Head of School Welcome

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome to our first newsletter of the new school year and what a start it's been! The children (and staff) loved their water sports at Swanpool with Elemental. It was great to see so many children push themselves out of their comfort zones and get stuck into the day. Clubs are back up and running, outdoor learning sessions are in full swing and new learning is taking place.

We've had a big revamp of some of our school spaces over the Summer and we're really excited to share with you our new sensory room. This was funded by a very generous donation from the Naval Children's Charity (please read on to see some photos). Our library has also had a complete overhaul and we have introduced a new reading system to support children in choosing books at the appropriate level for them.

Finally, we are really looking to increase our capacity within school for trips, special events and in class activities. One of the ways we can do this is with volunteers. If you would be interested in volunteering within the school, in any capacity, please come and speak with me. Perhaps you would like to hear readers for an hour a week or you would like to help with art lessons. The scope is endless and we're keen to hear what you might be able to offer.

Kind regards,
Mrs Swiggs

Nansloe's Sensory Room

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Naval Children's Charity for fully funding our brand new, bespoke Sensory Room. This is a huge asset for us at Nansloe and is already being used daily by individuals, groups and whole classes. This really wouldn't have been possible without their generous donation and we are beyond grateful.

Nansloe's Sensory Room

The charity are there to support any naval families in need and have a really helpful website that you can access if you would like to learn a little more about them. Naval Childrens Charity – Supporting Naval Children since 1825

If you are a service family and in need of additional support, please do reach out to them. There is a wealth of support available and we can help you to make contact if that's helpful - please just ask.

Library Revamp

We have revamped our library space this summer to make sure it's an inviting space to help promote a love of reading! Our library is for children across the whole school to enjoy and access. Please encourage your children to read at home and to change their books in school. Reading is so important to future learning!

Football Superstars

We have started our year in football with a team of Year 5 and 6 pupils taking part in a tournament at Helston Community College.

They played over two weeks with the first being the first time they had ever played together. They showed brilliant team spirit and worked well as a team. They won one match, drew one and lost one. With some brilliant saves by our goal keeper.

The second week consisted of a couple of hard matches where the team worked well and again showed their Nansloe spirit and kept playing their best. This week they drew one match and lost one.

We can not wait to see this team progress as the season takes place and they play more together.

Cross Country Success

The cross country season started off with a very big bang! The first race was held at Porthleven Primary School which we were pleased to see some first time runners taking part.

Our Year 3/4 girls brought home a 1st and 5th one of which was her first ever race, massive well done!

The Year 3/4 boys then took to the start line finishing with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. What an incredible start for Nansloe and for the boys that participated.

Up next were 5/6 girls both who completed their races with big smiles and feeling proud of themselves as it was their first race. Again a massive well done!

Finally the Year 5/6 boys finished the event finishing in 1st and 9th. We had a new runner in this group as well.

We very much look forward to the next race at Helston Community College on Tuesday 3rd October which is for both KS1 and KS2. Should you want to join the Nansloe team and run please complete the following form. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible both old faces and hopefully some new.
