St Mewan Community Primary 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

What a performance from our cross-country team!🏅 Our runners put in an unbelievable effort today at Penrice Academy as they took part in the first of three cross country events that will take place this half term. It was a long course but every single runner showed fantastic determination right through to the finish line. And to top it all off...THREE GOLD MEDALS! 🥇🥇🥇 Thank you to the Penrice Academy PE staff and students for organising the event and creating such a positive and encouraging atmosphere for all of the runners today. We have space for 30 children to join us at the next race! Any children in Years 4–6 who would like to get involved can come along to Cross Country Club on Thursday lunchtimes with Mr Lloyd, Mr Dixon and Mr Trudgeon. Come and give it a go! 🏃 🏃

🪨🧍👣 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

We have had a fantastic half term in Art Club, full of creativity, colour and imagination! The children have explored a variety of materials and techniques, linking their artwork to their classroom learning and special celebrations. Take a look at what each year group has been creating! Year 1 – Under the Sea and Autumn Art Inspired by their classroom story Tiddler, Year 1 created colourful fish using recycled CDs, foam and sequins. For Halloween, the children made spooky stained-glass pumpkins and ghosts. They also developed their observational drawing skills by carefully drawing pumpkins using crayons and watercolour paints. Year 2 – Arctic Adventures and Halloween Fun Linked to their learning about Arctic animals, Year 2 created beautiful Northern Lights backgrounds using watercolour paints. They then carefully traced their chosen Arctic animal and added it to their background to complete their stunning winter scenes. The Halloween fun continued with paper-chain skeletons and spooky ghost cupcakes! Year 3 – Egyptian Art and Creative Designs As part of their learning about Ancient Egypt, Year 3 transformed their portraits into Egyptian pharaohs! They designed their own headdresses, carefully considering the colours and patterns to create individual designs. They also made some spooky ghost cupcakes for Halloween! We are so proud of the children's enthusiasm and the wonderful artwork they have produced! It's been fantastic to see them experiment with different materials, develop new skills and bring their classroom learning to life through art.

🏐 Pondhu Primary School vs St Mewan This afternoon, some of our football and netball teams took on Pondhu in the Small Schools West league. Our Hornets (Y4) football team was up first and did not stop giving 100% effort right until the final whistle. Our netballers showed this same determined attitude and massively improved as the game went on. Finally, our Bobcats (Y5) made it three out of three for showing an high levels of enthusiasm, resilience and a positive approach when facing strong opponents. We are incredibly proud of all our teams and every single player involved in today's fixture 💛🖤🙌! A massive well done to Pondhu who showed great skill and ability but also lots of examples of excellent sportsmanship throughout their teams. It was a brilliant fixture where all of the children involved gained a lot from the experience. #schoolfootball #schoolnetball #SportForAll

School football season has begun! This afternoon we played some friendly matches against Charlestown School and last week we held our first league fixture which was between some of our own teams. With the recent changes to the St Austell Schools football leagues this year, we've created a poster to show which league each of our teams are in and which other schools they will face. Our teams are all in the West leagues. At the end of the season, the winners of the different West leagues will play the winners of the East leagues to find out who the St Austell Champions are! We have also entered a number of ESFA National events and County CSFA competitions. We're really excited to have 12 different football teams this year and can't wait for all of our footballers to represent our school! 💛🖤 #teamstmewan #schoolfootball

St Austell Schools Active Partnership This half term, we've been taking part in weekly sports events as part of a new initiative within the St Austell area (SASAP). These events aim to offer a wide range of opportunities and experience that focus on sports and physical activity. All of this, is a part of the wider work that is going on within the town of St Austell which is being led by Active Cornwall. So far, the events have focused on handball, basketball 🏀 and rugby 🏉 and have been held at Poltair School and Penrice Academy. Our pupils who attended these had a really enjoyable and positive experience. All of our pupils in Year 2-Year 6 will be invited to attend at least one of these events at some point throughout the year. #staustell #systemchange #SASAP
