Mount Charles Primary School

Our Year 6 children delivered a truly outstanding performance of 'Go for Gold', taking the audience on a hilarious and heart-warming journey from the modern-day Olympic Games back to Ancient Greece. Featuring Greek gods, legendary athletes and an inspiring message about perseverance, teamwork and striving to be your very best, the production was enjoyed by everyone. Their wonderful singing, brilliant character performances and excellent comic timing brought the story to life, keeping the audience laughing and entertained throughout. Despite performing during the challenges of the current heatwave, the children showed incredible resilience, dedication and professionalism, delivering fantastic performances from start to finish. We are immensely proud of the hard work they put into learning their lines, mastering so many brilliant songs and creating such a memorable show. A huge well done to all of our Year 6 children. You truly went for gold, and we couldn't be prouder!

Nursery Class have been learning all about the importance of staying cool and hydrated in the warm weather. We explored lots of ways to look after ourselves, including wearing our sun hats, drinking plenty of water and enjoying play in the shady areas of our outdoor environment. Our favourite activity was making delicious homemade slushies, which we enjoyed together in Butterfly Woods with our friends.

Year 3's Adventure at BF Adventure, Penryn! Year 3 had an amazing day at BF Adventure in Penryn, taking part in a fantastic range of outdoor activities, including climbing, archery, rafted canoeing and the Adventure Quarry team challenges. The children showed incredible courage as they tackled the climbing wall, worked brilliantly together to solve problems in the Adventure Quarry, enjoyed exciting games on the water during canoeing and learnt new archery skills. Throughout the day, they demonstrated fantastic teamwork, resilience and determination while encouraging one another every step of the way. We are so proud of how well the children represented our school with their enthusiasm, kindness and positive attitudes. A huge thank you to the team at BF Adventure for giving our Year 3 pupils such a fun, memorable and confidence-building experience!

A Wonderful Day Celebrating Our Young Carers! Yesterday, our Young Carers enjoyed a fantastic day at Poltair School's Young Carers Summer Event, joining children from across the Cornwall Education Learning Trust for an afternoon filled with fun, friendship and laughter. From giant inflatable slides and gladiator battles to crafts, games and a delicious BBQ, there were smiles all around! Most importantly, the event gave our young carers the chance to meet others who understand their experiences, helping them realise they are never alone. We are incredibly proud of our amazing Young Carers. Every day they show kindness, resilience and maturity beyond their years as they help care for loved ones at home. Yesterday was a chance for them to simply be children, make new friends and create some wonderful summer memories together. A huge thank you to Poltair School for hosting such a thoughtful and enjoyable event, and to everyone who helped make the day so special.
