Penpol Primary School

Out and About with Class 2

6th December 2021 by Elizabeth Nidds

In Class 2, we’ve been enjoying some school trips recently.

Earlier in November, we visited Standing Stone stables where we learnt all about the horses and how to take care of them. We practised grooming the horses and even gave one a unicorn makeover!

I liked riding on the horses and I put glitter on them and brushed them – Ivy

We also enjoyed having a ride on a pony as well as taking it in turns to lead them around the arena.

Last week, we visited Tehidy Woods for a ‘welly walk’ as part of our 360 curriculum. We had great fun jumping in the muddy puddles, taking part in a scavenger hunt and even meeting the friendly squirrels!

We’ve loved our adventures and are looking forward to seeing where we go to next!

Year 6 Netball Fever

On Thursday 23 children made the relatively short walk to Hayle Academy to take part in a coaching clinic with 4 Year 10 pupils from Hayle; 3 of which were ex-Penpol pupils.

The Year 6 pupils performed admirably, showing many of our school values; respect, integrity and resilience. For many, the toughest part was understanding the different roles for players in different positions.

As part of our 360 curriculum, we are took the learning outside the classroom and experienced our local environment.

We builded dens for us for next time we go to the woods, with sticks, big ones and little ones. We did potions and we put leaves on a stick 5 leaves – Maya

Tehidy woods was the venue of our a scavenger hunt. We foraged, observed and hunted for treasures.

We collected some sticks and leaves to take back to class to make some leaf pictures and prints.

We made dens and made potions in the woods, me and Maya were witches and we were going to turn any bad monsters into frogs – Flo

The leaves called off the trees because its Autumn. We found leaves and sticks and we lifted up trees and we made dens for the fairies and the lion king – Maia

We built dens, made a birds nest sculpture and a fairy home using the things we find.

Finally we had a go on the rope swing.

There are squirrels in the woods and woodlice and beetles and foxes but I’ve never seen a fox. Reggie needed help lifting logs up so I asked other people to help him. I found a sweet chestnut- Jack
