With the unseasonably warm weather, Preschool had a nice cooling activity today. Items were frozen inside blocks of ice, the children then used hammers and picks to dig out the items inside. Once they had completed the activity the children requested sponges so they could wash the cars and tractors. A lovely day in the sun!
Class 2 have
been exploring where and how a variety of ingredients are grown. They then
cooked with some of the ingredients they had been learning about and made these
delicious honey and cinnamon biscuits. Recipe attached for anyone who would
like to try.
This half-term Class 2 is
having Forest School sessions with Mrs Edwards on a Thursday afternoon
(Class 3 will have Forest School during the next half-term). This week the
children looked at flower and leaf printing using muslin cloth and a hammer.
Children from Duloe and Pelynt took part in an alternative sports day at Looe Academy. The children got to try a range of sports including fencing, archery and segway riding. The children competed alongside 13 other schools and children from Pelynt did particularly well in winning the most ‘sporting’ team of the day by encouraging others and helping children from different schools.
On Friday, 12 children from Duloe travelled to St Neot Primary School to see a performance by the Devon Youth Folk Music Group. They were taught about the different musical instruments and were treated to some songs and dances which celebrate Cornish and Devonian heritage
Our super Year 6 students were all presented with a copy of 'It's Your Move' this week, courtesy of Truro Diocese. The book provides the children with advice about transition to secondary school and how to relish the opportunity.
Bishop David has recently been announced by Downing Street as our next Bishop of Truro. The diocese are now preparing for his official welcome and they wished for children and young people to play a special part in his welcome service. A display will be made at Truro Cathedral and schools were invited to submit art work which welcomes Bishop David and shows why our school is special. Two of our very talented artists used their collage skills to create a masterpiece to send for the display. It includes our school vision, values and our school parable 'The Parable of the Lost Sheep'.
The service takes place at Truro Cathedral on Saturday 17 May.
Class 1 have been looking at Bible stories from
Holy Week and Easter. As part of their learning, they made hot cross buns which
they learnt was symbolic of the significant day in Christian faith when Jesus
was crucified.
Class 3 have been exploring
the concept of collage, they created a ‘mood board’ of ideas and different
techniques. In their final piece they will make a wild west wanted poster, they
will combine pattern, tone and shape for effect and justify why they have
chosen specific materials and methods.
