. Please also ensure your child has a hat, drink and sun cream as it is looking like summer may finally be here!

Well done to our People of the Week this week! Mrs Hillman picked all of the children for their amazing efforts at the Festival this year. My 'Person' was Lowen for showing great examples of our school values, particularly enthusiasm! Ada and Felix were also picked for being enthusiastic in their learning! Well done!

Well done also to Lowen and Brody for achieving their next badges in 99 club this week! 

Remember to keep up with your daily reading, some children are 'flying' up through the reading bands with their extra practice, well done. There are extra opportunities for this and some interactive learning games on TwinklGO! I have sent an email this week with the updated codes (final ones for this year as these will last into the holidays).

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

Mrs Taylor, Mrs G, Miss Colton, Miss Cullingford and Miss Hodge.

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the School’s festival day on Tuesday. We are extremely proud of the way the children performed and have been delighted with your kind feedback about the children’s performances and the day. Thank you.

We had even more excitement yesterday with an Olympic Day for years 2-6 which involved the children learning Olympic Sports such as Fencing and Archery. The children have enjoyed participating in the Bridge Schools Games all week. Photos of the Games, the festival, and the Olympic Day are on the class blogs.
 
Sports Day will be held next Tuesday 25th June, starting at 10:00 am and ending at 12:00.  Please ensure your child has their kit in school and a sun hat and sun cream and a water bottle. The forecast looks good and we are looking forward to seeing you there.

It has been a fun-packed week in Chaipel this week. It began with the introduction to our Bridge School Games and everyone was excited to be involved. 

Polperro Festival School's Day on Tuesday was a roaring success, with many locals commenting on it being the best one yet! We had such positive feedback regarding the behaviour, positivity and 'excellence' of the children: real advocates to our values. Our performance of Goodnight Mr Hitler was incredible and all involved gave it their best. One very proud teacher here!

Thursday was a very sporty day. Three members of Arena visited the school to show us a range of alternative sports. We had a go at archery, fencing, javelin throwing and long jump, competing in teams representing the Olympic 'ring' colours in the afternoon. Well done to all competing but especially to the yellow 'Team Asia' for being the overall winners! 

We have really shown our values this week in competing in the Bridge School Games. Everyone has given 100% and thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the events.

In other area of our learning, we have been planning our crime-based narratives, writing sinister setting descriptions and planning our suspects, their alibis and the crime itself. I can't wait to see what Chaipel eventually write; the plans all look fabulous so far!

Y6 Parents
A polite reminder that we have a meeting at 3:15 on Monday to go over final preparations for our Residential the following week. I've attached a copy of the kit list below - no pillow or sleeping bag is needed as it is all provided!

Sports Day
Just to remind you all that our Sports Day is on Tuesday, starting at 10am. Please make sure that you have a sun hat, sun cream and water with you as the forcast (at the moment) is a hot one!

Thanks again, parents, for your support in making the festival so fantastic this year! 

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary.

WOW! What an awesome week it's been!

I think it's fair to say that the Polperro Festival was a raging success! As I'm sure you were - I was so proud of all the children! They performed fantastically. I was blown away! Thank you so much for helping your children to learn their lines and organising costumes. They looked brilliant!

We've also had Polperro Olympics Day AND The Bridge School Games this week! So much going on and I think the children have had a thoroughly good time. Hopefully they'll sleep well this weekend for you - I know I will!

Next week we have Sports Day on Tuesday 25th June so please make sure your child has all their PE kit and are ready and raring to go. I'm also looking forward to the parent race so make sure you have your sports gear on too!

 A huge well done to Tabbi and Nuala for earning their badge in 99 club and to Lily also, who has been noticed for being particularly enthusiastic this week! 

That's all from us in Talland class. We hope you have an amazing weekend!

Signing off from Mr. Langley, Mr. Bishop and Mrs. Hodge.

This week at nursery, we have been answering our enquiry question "Does everyone go on holiday?"
The children have been talking about their own experiences of going away on holiday, how they got to where they were going and what they did once they were there.
They have been busy creating paper plate beach balls and painting ice cream cones in the creative area.

In maths, we have been finding different objects to represent numbers up to 5, practicing our counting skills and writing numbers.

