This week’s focus is on Year 6 Eden Project

visit. On Tuesday 14th March

we visited the Eden Project.

When we arrived we met with

Rosie she

introduced us to the Eden Project

and how it was

made. We then

split into

groups. First we went into the

Rainforest

biome it was so hot there was even a

cool off room. Then we went into the

temperature biome and looked at all

of the different plants. Did you know

that cactus have prickles to stop

animals eating

them. It was

then lunch and I

was so hungry.

We enjoyed it so much I hope we can

visit the Eden Project again. Thank you to Eden Project.

Football Tournament

On Wednesday 15th March the football

team travelled to Redruth School to

play in their local tournament. Quickly,

we walked to the field and started to

warm up. Our first games was against

Lanner. Straight from the kick off, we

started to dominate with great passing

and amazing set pieces.; We ended the

game winning 4-0.

Next up we played Pennoweth School which turned out

to be our toughest game of the tournament. However

we still came away with a 2-0 victory.

After this tough game. We then faced Treleigh School.

Despite us winning out last two games comfortably, we

started slowly again this team only scoring once in the

first half. After a good team talk we came out with

stamina and scored a further 3 goals winning 4-0.

Before we knew it, it was our final game. After a

comfortable first half we decided to mix the team up a bit

with a change that could affect the whole game. Ethan came

out of goal and was very close to scoring.

We finished the tournament in first place and now we are

going through to the second round at Penryn School.

Bling up your bike

On Wednesday 15th March all

of our children were given the

opportunity to bring in their

bikes or scooters. Dave from Sustrans was very kind to come in and help our

children bling up their bike or scooter. Check out the

results. They look amazing.

Comic Relief

Comic relief is happening next Friday and their are a number of ways we as a school are raising money. We have already raised £ 200 through the selling of red noses, which unfortunately we have now sold out of. If your child still wishes to have a red nose they are available in the majority of supermarkets. To begin our comic relief fundraising we will be having a red nose Fun run on Thursday 23rd of March during lunch time to raise awareness. The children will wear their noses and other funny head accessories and run along the rugby field. This is a free to enter event and all we ask for is your support. Then we will be having a non school uniform day on Friday the 24th of March where we will be dressing up as what/who we want to be when we are older. We will ask for a 50p donation for the non school uniform. The third way we are raising money for comic relief is by setting up a stocks and allowing children to throw water balls at staff. It will cost 20p a ball or 1£ for 6. This will happen on top playground at lunch time on the Friday.

On Thursday 16th March our cross

country runners took part in the next

round of races at Newquay School. Josh,

Dylan and Tia ran exceptionally well on

a very tough course. Well done to you

all for getting so far with difficult

conditions on each course in each

round.

Well done to you all.

Cross Country

Well done Michelangelo for his commendation for playing a piano solo in a Jazz Style and

obtaining 86 marks. The adjudicator stated that Michelangelo ‘conveyed true character with

good dotted rhythms and well coordinated hands. The tempo

remained pleasantly even. A

promising player.’

Well done Michelangelo!! A wonderful achievement

“I had been practising a lot before the music festival and was

quite nervous. Me and mum went to Truro to the Wesley Hall for the music festival. There

were six other children taking part in the Jazz group. When it was my turn I got up and felt

really nervous as I thought I might make a mistake. Once I

started playing I forgot about my nerves and played my piano

piece which was ‘Creepy Crawly’ by Peter Gritton. Someone had

told me I would be fine as long as I didn’t look back and it

worked.

After the performance I felt really good as I came second overall

with 86 points and the girl who came first who was 16years old

scored 87. Maybe next year.” Written by Michelangelo.

Big Pedal

The Big Pedal is starting on Monday!

From the 20th to the 31st of March we are

taking part in the UK's largest inter-school

cycling and scooting challenge. Each day we will

record a tally of how many children, parents and siblings scoot or

cycle to school.

Our best 5 days will be entered for our chance to win scooter and

stunt shows or storage for bikes. There will be prizes every day for

the class that cycle the most. And a prize

for the child who travels actively the

most over the Big Pedal.

We would like to remind parents the entrance to our school is at the front of the

building just off Falmouth Road and not the door from the playgrounds at the back of

school. Before school is a very important time for teachers to ensure that they are

well prepared for the start of the school day. If you need to speak to a member of

staff before school please come to the main reception at the front of the school.

The office will deal with any queries at the reception window and if appointments are

needed will be able to assist in making those for you. If you do come in from the

infant school entrance you are able to access reception by walking around the side of

the building.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.

‘Heartbreak Productions, together with Mr. Spud and his son, Joe, would like to

invite you to a garage sale (they used to own

500 garages) where they will be selling their

final belongings to raise some money to buy

food. The Formula 1 racing car has already

been taken by the bailiffs, but there might be

something interesting left. Bring your picnics,

blankets and fold up chairs and come to the

helicopter pad outside at Bumfresh Towers to

hear the story of how Mr Spud made his bil-

lions and lost it all... and how Joe became the

richest boy in the world.’
