St Mewan Community Primary School

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

We have space for 30 children to join us at the next race!

🪨🧍👣 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.
