Welcome to Year 5-6H! It has been great to welcome the children back after the Summer break - and we have a few new faces in class who are settling in quickly!  The first few days are always busy, but the children have made an excellent start to the new term.  We are really looking forward to seeing how much the children will be able to achieve and grow this school year!

Please find below some of the important information for our class this term.

Getting in touch:  There are many times throughout the year when you may want to get in touch with the staff team.  Please do come and speak to any member of staff in class at drop-off or pick up each school day.  You can also email any questions, concerns, updates to thazlewood@stcleerprimary.co.uk

Learning in school:   The mind-map attached below outlines the learning we have planned for this half term.

Learning at home:  It is important in Year 5 & 6 for the children to support their learning at home. The following guidelines are what we share with the children:
READING - Ten minutes a day (recorded in the children's reading record)
SPELLING - We learn 15 spelling words each fortnight. Please find the Autumn term spellings attached below. As well as our focus spellings - the children are also expected to learn the statutory spellings attached.
KIRFs and Timestables facts - We ask the children to learn some important Key Instant Recall Facts each term. Please see the KIRF documents below which outline the important maths facts this term. The children will continue to have access to Times Tables Rock Starts to practice and consolidate their times tables facts (login details will be stuck into the front cover of the children's reading record)
Online learning (ATOM LEARNING) - We use an online platform called Atom Prime to support the children's learning. Each week we will set 'assignments' based around learning we have been doing in school.

PE:  Our class PE session has moved to a Tuesday this term (apologies if this has caused any problems). We also have additional sports sessions planned for Year 5 children with Coach James on a Wednesday afternoon. On the days when your child will be doing PE, please ensure that the children arrive in school dressed in their PE kit (both days for Year 5, Tuesday for Year 6).

We are really looking forward to all the opportunities which this new school year will bring.  As always, please do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns (or just want to say 'Hi')!

All the best,   Mr Hazlewood & the Year 5/6 team.

Hello Everyone!

A very warm welcome to our new Reception children and parents, and to our 3 new children who have joined us in Year 1. 
We are so proud of our children this week, for the way that they have welcomed new friends, and showed kindness to each other. There already seems to be a lovely family feel to Penhallow this year.

We have launched our new enquiry question for this half term; 'What makes our families unique?' We have read stories and played games in which we got to know each other and explored the idea of being unique. 

Individual reading books have been given to Year 1 and 2 children this week. Reception children will have some lovely new books to read and share at home during next week, after they have had their first phonics lessons. All children will also be able to choose a library book to take home, which they can change on a weekly basis. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding school. hfitzsimmons@polperroprimary.co.uk 

We look forward to seeing you next week, for our first full week.

Have a lovely weekend.

From The Penhallow Team - Mrs Fitzsimmons, Mrs Lister, Mrs Gouriet, Mrs Hodge and Miss Bowden.

WELCOME TO POLPERRO PRIMARY'S YEAR 6 CLASS OF 2026!

What a lovely first couple of days we have had, getting to know each other and settling into life as a Year 6 class.

We have sorted our class monitors, launched our new enquiry 'What makes Earth the perfect planet to live on?' and have been learning about Retro-Futurism as part of our art for this half term. 

IMPORTANT INFO FOR PARENTS
PE is on a Wednesday and Thursday so please make sure that kits are in school each week as well as swimming kits as the pool is still open - weather permitting!

That's all from us so have a lovely weekend, and once again, welcome to Chaipel!

Miss Randle and Mrs Clary

Welcome to R/1!

We are absolutely delighted to welcome all the children to our R/1 class. It has been a wonderful start to the school year, and over the past two days, we've had a fantastic time settling in, learning classroom routines, and getting to know each other. The children have shown great enthusiasm and kindness, and we're excited for the many learning adventures ahead.

Our Year 1 students have already jumped into their learning, beginning with Mathematics. This week, we introduced the topic of Place Value, focusing on numbers to 10. The children completed a pre-assessment to help guide our future lessons, and they've been busy counting and representing numbers using objects. They have shown great concentration and effort when completing questions in their maths books - a fantastic start to the term!

In English, we have started our unit on Traditional Tales. We listened to the classic stories of The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff, which sparked some wonderful discussion. The children were asked to write a sentence explaining which story was their favourite and why, and it was lovely to see their growing confidence with writing and expressing their opinions.

