Today the whole school enjoyed a range of wellbeing activities run by Arena sports coaches. The children participated in sessions including: yoga, water games, clay sculpting, team games and orienteering. The day was a great success and the children had an amazing time.
Thank you very much to Mrs Hooper who entered Duloe into a competition run by Twinkl to celebrate schools who went the extra mile during lockdown! The tea, coffee and treats have gone down very well in the staff room!
For the first time since lockdown, we held Collective Worship in St Cuby's church this week. It was great to be back in our local church. We listened to the parable of the sower and sang hymns as a school family once again.
One of our Year 5 children painted a stunning country landscape this week. She used a range of brush strokes and the way the colours complimented each other was brilliant.
Three incredibly artistic children from Duloe, with the help of some members from the local community, decorated St Cuby's Church this week with some magnificent flower decorations.
The children all made their own displays using a variety of flowers.
We would like to say a huge thank you to the children who have brightened up the church wonderfully.
Class 1 had a very interesting visitor this week as they were joined by a boa constrictor (Turbo and Giggle were kept well out of the way). The children learnt about the snakes diet and its natural habitat.
One of the best things about our bubbles popping is that we have been able to start our shared reading across the whole school. The children love reading to people from different classes and it fosters the family feeling within the school.
The EYFS outside area has also changed to create a role play area based on the story of 'The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch'. The children have Mrs Grindle's cottage to play in, a boat to sail in and even a pulley system to deliver the lighthouse keepers lunch!
Class 3 have had a delivery of new books provided by the Cornwall Library Service which all relate to their topic this half-term, 'What did the Greeks do for us?'
This half-term, Class 3 and Class 1 are lucky enough to be working alongside our Arena sports coaches. The children will be learning a range of athletics skills. This week we looked at running and how to build our stamina.
Bubbles have popped! We are delighted that our three bubbles have popped at Duloe and now all the children can play with each other at playtimes as well as having Collective Worship back together again. The children have loved mixing together again and it has made the school feel more like its normal self!
As part of our 'What did the Greeks do for us?' topic, we made the ancient Greek recipe 'Baklava'.
We linked our learning in maths with our design and technology knowledge, using ratio to scale up and scale down the baklava recipe.
