Watch Me Grow
Class 1 have been enjoying planting lots of different plants and flowers to add a bit of greenery to our play ground.
Thanks to the generous donations from parents, Wyevale garden centre, Asda and B & M in Penzance, we have been able to plant herbs, flowers, shrubs and vegetables.
Plants need lots of sun and water to help them grow – Violet
Class 1 will be learning all about different plants this term. We have started to learn about the different needs of plants and how to look after them. We will learn about the structure and function of each part of the plant and how water travels around the plant. We will also learn to name different types of local wild flowers and some trees. Finally we will grow and try our own herbs and vegetables.
We have to look after plants because they are alive – Theo
We have so far planted garlic, onions, shallots, mint, basil and parsley. We will also plant delicious peas in the spring. The flowers we have planted are primroses, hyacinths, primlets and narcissus. We are going to plant some sunflowers and hopefully make a blackberry crumble if we have any blackberries to harvest from our hanging baskets by then, though we suspect they may be at their best during the summer holidays!
We planted mint and garlic. They need sun and water and soil to grow – Merryn
The sun makes energy for the flowers though the leaves – Henry
Motorsport UK award for Penpol Pupil
Last weekend one of our pupils achieved the accolade of “Best Rookie in Honda Cadet” at the Clay Pigeon Raceway competition. This was his first race in MSA where only licensed drivers can take part.
This is a fantastic achievement, well done.
Penpol School attend the BETT Show 2019
A couple of weeks ago myself, Mr Chislett and Paul all went up to London to visit the BETT show. This massive educational technology show involves thousands of companies, hundreds of workshops and some fascinating presentations from industry and educational leaders. This year we were also lucky enough to attend an evening event hosted by Apple at the Design Museum which focused on creativity and self-expression, particularly through the innovative use of Garageband in the classroom. We’ve all come back full of fantastic ideas and we can’t wait to start sharing them with the pupils at Penpol. – Mr Woolcock
