Mount Charles Primary School

This term, Year 3 have been inspired by the work of Jackson Pollock, exploring his famous drip and splatter techniques. Using these energetic methods, the children created their own dramatic volcano paintings, experimenting with warm colours like reds, oranges and yellows to capture fiery eruptions. They also learned about scale and perspective to make their artwork bold and impactful. The children thoroughly enjoyed expressing themselves and produced some fantastic, vibrant pieces!

Year 6 London Residential Highlights Lots of our Year 6 children had an unforgettable time on their recent residential trip to London! From a thrilling behind-the-scenes tour at Warner Bros. Studio (discovering how Harry Potter was made ) to enjoying dinner in lively London restaurants, every moment was packed with excitement and new experiences. They explored famous museums and galleries, seeing artwork linked to their learning, visited either the Houses of Parliament or the Churchill War Rooms to deepen their history knowledge, and were amazed by the fantastic Matilda musical . A trip to the Science Museum brought their curriculum to life through hands-on activities, and a visit to a gurdwara gave them valuable insight into Sikhism. Here are just a few of the wonderful things the children said: "This is a dream come true! I never want to leave." (National Gallery) "London is amazing – it's just so different from home." "When I'm older, I want to study drama so I can do that." (Matilda) "We are so lucky to be here – there's so much to see and learn about." (Parliament visit) We are incredibly proud of how well the children represented our school. Their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and politeness were even praised by members of the public What an amazing trip filled with memories that will last a lifetime!

Seahorse class had a wonderful morning at St Austell Library. During the visit the children learnt that if they register for a library card it is free of charge and you can borrow up to 18 books for 3 weeks. While at the library, they enjoyed listening to a range of stories and added actions to these. They had a turn at checking books in and out using the machine and even made their own reading badges to take home.
