The Penpol Times

Tom started Sandhoppers with the Hayle Surf Life Saving Club last year and has been making amazing progress. He enjoys swimming in the sea and has learnt to use a bodyboard. He has moved up to Nippers and was awarded a shield in October for ‘Most Enthusiastic Boy’. Tom is having great fun learning how to surf!

I feel fantastic because I got the award and my name is on the shield now. It is the first award I have ever won – Tom – Class 7 – Year 3

Class2 had great fun this week when we were visited by Louise for a morning of jar decorating. Each child chose a glass jar and a piece of ribbon to wrap around it. Then we carefully glued the ribbon on with the help of an adult and a glue gun!

I chose the orange ribbon for my jar and some orange stickers – Lucas

After we had glued the ribbon on, we had some stickers to decorate our jars with. They looked very colourful when they were finished!

I liked making the jar because I got to put lots of stickers on. It was tricky to get the back off! – Lexie

Next we chose some flowers to put into our jars to take home. There were lots to choose from! Some children decided not to put flowers in their jar, but instead are going to put a tealight inside to make it light up!

I put yellow flowers in my jar. They are pretty – Jessica

We had lots of fun decorating and filling our jars and would like to say a big thank you to Louise for coming in to visit us!

Isaac’s mum Kate, came in to talk to the children about healthy eating.

Class 1 learnt all about what a healthy plate looks like. We talked about all the different types of delicious fruits and vegetables we could eat daily and that we need to eat at least 5 different fruits and vegetable of different colours. Next we learnt all about what types of foods carbohydrates are and how they give us energy for the day. After that, we learnt which foods are proteins which give us strong muscles.

We need to eat healthy food and five a day, 5 fruits. I like eating cabbage and sprouts and I like eating lettuce and tomatoes. They are healthy for you – Layla.

Next we learnt about dairy foods and how they are good for strong healthy teeth and bones. Then we learnt about how we should only eat a little fats and oils and leant that sugar is only an occasional treat, not an everyday food.

You have to eat five vegetables. I like cabbage and tomato sweetcorn and broccoli and baked beans – Atene

The children really enjoyed putting the different foods onto the correct section of the healthy food plate and we even had time to show how much energy we would have if we ate healthy and non healthy foods.

We have to eat pears and apples and carrots. We have to eat 5 fruit and vegetables everyday. I normally do that with fruits. We need to eat eggs and cheese – Evan
