Class 9’s Lost Words
This week, Year 4 immersed themselves in The Lost Words, a book of poems and illustrations inspired by the rich wonders of British wildlife. Each lost word is saved through speaking or singing a spell to conjure back these creatures into our hearts.
Inspired this book of spells, pupils wrote their own poems to express their adoration for the humble plants and animals of their local environment.
Dandelions, daisies, mushrooms and moss; robins, magpies, seagulls and sunflowers; herons, holly, willow and oak.
Children created beautiful watercolour paintings of their lost words, upon which they wrote their acrostic poems.
Pupils demonstrated some spell-bounding performances around the school grounds, conjuring creatures and plants with their wonderful poems and songs.
“Enter the wild with care, my love
And speak the things you see
Let new names take and root and thrive and grow”
The Lost Words Blessing

Our Own Hockey Heroes!
A collection of our Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils headed over to Penzance Hockey Club for some friendly festival games on Thursday. A mixed bag of results which culminated in a hotly contested ‘friendly’ derby between our two Penpol Teams. Some action shots are below! The children represented the school brilliantly and as is often the case, were a pleasure to take. Smiles beamed between the rain clouds as the children grew into the games and felt more comfortable in what for many was a very alien environment.
If you’d like to know any more about hockey at Penzance head over to their Facebook page, it is a brilliant friendly club with a great youth set up from Under 8’s to 18’s!
