YEAR 2 SWIMMING GALA

Year 2 made a splash in the pool as they took part in their annual swimming gala. It was a lovely atmosphere with lots of cheering and clapping from the sidelines from peers and parents, who it was wonderful to welcome back to the school grounds for this event.

The children bravely showed great confidence and courage in the water, trying their best in the races. There was lots of great swimming, making the races so close.

CURIOSITY FLOURISHING FOR CASTLE BEACH TRIP

Year 2 made the most of the sunshine as they headed to Castle Beach in Falmouth for their beach trip.

Castle Beach is a fantastic place to enjoy our Cornish coastline as it changes so dramatically with the tides, leaving some excellent rock pools to explore. The children loved uncovering their hidden treasures and learning about the plants and animals that live in them.

TERRIFIC TRIP TO TREVAUNANCE

Reception embarked on an exciting trip to Trevaunance Cove armed with their buckets and spades.

EGGS, SPOONS AND FUN GALORE AT PRE-PREP’S SPORTS DAY

It was a truly glorious morning, with courage, determination and sportsmanship on display in abundance. There was a hotly contested 30m and 50m sprint, the tricky animal pick-up, bean-bag relay and, of course, the egg-and-spoon race to name but a few events.

Well done to everyone who took part, and a big thanks to all of the staff and parents who made this event possible and cheered on the children so heartily. A special thank-you and well done to our tremendous Year 4 helpers, who ensured the morning ran smoothly.

PICNIC IN THE WOODS

In preparation for their exciting beach trip, Reception spent their lunchtime in the School woods.

The group enjoyed a packed lunch around a campfire, followed by some outdoor learning in the woods.

The children were encouraged to explore their outdoor environment and showed fantastic curiosity.

NURSERY TRIP TO LAPPA VALLEY

Nursery embarked on an exciting adventure for their first school trip. The children got to enjoy four train rides throughout the day, which was equally exciting as the coach journey there. The day also consisted of a picnic lunch and some outdoor playing all before listening to ‘The Magic Train Ride’.

Everyone had a great day out, and the children were amazing!
