Mid-Cornwall Winners! Well done to all of our Y4 footballers who took part in the Mid-Cornwall Qualifier event this afternoon. We brought two teams to the event, both playing some fantastic football and showing lots of skill and ability as well as displaying great determination and positive attitudes throughout. Despite facing some incredibly strong opposition, one of our teams won all four of their games and finished in 1st place! This means we have qualified for the County Finals which will take place in May. Congratulations to all involved! #teamstmewan #schoolsfootballweek

The Student Council did an excellent job of working as a team to prepare some of our outside area for Spring this morning! They spent some time clearing leaves and weeds, disposing of rubbish, filling pots with soil ready for planting and most importantly, carefully saving a family of snails by moving them to a new safe place!

This week, we were excited to celebrate British Science Week at school! This year's theme was 'Curiosity: What's your question?' and our pupils certainly had plenty of fantastic questions to explore. Throughout the week, the children became scientists as they investigated and tested their ideas. Some of the questions we explored included: Does buttered toast always land butter-side down? What is the best design for a paper aeroplane? How does 'sticky ice' work? The children loved making predictions, carrying out experiments and discussing their results. It was wonderful to see so much curiosity, teamwork and scientific thinking in action! We were also delighted to welcome staff from Beacon Vetcare in Summercourt, who spoke to the children about how they use science in their work every day. The visit gave pupils a brilliant insight into careers in veterinary care and how science helps animals stay healthy. A huge thank you to the staff from Beacon Vetcare for taking the time to visit us and share their expertise. It has been a fantastic week of discovery, curiosity and hands-on learning.

Today, our KS2 children were visited by lifeguards from the RNLI, who delivered an engaging session on beach safety. The children learnt about the different beach flags and what they mean. They also learnt what rip currents are and what to do if caught in one. A key focus was the RNLI's "Float to Live" advice. We are grateful to the RNLI team for sharing these important water safety messages with our pupils.

CHAMPIONS X 3 St Austell District Schools' Champions 25/26: We're excited to share that after completing all of our SADFANA fixtures, both our A and B Netball teams have won the league! The A team went all season undefeated and the B team won 5 of their 6 games. This is an incredible achievement and something that all of our netballers should be proud of! The success doesn't stop there, as our Year 4 footballers have also won their league, winning all six of their games. What makes this an even bigger achievement, is that the team has been made up of 22 different children, all being rotated into the team throughout the year. We're incredibly lucky to have such a talented group of children who are so enthusiastic towards the sport! Well done to all involved!!! #wearethechampions #teamstmewan
