CURLEWS

Today we bid a sad farewell to our Curlews 2019 class.  It has been an absolute honour and privilege to be their class teacher this year.  I have very many happy memories from this year and wish all the pupils all the best in their new schools.

As part of our secondary transition programme we were invited to spend a morning in the science labs at Newquay Tretherras school.  After having planned an investigation at school, we were able to use the lab and the secondary school equipment with the support of Mrs Ellis-Davis, the Science lead at Newquay Tretherras. The investigation…

This write up from Cassie explains the ingredients and which part of the blood each represents. After everything was mixed together, pupils had the chance to enjoy…

This morning we took part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch.  We spent a session outside and counted the number of birds that we were able to spot.  The results were then sent to RSPB to enter into their annual survey. Then, this afternoon we were entertained by Craig from Squashbox Theatre who performed the…