At story time we have enjoyed the story of "Sally and the Limpet" and "The train ride".
In phonics. we have been exploring words that start with the same sound, creating different voices and exploring mouth movements in the mirrors.

Have a great weekend

Julie and Sarah

It has been a wonderful week in Penhallow this week where we have continued to delve a bit deeper into our new enquiry; What is the Commotion in the Ocean.

Year 1s have done a super job in their Phonics Screening Checks this week and it is wonderful to hear and see their progress in their reading.

In English, we continue to look at rhyming words to write our own verse for the Commotion in the Ocean story.

In maths, reception have been investigating more into patterns and year 1s are now exploring numbers to 100.

We managed to squeeze in a swim this week and the children all had fun moving around the pool and looking a little more into floating. We also enjoyed an athletics lesson, where we tested our pace and realised that we would get very tired if we tried to run our fastest when running for longer periods of time. 

In Geography, we investigated where we lived and discovered the difference between a town, city or village. 

We began our new PSHE topic of 'Changing Me' and the children enjoyed learning about our body parts and lifecycles.

Well done to Iylah who received her 55 badge in 99 club this week! Keep practicing your KIRFs to ensure that your maths facts are embedded and recalled quickly; this will help you to succeed in 99 club! 

Well done to our 'People of the Week' this week for showing our school values. This term we focus on being enthusiastic in our learning. Dexter and Darragh were picked for showing super enthusiasm in their learning and I picked all of the Year 1s for being amazing in their Phonics Screening Checks!

We are looking forward to performing to you at the Polperro Festival on Tuesday and we have been busy learning our songs so we can 'wow' the crowds at the school day on the Big Green. We look forward to seeing you there!

This week is also a big week for sport at school, the Bridge School Games take place where children will be taking part in a variety of French themed activities. Please ensure PE kit is in all week and swimming kit will be needed if the weather is kind to us!

I have just updated the twinklGO! activities and extra reading opportunities so please pop on to have a go if you have any spare time over the weekend. This is all aimed at your child's relevant learning.

Enjoy a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday for another great week!

Mrs Taylor, Mrs G, Miss Colton, Miss Cullingford and Miss Hodge.

It's been another busy week, with performance practise and prop making well underway!

We launched our new enquiry 'What's On Our Doorstep?', thinking carefully about what we would like to learn this half term. In Geography, we revised compass directions and has a go at using 4 figure grid references. We've been spending time rehearsing for our 'rocking' Polperro Festival performance which is on Tuesday! We can't wait! Please continue to practise the songs and your speaking part! Links to the songs can be found in the previous blog post.

We have come to the end of Fractions in Maths. Year 2 have been working hard finding three-quarters of a set of objects and Year 3 have been applying pictorial strategies to find the non-unit fraction of an amount. We are ready to move on to the world of Statistics next!

English this week has involved lots of Polperro Festival rehearsal along with continuing to explore legends. We made predictions about the Polish legend we will be learning, 'The Cobbler and the Dragon' and today wrote descriptions of a dragon's lair using our senses.

Polite Reminder: Please can you ensure you are bringing your colour banded reading book in with you to school everyday. 

Congratulations to Summer and Anya for being Landaviddy's People of the Week.

We hope you have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

TALLAND'S BLOG 14.6.24

SUMMER 2 has kicked off and there's been loads going on already! 

I'm extremely pleased to say we have our final collage art pieces! They look fantastic! I can't wait for them to take them home for you to see!

Maths:
Year 4 have been measuring their way through length and perimeter. They have their post assessment next week... Eeeee!
Year 5 have been diving into position and movement. Why not ask them all about translation?

English:
Drama based - we have been rehearsing our production for Polperro Festival happening THIS TUESDAY! Hopefully you can make it. Talland have been working so hard. It really is looking fabulous!

Computing:
We've had a lot of fun using Excel this week. Children have been firstly, 'tinkering' on it to see what kind of madness they can create. Then, we have put our data from a science experiment into a spreadsheet and converted that data into a chart. The children have loved it and the finished results are excellent!

The Bridge School Games kick off next week. Could all children please make sure they have their PE kits in school ALL week. This is all about the up coming Olympic Games, Paris 2024. Date for your Diary: 26th July 2024 is when the Olympic Games start - I for one, CAN'T WAIT!  