To end the week, we enjoyed a creative afternoon where the children made their very own little pig characters using craft materials. It was a fun and imaginative way to bring the story to life, and the results were fantastic!

We are so proud of how well everyone has settled in and are looking forward to a year full of learning, creativity, and growth.

Hello and welcome back to Lantic Class! We've had a really fun few days getting settled back in. We have been getting to know each other with games and a circle time. We have made a very special display about celebrating our differences. Please see attached the curriculum overview for Lantic Class this half term. 
We're looking forward to another fun filled week of learning next week! 

Hello everyone,
It has been great to see so many of you back over the last two days and we have also welcomed some new faces to our nursery family.
We hope you all enjoyed the summer holidays and are now well rested ready to start a new term.

The children have been settling in this week and from next week we will be answering a new enquiry question relating to "all about me".

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Julie and Sarah
 

We are all delighted to welcome you and your children back for another brand-new year. We also welcome new families to Darite I hope that whatever you and your family got up to over the break, you were able to find time to relax and enjoy the weather. It has been amazing to hear the things that the children have been up to and the places that they have been able to go over the summer. This year at Darite promises to be another year full of exciting learning, fun activities , new challenges and memorable experiences for the children at Darite. The staff and I have been working hard on preparing engaging and fun lessons designed to help every child enjoy school and achieve their very best. It was wonderful to see the children being excited about being back yesterday and to have to opportunity to speak to you on the playground. We really appreciate and value the partnership that we have between home and school and the positive impact it has on supporting your child's growth and success in school. We are always happy to help and are looking forward to working closely with you again this year. PE will continue to be on Monday so children will need to come into school in their kits. Class 1 will continue to have Wild Tribe on Friday and Class 2 will have a Wild Tribe day each term. We will be sending out club lists next week with a view to starting on the following week. 

Welcome back to school from all the staff at Polperro Primary Academy and a particularly warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. Thank you for your efforts in ensuring that your children are smart and in full school uniform and in school well in time for them to line up at 8:45. The children have settled extremely well. Please see the Class blogs for a flavour of the week's learning and for information regarding your child's class. Class Blogs and the Head's Blog are updated after school on Fridays.

Parent Survey Thank you for the many very positive and helpful comments which we received in our Parent Survey in the summer term. As always we strive to improve and this year we will again be organising trips to enhance our curriculum, alongside valuable local visits. To make things easier, sign up and payment for these trips will be available on ParentPay. We will also be organising more fundraising events to build on the success of FOPS (Friends of Polperro School) events last year. Please watch this space as we will be asking for your support with this shortly.

School Garden I am pleased to announce we have just been awarded a much-needed grant of £200 for our Kitchen Garden Project from Caterlink. With the help of the children and gardening club, we will continue to grow fruit and vegetables in our greenhouse for the school kitchen to prepare for the children. Mr and Mrs Peters have kindly looked after the garden over the summer break and there are crops ready to pick (see photos).

Achievement Assemblies We will resume our special Wednesday assemblies the week starting 15th September. In these assemblies, we celebrate the children's achievements in Reading, Writing or Maths. If your child is to be awarded a certificate, their class teacher will ring or email to invite you to attend the assembly which will be held at 2:45pm (please arrive at 2:40pm). We look forward to sharing the children's successes with you.

Swimming The pool is still open so in the hope that there is still some warm weather to come, please ensure your child's kit is in every day.

Clubs The school is again providing after school and lunchtime clubs and we would like to get these up and running the week commencing Monday 22nd September. Clubs will run from 3.15pm until 4.15 pm after school and from 12:30-1pm at lunchtime. A list of clubs on offer will be sent out next week.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Welcome back!

It was wonderful to greet the new year 6 children today for their final year at Brunel. We have an exciting year ahead with many memories to make. 

Today we started with some icebreaker questions. This helped me to get to know the children and I was intrigued and interested with some of their answers. Please see the photos for some of my favourites. 

Next week, we will be starting our new topic called 'Where Does Energy Come From?' Please see the knowledge web below to find out what we are learning in each subject. 

The children will be coming home with their class dojo logins. Please use these to see how your child is earning points in class. I will also post messages on there occasionally so make sure you check it regularly.
