As we wrap up another exciting week at our school, I am thrilled to share some highlights and updates through this newsletter.

Engaging With Emergency Services

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting representatives from the RNLI and the Ambulance Service. Our children engaged enthusiastically, learning about the crucial roles these services play in our community. The visits not only enriched their understanding but also underscored the importance of safety and emergency responses.

Year 5 Geography Field Work

Our Year 5 pupils ventured to St Agnes Beach, immersing themselves in both human and physical geography. This hands-on experience allowed them to observe and study geographical features and human impacts on the environment as well as the impact of tourism firsthand. Such field work is invaluable for our geography curriculum and thank you to all our staff for making this possible.

Art @ TMS

Our focus on school improvement this week spotlighted our Art team. Miss Bryant and Mr. Knight conducted a thorough subject review which included pupil conferencing, evaluations of sketchbooks, and classroom observations. They were genuinely impressed by the enthusiasm, skill, and knowledge displayed by our children. It’s clear that art continues to be a real strength of our school.

Community Engagement

We are proud to announce that Mrs. Brown and a group of our senior PALS brilliantly represented our school at the 50th-anniversary celebration at the local Methodist church. It was an honour to participate in such a milestone event, and we extend our best wishes to the community for the upcoming weekend festivities.

Information sessions: Curriculum spotlight on reading and Porthpean Information

Reaching out to parents, we are excited to highlight reading, and how we teach it from Y2-6. Enhancing reading skills is pivotal for accessing across all subjects, and future success. You will be able to access the Zoom link here. The information session for the forthcoming Porthpean residential can also be found here.

Attendance Policy Reminder

A big thank you to all parents and carers for supporting our attendance policy by scheduling appointments outside of school hours when possible. For unavoidable appointments during school hours, please show the confirmation text to our office staff. Your cooperation helps minimise disruptions and maximises learning time for all students. Now that we are entering the summer and less germs, we would also be hoping that our school attendance continues to improve to ensure that children make the most of every opportunity.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday Weekend!

As we head into the Bank Holiday weekend, forecasts predict sunshine! We hope you enjoy this wonderful opportunity to relax and spend quality time with your family.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Let’s look forward to another exciting and productive week ahead!
