Nursery Adventure To The Millpond

27th March 202627th March 2026 by Emma Roberts

This week, Nursery went on their very first adventure together out of the school gates! They went for a walk around the local area to see if they could spot any of the animals they’ve been learning about this term.

Walking carefully in pairs, the children braved the rainy weather to walk through the school, out of the gate and down the road to the Millpond. En route, they spotted some seagulls, crows, pigeons and magpies.

After arriving, it was time for a quick go in the park (after all that sensible walking), and the children proved that a little bit of rain wasn’t going to spoil their fun! They paused for a scenic snack before continuing the walk.

Next, the children walked through the woodland area and around to the pond itself, where they spotted some swans, ducks and a moorhen.

After such a busy and adventurous morning, the children made their way back to school, once again showing fantastic listening, teamwork and sensible walking. The team are so proud of how they represented the school community on their very first outing together, and are already looking forward to many more adventures beyond the school gates!

Machine Learning about Red Nose Day in Scratch

This week students in Key Stage 2 have been using some clever code to create their own interactive Red Noses! Using a special version of Scratch, pupils have been exploring Machine Learning and how computer code can recognise different things, such as your nose. Using this code they’ve then let their creativity run wild by creating games, animations, secret messages, art programs and more using their own Red Nose.

Take a look at this short video and you’ll see just how creative the students at Penpol School are!

From Tin Mines to Tales: School Celebrates Cornwall in Style

Students and staff came together this week to celebrate Cornish culture, heritage and language in a vibrant, school-wide event. The special themed week aimed to raise awareness of Cornwall’s unique traditions while encouraging pupils to explore a rich and often overlooked part of British identity.

Throughout the week, lessons across different subjects were adapted to include Cornish themes. In history, students learned about Cornwall’s past, including its mining heritage and ancient legends. English lessons introduced traditional Cornish stories, while art classes focused on designing pieces inspired by the Cornish coastline and minehouses.
