Thank you to everyone who has supported our school this term, in particular St Keverne Fire Station who donated £100 to the school from their Open Day a few weeks ago. This money will be used to support the school summer term activities. We would like to also thank everyone who contributed to this week's Ofsted inspection by completing the parent/carer questionnaire. We will send out the report as soon as it is published in a few weeks. The FOSKS continue to support the school by fundraising and providing equipment and extras for our children. The year 6s look great in their leaver hoodies.

It has been a busy half term with children working hard to not only do brilliantly in their SATs assessments but getting stuck into all aspects of school life.&nbsp;You can see some of Leggan Class getting stuck into some gardening as part of our open afternoon.&nbsp;In the classroom we have also used practical skills to help with our maths work.&nbsp;Including using scales to help with our measure work in maths.&nbsp;We were also fortunate enough to go to Kestle Barton and work with some brilliant authors!

It has been a very busy half term for Godrevy class. We have enjoyed researching our local significant person in History, Henry Trengrouse, developing an understanding of why he is significant to not just the local area but the world, with his development of life-saving equipment. We have enjoyed learning in our outdoor area, both for science and English, providing us to learn about light and using the environment around us to develop our vocabulary in our story telling.

Carleon class have been learning about Mary Anning in history lessons and discovering why she was significant. We learnt a lot about her life but the main thing was that she discovered some fossils that belonged to dinosaurs that people had never heard of before. Not only did she do this, but she did it over 200 years ago, she was only 12 and she was a woman. We still don't think she is as well-known as she should be.

The children in Carleon class finished their Mary Anning history work this week by making some fossils.
