Portreath Primary School Newsletter

Portreath is such a fortunate school because we have so many people in the community supporting the

school. Just in one week I feel I have so many people to thank. A huge thank-you to Danny Marsh for

organising such a fantastic surf cadet training day this week. Thank-you to all of the coaches who

created such an exciting day at the Portreath’s Surf Life Saving Club. The children were buzzing when

they came back to school. Thank-you to Lynsey for running Pilates on the beach sessions to raise

money for the school to buy netball posts and the PTA for supporting this too. Thank-you to Kelly and

the team who tidied and sorted Sarah’s Garden. Thank-you to Shoni Haswell who ran a really

interesting information session on children’s mental health. Thank-you to Leigh Frazer who came in

and ran a STEM workshop in Class 4. Thank-you to all the parents who brought in bags of clothes to

raise money for the PTA and to Rebecca McKenzie for organising this. Thank-you to Mr Allen who

dedicated an evening to tidying, sorting and developing Class 1’s outside area. As always thank-you

to all the staff for all their hard work and commitment. And thank-you to anyone I have missed out!

Over the last few weeks nine members of staff have visited Treloweth School to observe mastery style

maths lessons. Next year we will be adapting the way we teach maths and these observations have

helped us to clarify how these new style lessons could work. Miss Clarke is currently working with the

Cornwall Maths Hub and is excited about leading these changes at our school. Next year we are

planning to run some sessions for parents about how we teach maths. Maths teaching is something

that I am really passionate about as it is such as fascinating subject.

Rosemellin School to take part in a

rocket workshop run by the Crofty MAT.

Thankyou to Shoni who came into school on Tuesday evening for

our second Mental Health Information Session and thank-you to

those parents who attended. Shoni is going to give me details of

any courses that Value Lives are running at other venues which I

can pop on the newsletter. We have copies of the leaflet and the

powerpoint rom the first session available in the of-

fice if you would like a copy. For more information

about the work the charity does visit their website:

https://www.valuedlives.co.uk

Over the past few weeks Class 5 have been involved in

setting up and running their own businesses. On Tuesday

3rd July they will be holding their selling event for the items

they have produced. Please come along and support them.

Items being marketed will include key rings, home whittled

pencils, non plastic sandwich wraps, reusable drinks

bottles, driftwood mirrors, upcycled jam jars, slime and

calendars. Stalls will be open from 2:45 pm and will be

outside class 5 if dry or inside if wet.

PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION

We have had several reports over the last couple of weeks of a few drivers not taking due care around

school. Please be extra careful during drop off time as there are many children walking into school.

Also it is best if you park towards the village so that children do not have to walk across the entrance to

the carpark. Please also treat other drivers with respect, we do not want children witnessing any road

rage. Thank-you for your co-operation.

Tehidy Golf Competition

The children had a great

time at Tehidy Golf club

Portreath Primary School,

throughout the year,

distributes fliers and

magazines offering family

services or posts details of

local activities on the

newsletter. Whilst we

think that parents might

like the information and

find it useful, the school

does not endorse these

services.

Class 4 Assembly

Class 4 did a fantastic assembly today.

The Year 4 children shared their camp

experiences and Year 5 taught the

parents all about Growth Mindset.

Thanks to Mrs Price and Mrs Kerslake

for all their hard work with this. We are

hoping to put a copy of the camp photo

presentation on the website soon. We

just need to ensure we have permission

from all parents first. If you have

signed the updated permission form

this will cover it. It would be great to

put the growth

mindset work on too.
