Mount Charles Primary School

Whilst Year 1 were at Pendennis Castle, Year 2's spent their afternoon in 'The Shore'. The children spent some time beforehand planning their castles before building them in the sand. They created moats with the water and used the buckets to help with the towers. The children worked together as a team and amazed us with their fantastic creativity.

'Nursery have become gardeners this half term to welcome the new season of Spring! We have been inspired by our many key stories to plant our very own cress and beanstalks. The children have learnt how seeds travel, and that they need water, sunlight, and a whole lot of patience to be able to grow. We are so excited to watch these grow over the next few weeks!

Year 1 had an amazing visit to Pendennis Castle this week - for some children, this was their first visit to a castle so it was very exciting! We walked around the grounds and spotted St Mawes Castle on the other side of the estuary. We talked about why Henry VIII had these two castles built and used our history knowledge to discuss why he needed to defend England from invaders. We then dressed up as some of the people that might have lived in the castle during Tudor times and handled some objects to find out more about how they lived. We also explored the Tudor castle and really enjoyed looking at the cannons and the view from the battlements. What a brilliant day to help us learn about our local history!

The school councillors have been working closely with Caterlink, our school dinner provider, to help discuss and design the new Summer menu. They recently tasted two exciting dishes: Greek chicken pittas and a spinach and cheese whirl. The feedback on the food tastings was extremely positive. Children commented, "Can I have more please? This is so tasty!", "I don't normally like chicken, but I tried that and it is delicious." and "I love the range of flavours."

Happy World Book Day 2026! What a fantastic day we've had celebrating World Book Day at school! The corridors were filled with amazing characters, creative costumes, and a shared love of reading. From classic storybook heroes to modern favourites, it was wonderful to see so many pupils bringing their favourite books to life. Throughout the day, students enjoyed a range of activities including story time, book sharing, and exploring new authors. Each class also had a surprise reader join them to share a story, which made the day even more exciting! A huge well done to all our pupils for their brilliant costumes and enthusiasm, and a big thank you to our families for your support in helping make the day so special. Remember: a book can take you anywhere!
