Huge congratulations to our Futsal team who represented the school at a competition at Looe Secondary School this week. Not only did they come second in the tournament, they also represented the school incredibly well. Our Christian Values were demonstrated in abundance. The feedback from the staff at the event was wonderfully positive about our children, Well done team and thank you. 

A huge congratulations to the Cross Country team who represented the school so incredibly well this week. They showed a great competitive spirit aw well as  demonstrating wonderful sportsmanship. Awesome work!

To commemorate Remembrance Day, Class 3 wrote poetry from the perspective of a soldier in the trenches during the Great War. The children read their poems in church and created a display within school.

Thank you to you all for your kind donations towards the Poppy Appeal.

As part of our Remembrance Day activities, Class 3 wrote poetry from the perspective of a soldier who was in the trenches during the Great War. To help them understand what it felt like to be a soldier, the children had the opportunity to dress up in modern-day military outfits and try ration packs. The children were amazed by the weight of the bullet proof vests, but were less impressed by the army rations! 

For Children in Need this year, the children raised money by having a non-uniform day. There were some fantastic outfits with spots and pyjamas galore! Thank you all for you fantastic generosity towards this wonderful cause. 

Every Friday children from Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 receive violin lessons led by a music teacher from the Cornwall Music Service. The children are making wonderful progress with their playing. They are learning how to read music as well as play their instruments. We certainly have some classical stars of the future! 

Class 1 were lucky enough to have a visit from a real life superhero.

Ella the guide dog came to meet us with her owner Heather and we found out about how Ella helps Heather to live her life.  

We all got to ask Heather questions and wanted to find out "How does Ella drive the car?", "How does Ella do the shopping?" and "Can she do the washing?".

Ella is only 2 1/2 years old and will stay with Heather until she is 10.  She was very calm and let everyone stroke her and give her tummy a tickle

This week we hosted our very first 'Holy Hangout' club. Rev Chloe is holding the club every Wednesday lunchtime and children of all ages are welcome to attend. The club will be a mixture of craft activities, games and planning by the children for our Collective Worship, both in school and at the church. We would like to say a huge thank you to Rev. Chloe for volunteering her time to work with the children. 

For our November 'First Wednesday Worship' the children have helped Rev. Chloe re-design the order of service. Children led the worship through giving readings and prayers to the congregation. Rev. Chloe spoke about  Remembrance Sunday and we focused our thoughts on peace. 

Musician Matt Douglas joined Class 2 today to carry our a music workshop. The children enjoyed creating their own lyrics and then composing music to go alongside. The children demonstrated what fabulous singers they were and we look forward to welcoming Matt back soon, to finish off the children's masterpiece!  

A huge congratulations to Lilia in Class 3 who has won the 'Artist's Commendation Award' in the Christmas card competition organised by the Truro Diocese. All the children within the school entered the competition and the judges were very impressed by their creativity. 

This week, Class 3 were luck to enough to have a dance workshop with a professional dance teacher, Stephanie Fisher. The children learnt a dance routine and played a number of games. Stephanie will be running a dance club after school every Wednesday after school for KS2. If you would like more information please visit the school office.

Our first 'Creative Day' of the year was a huge success and the children got to enjoy a number of engaging activities throughout the day. A huge thank you to all of the teachers for preparing these fantastic activities. 

Mr Webster, from Looe Secondary School, visited this week to carry out a PE lesson with Year 3. The children had a wonderful time and were able to take part in a number of fun games. 

We finished off the first half-term of the year with a wonderful Harvest Service at St Cuby's. Classes 1, 2 and 3 all performed as well as music from our flute and saxophone players.

There was standing room only in the church and a considerable donation to the Liskeard and Looe food-bank was given. Thank you for your kind generosity. 

As part of our Gold Membership with the Cornwall Library Service, the library van arrived at school today and we were able to exchange 60 old books for 60 brand new books.

As part of the service, the team from the Cornwall Library Service will also be helping us to redesign our current library. Watch this space...

Huge congratulations to all those children who received their White Band today for reading 15 times at home. It has been fantastic to hear the children talk in such an excited manner about reading at home. Hopefully those who are not quite there will receive their bands next week and we look forward to handing out Yellow Bands for 30 reads soon

We were  very excited this week to receive over £5,000 of new books and resources to help your children read at school. We would like to say a huge thank you to the Kernow English Hub for their financial support and the training they are providing at Duloe

It was an absolute pleasure to take this group of children on the annual Year 6 Bowling trip to St Austell this week. We had great fun and even though some of them had never been bowling before they managed to clock up some great scores. 

Thank you to the staff who drove the children and also enjoyed bowling too - Mrs White and Mrs Wright came joint last place, Mrs Hoskins did quite a bit better!!!

We all sat together, had food and drinks and then played on some of the games.
You were a credit to the school.

Chris Husk, from the Liskeard and Looe Methodist Circuit, is retiring from doing school assemblies after many years of visiting Duloe and other local schools. 
Chris is a wonderful story teller and the children enjoyed all her assemblies. She started in Duloe in 2007 and  always came prepared with resources, tales, hymns and prayers. She had all the children entranced by her stories and she will be missed. Chris was a teacher in Duloe School for five years in the 1970s. The children made her lovely cards and presented her with flowers. Thank you Chris for your many years of dedication.

Congratulation to our School sports team who on Monday night came second in the Area Sports event at Liskeard school. The team acquitted themselves fantastically. 
The girls team especially performed to a very high standard winning many of their events. 
Special mention goes to Pippa who won the 600m race having stepped in at the last moment to represent our school. Many younger children stepped in to fill places in older year groups when we didn't have enough athletes.
We were very proud of our team who showed responsibility, determination, excellence and enthusiasm throughout the whole evening.
Fabulously well done everyone.
