This week Molly, Isla and Scarlett had the chance to talk to the news desk at Heart Radio to share their Innovation Project idea and talk about what it means to be going to America. This morning their interview was broadcast as the top news item each hour!

We are a group of nine Year 6 students from Cornwall, UK who are taking part in the FIRST LEGO League for the second and final time with Penpol School. As Year 6’s we’ll soon be leaving Penpol and going our separate ways to Secondary School.
For two years we’ve been working hard during our lunchtimes to build and code a LEGO Robot as well as creating an innovative jellyfish detecting wristband that lets you know if the jellyfish nearby are safe to swim with or not. We were thrilled to learn that all our hard work has paid off and that we’ve received a special invitation to represent Great Britain in an International Competition in Massachusetts, USA!
This website will tell you all about our journey so far, as well as sharing some way that you can help support us as we travel across the Atlantic to share our project in America
Today, Nursery visited Marazion Beach to link to our learning about creatures, habitats and our local environment. We had an exciting trip on the minibus to get there and the children behaved fantastically, making lots of people smile by being so polite and friendly.
We started by meeting Kerry, from St Michael’s Mount, who spoke to us about the most common litter that is found at Marazion. The children were great at identifying which items belong on the beach and which do not! Equipped with gloves, grabbers and bags, the children then eagerly took part in our beach clean, collecting lots of litter and comparing the interesting items that we found.
After our beach clean, we then enjoyed our lunch with a beautiful sea view followed by a play on the sand. The children built sandcastles, searched for shells and we even had some sand angels!
We then had a lovely time on the park with the children really enjoying the rope bridges, pirate ship and slides! We had a fab day and there were lots of sleepy children on the coach home!
