Year 5 Tackle Litter in Hayle
As part of our 360 Curriculum, Year 5 needed to start a community project. After our recent walk through Hayle on our way to our beach clean, the children were left reeling at the amount of litter we saw.
When discussing how we could involve the community, we decided to invite parents, carers and grand-parents. It turned out to be a huge success, which is both pleasing and upsetting. The amount we collected was brilliant but astounding that it was all found within one hour by 60 children.
Penpol Win the Treble!
The Penpol School Boys Football team have followed up their successes in the Leading Edge Academy Trust Cup and The Penwith Schools District Cup with victory in the Hayle Mayor’s Cup.
After competing with local Hayle Schools the team made up on only Year 6 pupils sat a top the table and headed to the final. On their way to the final they were in red got form scoring over 20 goals in 5 games and conceding none.
They met local rivals Bodirggy again in the final after defeating them 1-0 in the round robin. The score was slightly different this time round with them wrapping the trophy up in style with an 8-0 victory. The final victory ensured they have been undefeated all season whilst more impressively not conceding a goal.
Their quality of their play was receiving applause and congratulations from spectating parents, teachers and players from other schools which is testament to the way they have gone about their football this year.
Hopefully their red hot form turns ice cold when they face off against the Penpol Staff in two weeks time.
Thank you to the Hayle Mayor and all at Hayle FC for an excellent afternoon.
Pumpkin Vlog: Day 7
Our final day in Boston featured a visit to Boston Science Museum, a tour of the land and sea on a Duck Boat and a lot of travelling to get back home to Penpol School. Check out our final video diary below:
Welcome Home Penpol Pumpkins!
We’ve made it safely back to Penpol School!
I’m sure in the days to come the children will be eager to share some reflections and memories of the last week, but for now we all need a good nights sleep and a bit of a rest!
Thank you all for the support and for following our journey via the live blog, it’s lovely to see just how much support the Pumpkins have had!
