REMEMBRANCE DAY – We will remember them. Today, our children took time to reflect on Remembrance Day and remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. Throughout the school, the children took part in a range of creative activities. They made beautiful poppy wreaths, designed their own poppy keepsakes, created silhouette artwork and wrote poems. Some of our school representatives also took on the responsibility of selling poppy merchandise across the school, helping to raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. We also came together as a school community to observe a two-minute silence, giving everyone an opportunity to pause, reflect and remember those who lost their lives in conflict. Lest we forget

This weekend, we were incredibly proud to see so many of our students representing their organisations at Remembrance Day parades and services across Cornwall. Our students demonstrated our school values of Respect, showing maturity and commitment as they honoured those who have served and sacrificed for our country. They were wonderful ambassadors for their organisations, our school and their local communities. A reminder that Mount Charles students involved in uniformed youth organisations are warmly encouraged to attend our annual Remembrance Ceremony this Wednesday, wearing their full colours. This is a special and longstanding school tradition, providing an opportunity for our community to come together in remembrance. Thank you to everyone who took part over the weekend. You should be extremely proud of your contribution. Lest We Forget.

Seashell Class have loved taking their learning outdoors over the last few weeks! 🍂🍁 We were excited to visit Butterfly Woods for the first time, where we took part in a variety of outdoor activities, including watercolour painting, hunting for natural treasures, and searching for signs of autumn. As part of our learning, we discovered that during autumn the weather becomes cooler, leaves change colour, and many begin to fall from the trees. After spotting plenty of autumnal changes around us, we all agreed that autumn has definitely arrived!

After reading their drawing club story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' Seahorse class followed a recipe to make their very own porridge. The children identified the numbers, sounds and pictures on the recipe and used this knowledge to support their instruction reading. Once the porridge was cooked the children chose what topping they wanted - sugar, banana, honey, pear or jam. Together, the children sat and enjoyed tasting the porridge. They discussed what the porridge looked, tasted, smelt and felt like using their senses.

🔬🦎 Science in Year 4! 🐟🦋 This week, Year 4 have moved on from classifying LEGO to exploring how we classify animals and even aliens! 👽 The children have been learning to group animals into mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and insects, carefully discussing their characteristics and using their scientific knowledge to decide which group they belong to. Working collaboratively in teams, they used classification keys and codes to identify different animals and aliens by answering questions about their features. 🐾 It's been fantastic to see them developing their observation skills, scientific thinking and understanding of how living things can be grouped and classified! 🌟
