Outdoor Learning in full flow at Penpol

22nd September 202022nd September 2020 by Mr Chislett

We are learning outdoors more than ever at Penpol and this is having such a positive impact upon the way we learn. Have a look at what we’ve been up to below. Please do keep an eye on the forecast each day so that your child is ready to enjoy their learning whatever the weather throws at us!

Sports Day 2020

20th July 2020 by Mr Stanlake

2020 brought around a slightly different kind of sports day. Over 100 of our pupils took part in first ever Rainbow games, both at home and in school.

The day consisted of children competing in for their houses in a range of throwing, jumping and running activities alongside some cross-curricular olympic themed activities such as designing/cooking a healthy meal; researching one of the continents; creating banner and posters to show their support for their house.

A brilliant event with many children engaging in the activities. Over 18000 points were shared between the 4 houses with less than 100 separating first and second.

Results are announced in the below video!

Music Without the Marquee 2020

17th July 202017th July 2020 by Mr Woolcock

Here at Penpol School we are delighted to be able to bring a slice of Music in the Marquee to you virtually. Yes, we know it’ll never be the same as being in the marquee together as we celebrate the end of another school year, but we sincerely hope that this mini-event can bring a slice of that fun to you at home.

So it is time to get the wristbands on and the fizzy pop out as we all have a bit of a party in our own homes.

This is Music Without the Marquee!

Diving Giraffes Writing Competition

10th July 202010th July 2020 by Miss Holcroft

Dive into our Diving Giraffe Writing Challenge!

Key Stage 2 children were set a Writing Challenge during our remote learning. Firstly, the children watched a video on Literacy Shed called Diving Giraffes. Here is a link to the Diving Giraffes video:

Then children needed to produce some writing based on the video. It was entirely up to them what they wanted to write. We were so impressed with all of the entries that we wanted to share them on The Penpol Times. Please have a look at the amazing writing. Thank you so much for all the children who took part in the Writing Challenge. We are very proud of you all!
