Alternative Sports Day 



Children from Duloe and Pelynt took part in an alternative sports day at Looe Academy this week. The children got to try a range of sports including: fencing, archery and segway riding. The children competed alongside 13 other schools and children from Pelynt did particularly well in winning the most ‘sporting’ team of the day by encouraging others and helping children from different schools

 


Religious Education 



In Lansallos Class these last two weeks, we have finished off our PSHE unit thinking about how to make healthy choices. We created a recipe for a 'Healthy Me' and ended the unit with a debate on whether social media has a positive impact on our lives. 




We have also had an RE focus where we have been learning about a Christian view of God. We analysed religious texts to find examples of how Christians view God and discussed what it means that Christians see God as loving and holy. We learnt about how churches and cathedrals are designed in the glory of God and thought about how to encourage a new congregation. The children reflected on various religions and unpicked why people choose to live the way they do regarding their faith. We also discussed those who don't follow a specific religion and reflected on our own beliefs. The children created a piece of artwork each, depicting how they see a Christian view of God; they wrote a reflection to go alongside it as seen below. 


 


Religious Education 



Following on from our RE learning last week about ‘Why does Easter matter to Christians?’, Lantic Class have been designing and making a moving Easter card in their DT lessons. We began by looking at moving books and the mechanisms they used, including, flaps, levers and sliders. We explored different mechanisms by making them ourselves – we made a lever, a slider, a wheel and a pivot. We then designed and made our own moving Easter card to give to a member of our family; we used a lever and pivot mechanism. We hope you like them!


 


Cross Country Final 



Congratulation to Elsa who qualified to take part in this year’s cross country final. She went to Newquay on Tuesday to race against finalists from across Cornwall. She ran a brilliant race coming 38th in the Year 6 girl’s race.


 


Easter Egg Hunt 


Thank you to FOP's for organising and running our Easter egg hunt. The children had a lovely afternoon working out answers to all the questions.  

 


Talland Class 



Talland Class have enjoyed quiet a lot of outside learning during the last few weeks. We have been investigating the pond during forest school and making dens.

As part of our PE lessons we have been practicing throwing and catching focusing on distance, accuracy and catching.

As part of geography, we investigated what are the differences between a hamlet, town and city, whilst also listing all the cities we have visited.







 


Spring in Pre-School 



Children in pre-school have been discovering all the wonderful changes that Springtime brings.  They have used their five senses to discover what they could see, hear, taste, smell, and touch.

With some visits to forest school, we have been keeping an eye on the pond and were rewarded with seeing hundreds of tadpoles. We have also spotted lots of spring flowers and listened to the birdsong from our garden area.

Our final week seen some fun Easter activities, with water colour painted eggs, an Easter picture hunt to win a chocolate egg, some easter baking and card making has also been enjoyed

 


#PelyntLightning 


The East Cornwall Harriers cross-country series of races has come to an end for another season. All the children photographed opposite have represented the school over this season and have done an excellent job. Well done Pelynt Lightning!

 


Football Success 

Pelynt went 1-nil in the early minutes of the game at home against St Germans. They quickly levelled the score and went on to win 5-3. A change in line-up saw and change in goalkeeper and a display that the opposing coach described increasing 'getting better throughout the game'. Well done Pelynt. 


 


World Book Day 


It was wonderful to see all the children dressed up as their favourite characters on World Book Day. All the classes had a great day focusing on ‘reading for pleasure’ and delving into the magical world of reading.
