St Mewan Community Primary School

Our new After-School STEM Club is officially underway! Our young engineers put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test by building structures out of spaghetti and marshmallows. There was lots of teamwork, laughter, and a little bit of trial and error along the way! We love seeing these bright minds learning through hands-on challenges. Can't wait to see what they build next!

Sports Update It's only Tuesday and we've already taken part in 3 different sports events this week, involving 70 of our pupils, all of which have represented our school brilliantly as always! CSG Event: Dance and Cycling - On Monday, Year 5 were invited to Brannel School for a Cornwall School Games event which included some Dance and Cycling activities. The children had a great time learning some new moves and showing off their riding skills! PSSP Rugby - We also took part in a Rugby festival at Poltair School on Monday, with our Year 5 Rugby players taking part in a range of fun activities to improve their skills and understand of the sport. Girls Cup Football - Today, our Y5/6 Girls football team played against St Stephens School in the first round of the Chloe Williams Shield competition. The team put in a fantastic performance and came away with a 5-0 win which means we are through to the next round where we will face Sandy Hill school. Well done girls! #schoolsports #SportForAll #TeamStMewan

Penrice Farm Visit Yesterday, we were lucky enough to have some four-legged friends from Penrice Academy come into school to meet our Year 2 pupils. The Farm visitors included a tortoise, guinea pigs, rabbits two lovely farm dogs. Our children could barely contain their excitement when the animals entered the classroom! As well as linking perfectly with our current English and Science lessons that focus on animals, this was also a fantastic enrichment opportunity and a wonderful way to build confidence with pets and animals. Thank you to the staff from Penrice for organising the visit and providing our pupils with such an unforgettable experience! #PenriceFarm #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #PenriceFarmOnTour

Cross Country Race 3 Another amazing performance from all of our runners at the third Cross Country race of the year. We had some first time medalists, some repeat winners and lots of personal bests. It was great to share the experience with the other schools within Cornwall Education Learning Trust where we are seeing new friendships being formed as well as a shared sense of positivity, support and encouragement shown by all involved. We are really enjoying the Cross Country events as every race produces moments of Kindness, Excellence and Determination. The highlight this time was Ferdie, voluntarily giving his 3rd place medal to Morley after hearing of his previous act of kindess a few races ago. These frequent examples of selflessness and friendship make us extremely proud of our pupils! Our final race of the Poltair School cross county series takes place in a months time with anyone in Year 4/5/6 not yet to take part, being given the opportunity to do so. Following that, it will be the turn of Y1/2/3 who have their own one off cross country event coming up at the end of the term! #schoolsport #crosscountry #teamstmewan

As part of their Science learning, Year 6 have been learning all about the circulatory system and the heart. Today, the children were able to get 'hands on' and complete the dissection of a heart, locating the atriums, ventricles, valves and blood vessels! With thanks to our colleagues Penrice Academy who delivered the session.
