What a super afternoon we have had celebrating the graduation of our nursery children! In September, our school nursery opened for the first time and we would like to thank all our nursery children and their families for a fantastic year together. They are the rising stars of our school and we could not be prouder of them and all they have achieved this year. Superstars!

This term, Year 6 have been working hard to rehearse and perform their end of year production: We're All Going On a Summer Holiday. The children put on a wonderful show to their families during an afternoon and evening performance. They learnt multiple songs, all their lines and were in charge of set design and sound. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and we definitely have some future actors in the making. Well done Year 6!

Year 5 'Strathen' Poetry Cup 2025 - A fantastic set of poems were sent away to be judged by the Strathen family for this year's competition. The poems were all based around the theme of Ancient Egypt. They ranged from shape poems to narrative poems and rhyming poems. The six finalists were: Sennen, Luisa, Riley O, Kimberly, Logan and Sam. Each finalist received a rather nice pen as a prize for their efforts. The overall winner, receiving the prestigious trophy and a special booklet commemorating Katherine Strathen's creative writing was Logan. All the finalists can be proud of their poems and did a wonderful job of reading them out in a special assembly, continuing the long-standing tradition in memory of Katherine Strathen.

Year 1 visited Newquay Zoo for their current topic 'Paws, Claws and Whiskers'. The children explored the entire zoo and enjoyed seeing all the animals from the squirrel monkeys to the penguins. We enjoyed a workshop, from a zookeeper, which focused on different animal skeletons and included some fun facts about different animals around the zoo. The beautiful weather really made this a memorable experience for the Year 1 children.