For Polperro Festival, children have been asked to try and bring in some clothing which resembles Victorian School Children. Ideally plane white, black, brown or grey. Please, please, please DO NOT feel you need to buy anything for their outfit!
Boys: A plain shirt and trousers. Waist coat, top hat and braces if you have them - not a problem if not. 
Girls: A long plane dress or a plane shirt/blouse and long skirt. Or what ever you can find. There is no pressure what so ever!

A massive well done to the year 4's this week, who have completed their times tables checks. Every last one of them should be tremendously proud of themselves and a huge thank you to the year 5's for being so respectful to the year 4's throughout this week.

Finally, well done to Harrison and Tabbi for being nominated as writers of the week. Well done to Harley and Joey for being nominated as mathematicians of the week. Well done to Ashton and Thomas for being nominated as readers of the week.

That's all from us. We hope you have an incredible weekend.

Signing off from Mr. Langley, Mr. Bishop and Mrs. Hodge.
 

Chaipel Class are really immersing ourselves in our new enquiry, 'Did the Punishment Always Fit the Crime?' and this week, we have been investigating crime and punishment in Anglo-Saxon Britain. We have learnt about tithing, the wergild system of payment and some of the horrendous 'trials' that people accused had to endure whilst awaiting their time in court - guilty or not. We are very thankful for our modern-day justice system!

English
We have had a lovely week, learning about the features of crime-writing. We have looked into suspects, clues, red-herrings and motives/alibis. The children have thought about a period in history that they are basing their story around and have designed a fitting villain, writing a character descrption which really brings them to life! Their only criteria is for them to ensure that the crime committed links to the period and the punishment given. We have moved onto using AI to generate a setting for our crime-scene, which we will write about on Monday.

In Science, we are investigating states of matter and have begun by revisiting the properties of a solid, liquid and a gas. We will be separating, melting, evaporating, freezing and so much more...

Polperro Festival
Rehearsals are in full swing for Tuesday's festival. The children are working really hard and have created their own props too. Any final props from home need to be in on Monday, please. We are all super excited!

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

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary

This week we have continued to talk about superheroes. The children have painted paper plates to make shields and used different coloured tissue paper to decorate super hero masks.
They have enjoyed play in the construction themed role play area where they have been building with the duplo and large soft shaped bricks and fixing with the tools.

At story time we have continued exploring the range of “Supertato” stories.
In maths, we have been counting, ordering and writing numbers 1-5 and finding sprecial objects up to 5.

In phonics the children enjoyed having a go at rhyming bingo. They explored and tried hard when identifying initial sounds in words and we went on a listening walk in the playground before recording what we heard by drawing pictures.

Have a great weekend

Julie and Sarah
 

Chaipel Class have had a lovely first week back after half term.

We began, on Monday, with a visit from the NSPCC to give a talk to all Y5s and Y6s. The ladies were lovely and we really enjoyed the workshop.

English
We finished writing up our persuasive texts and shared our work with our peers who offered constructive advice and suggestions on how to improve our writing. Some wrote a letter to Mrs Hillman trying to persuade her to give Chaipel Class a 'Pool Party' at the end of term whilst other children wrote about the importance of daily reading - outlining the benefits to both attainment and positive mental health. These will be displayed as leaflets for all to read (in our school library) whilst Mrs Hillman will be receiving her persuasive letters next week...

Maths
Y5s have been working on reading and interpreting negative numbers whilst the Y6s have begun their second consolidation project entitled WHITE ROSE TOURS. They are applying all that they have learnt in Maths over their primary school years to real-life scenarios. This one being to study the climate of a range of popular holiday destinations. They will learn about the various aspects of planning a holiday, including airport and flight scenarios, hotel and budget planning.

Enquiry
We have begun to look into our final enquiry for this year, 'DID THE PUNISHMENT ALWAYS FIT THE CRIME OVER TIME?'
We will be looking into crime and punishment in Britain since the invasion of the Romans. This will lead to us writing our own crime-based narrative. The period the narrative will be set in is purely up to the individual and we are super excited to get started: we have already begun to design our own villain!

Swimming 
We will be swimming as much as we can from now until the end of term so please make sure that swimming kits are in every day.

Ice Pop Friday
Ice Pops will be on sale every week so remember to bring £1 in!

That's all from me, so enjoy the extended weekend and see you all on Monday!!
Miss Randle and Mrs Clary.
