St Mewan Community Primary School

Today, our whole school came together to celebrate Children in Need and World Kindness Day by creating one HUGE Pudsey's Pledges Kindness Chain! Every child played their part by decorating a yellow paper link and writing two very special messages on it: - An act of kindness: A promise to carry out a random act of kindness for a classmate or teacher. - A global thought: A message of hope for children who may be facing difficult circumstances around the world. Link by link, our pupils created a giant chain, showing how even the smallest acts of kindness can join together to make a big difference. A special mention also for our Year 1,2 and 3 Art Club. The children worked together this week to create a special collaborative piece of artwork featuring Pudsey Bear!

🏞 Pentewan (White) River 🏞 Throughout the year, Year 3 will be visiting different parts of the Pentewan River as part of their Geography learning. This morning, they went to the middle of the river to carry out a variety of investigations. These included measuring the width, depth, temperature and speed of the river as well as identifying which animals lived nearby. First, the children made their own predictions before Mr Boynton carried out the investigations - Luckily, no teachers were harmed/fell in! Year 3 will discuss their findings within their next Geography lesson and later in the year they will repeat the same investigations at the source and the mouth of the river. All of the children have already shown lots of enthusiasm towards their lessons this term and today's experience has added even more excitement to their learning! #immersivelearning #YoungGeographers

Both of our cross country clubs made the most of the perfect running conditions during lunchtime today. It was the first session for our KS1 children and they were amazing, completing two laps of the field with ease and with great big smiles of their faces throughout! Let's hope for more of this weather for the rest of the term!🤞🌞 🏃 🏃 #schoolcrosscountry #runningforall

🔴 REMEMBRANCE DAY 🔴 All of St Mewan came together to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict and reflect on their service and sacrifice. Our whole school listened to Miss Palmer read 'For the Fallen' followed by a beautiful rendintion of 'The Last Post' played for the first time by Mrs Johnson. We finished our remembrance service with a minute silence before the school councilors placed their poppies together at the front of the school.

🏐 St Mewan Football & Netball Update Over the past few weeks, our numerous football and netball teams have been taking part in a range of fixtures and competitions. Here's how they've got on in their recent SADFANA league fixtures: Cheetahs vs Mevagissey (Lost) Wasps vs Mevagissey (Won) 🏐 C team vs Mevagissey (Won) Jaguars vs Carclaze (Won) Leopards vs Carclaze (Won) Bumblebees vs Carclaze (Lost) 🏐 A team vs Carclaze (Won) 🏐 B team vs Carclaze (Won) Our Year 5 netballers also took part in a 7 aside competition this week, hosted by Truro School. We entered two teams into the event and both did incredibly well, finishing in 2nd and 3rd place! Considering the children had never played 7 aside Netball before, this is a fantastic achievement! 🥈🥉 Well done to everyone involved in the above fixtures and events. As always, all of our teams and pupils represented St Mewan brilliantly and continue to make us proud. Next up, both of our Y5/6 Girls football teams (Lionesses and Tigresses) are taking part on the ESFA Mid-Cornwall qualifier tomorrow afternoon. There's also plenty of league fixtures to come throughout the year! 🏐💛🖤 #FootballForAll #TeamStMewan

🪨🧍👣 Stone Age Boy 👣🧍🪨 Year 3 ventured up to the school field this morning during their English lesson to take part in an some immersive learning activities based on 'The Stone Age Boy'. The children were first tasked with moving their 'tents' 🥅 from one area to another due to a need for a new food source. Each group had to work as a team to ensure their tent stayed in one piece and no one got left behind. It was then time to go on a Stone Age hunt where the children had to creep up on their prey (Miss Palmer) without being seen 🏹 - Luckily no teachers were harmed! Our Year 3s will use this experience to enhance their upcoming English lessons and bring their writing to life! #immersivelearning #StoneAgeBoy
