St Mewan Community Primary School

This week, our Year 5 children welcomed the Performance in Education Team, on behalf of Cornwall Council, who performed their fantastic show 'Abbie Ayre and the Shed of Science.' The interactive show helped pupils explore the important topic of air quality in a fun and memorable way. Through the adventures of Abbie Ayre, her scientist grandmother Dr Rosemary Ayre, her friend Charlie and the supercomputer Derek 5000, the children investigated the causes of air pollution and learned about the impact poor air quality can have on our health and well being. Pupils were encouraged to think about the choices they make every day and how they can help improve air quality, discovering how small changes can make a big difference to the environment. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and came away inspired to make positive changes both at home and at school. It was wonderful to hear so many children at the end of the session discussing practical ways they can help improve air quality and create a cleaner, healthier future for everyone. A huge thank you to the Performance in Education Team and Cornwall Council for delivering such an informative, entertaining and thought-provoking session!

Mrs Best's morning group are learning the story 'Flotsam' in their writing sessions and today they created picture cards that helped bring their ideas and stories to life. They then shared their stories with the Reception children - they were terrific teachers! This activity encouraged creativity, communication skills and positive interactions between different age groups. Well done children!

This week, we were lucky enough to welcome the Bishop of Truro to our school. Bishop David took an assembly where he explained his job role and then told a Bible story. Afterwards, the Year 6's asked him many questions in an 'Ask the Bishop' session which was very insightful.

St Mewan FIFA World Cup Day We've had a really enjoyable day, taking part in different activities linked to this year's FIFA World Cup. The children have been learning about the different countries and players involved, completing football themed maths challenges, singing England football songs (Vindaloo), trading football stickers and playing some football. Each class has been given a country to get behind in our St Mewan sweepstake but we will all be cheering on the England football team and hoping it's coming home! #comeonengland #FIFAWorldCup2026

Year 5/6 Rugby Day Yesterday, all of our Year 5 and 6 pupils were given the opportunity to take part in a range of rugby activities and games led by Lee Missons, the England Rugby Schools Manager in Cornwall. The children were also introduced to the new T1 Rugby rules which will be used within school games and PE lessons from next year onwards. In addition to this, we also received a range of free kit which will make a huge difference to our ability to run our yearly rugby clubs as well as supporting the children's PE lessons. As a school, we have always wanted to offer more Rugby opportunities. With the support of Lee and England Rugby, we can't wait to continue to create stronger links within the sport and offer more experiences like this in the future. #EnglandRugby #Schoolrugby
