After hearing about someone else shaving their head for charity, Oscar from Class 8 decided that he wanted to join in. Oscar has raised £160 (including £20 of his own pocket money) to buy Easter eggs for the children and staff working on the children’s ward at the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Oscar and his mum purchased and delivered them earlier this week. Sainsbury’s were wonderful and gave them £60 worth of free eggs – so they are donating this additional money to the Air Ambulance as Oscar has his name on the new helicopter and is an avid fan. Well done, Oscar, so thoughtful and we hope your head is not too cold without all that lovely blonde hair! Here’s a picture of the ‘before’ and ‘after’!

We celebrated ‘Word Book Day’ with our very first ERIC event (Everyone Reading in Classrooms).
Parents of children throughout the school (not just in Foundation Stage) were invited to come in and enjoy a selection of books and stories with their children.
We concluded the day with a creative session which focused on fashioning our favourite book characters out of potatoes!

Forty -five saffron buns in a baker’s shop,
Golden and sweet with some currants on the top,
Along game Foundation Stage with a penny one day,
Bought a saffron bun and took it away!
Happy St. Piran’s Day!
Thank you to Rowes Bakery in Victoria Square for supplying these delicious treats.

Since returning from our half-term break, we have been exploring the exciting theme of spring. We have been looking for signs of spring around us and writing and drawing what we see, counting chicks in their nest and exploring books about the change in season.
Our ‘Pancake Café’ role-play area has been rather busy too, especially on Shrove Tuesday where the children have been fashioning pancakes out of play dough and creating collages depicting their favourite toppings.
The children of course enjoyed the real thing by decorating pancakes to enjoy during afternoon snack!

Year 2’s are learning a Cornish dance run by the  Cornish dance school. Dressed in their black, white and gold they look just the part. Happy St. Piran’s Day!

In science we have been asking questions about seeds. We enjoyed cutting up fruit and vegetables to find the seeds.

To celebrate the end of our topic on food, we invited our parents in to taste a sample of food that we cooked from around the world.

Well done to the group of year 2’s who took part in the multi-skills festival at Penair today. They set themselves challenges, had lots of exercise and lots of fun!
