Month: May 2018

Freya (Class 12), is a very motivated student in French.  This week, her excellent knowledge of the new topic, sports using the past tense, saw her as the overall Language Star of the Week out of the Juniors.  Her enthusiasm in class is just one of the reasons why the accolade was hers this week.  In addition, the learning in her book on what she did over the weekend was incredibly detailed.  A fantastic effort, Freya, well done!

 

Sienna (Class 4) was outstanding in French this week.  She demonstrated an excellent understanding of sports in French this week.   Her learning was very neat and she knew all of the 10 outdoor sports in French by the end of the lesson, clearly labelling the drawings of her favourite sports in French, as well as using the opinion “j’aime”.  Well done Sienna!

Infant Star of the Week

Class 4 – Year 1 – Ada

Huge congratulations to Ada who is this week’s overall winner of star of the week. Ada always works hard but this week, she has really impressed me with her perseverance in our maths lessons. We have been learning how to quarter numbers and dividing by 4. Ada has been concentrating, working extremely hard and working out some tricky sums. I also have to mention her fantastic knowledge about the Great Fire of London and the work she has done at home and at school on this subject. Brilliant work Ada! Congratulations!

Junior Star of the Week

Class 12 – Year 5 – Oliver

Ollie was an absolute star at Porthpean camp last week. He smiled all week and was his usual polite and cheerful self around instructors, making a great impression. He encouraged others and was a great team member. Ollie had a real go at all outdoor and adventurous activities and nothing phased him. From mountain biking down country lanes to firing bow and arrows in archery; climbing up walls or towers or leaping off high platforms and dangling from heights; kayaking across the bay to secret coves or coasteering along the coastline, Ollie did it all with a smile and war paint on his face. Great memories Ollie!

Class 11 – Year 5 – Jacob

This week’s star of the week should actually be ‘the star of camp week’. Year 5 went on camp to Porthpean last week where Jacob  excelled. Jacob took responsibility for his and his tent-mates well being ensuring they all had their possessions in order as well as offering a sympathetic shoulder for some homesick children. Jacob also undertook one of the most important jobs of the week where he monitored and offered frequent updates on Cornwall’s only volcano. Jacob is also a pleasure to have in class, he often goes under the radar but his work and effort is always far above satisfactory. Keep up the good work Jacob!

Thomas has won the Computing Star this week in recognition of both his incredible effort and also his interest into E-Safety.  After our Google assembly earlier this week, Thomas went home and produced these two incredible drawings featuring the characters and messages from Interland.  He was very excited to show me the next morning and told me all about how the characters behave in order to be sensible on Interland.  His knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject is lovely to see and the amount of work he put into his posters is fantastic.  They’re now up for display in the Mac Suite and everyone keeps saying how great they are!

Well done Thomas.

Junior Star of the Week

Class 13 – Year 6 – Delilah

Delilah has been magnificent this week, and all other weeks before now, always trying her best and meeting us with her great big smile and her enthusiasm.

This week has been the week of SAT’s testing, and unfortunately Dee was unable to come to school on Monday due to not being very well. This meant that she had to do both Monday’s and Tuesday’s tests on Tuesday, whilst also not being allowed to talk to her friends. This could have been a stressful time for Delilah, but she coped admirably, still with that smile on her face. Well done Delilah and thank you!
