A word from the Principal...
Welcome,
I hope you all had an enjoyable half term. The children have come back to school recharged and
ready to learn which is great to see.
Prior to half term you had the first formal opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher for the
first time in our parents’ consultations. The feedback I received was very positive and I hope these
meetings gave you an insight into how your child has settled into their new class and how they are
progressing with their learning.
We signed off last half term with the FLS Monsters Ball Discos. Both the KS1 and KS2 events were
incredibly well supported, so thank you for allowing your children to attend and and to those of you
who helped during the evening, it is very much appreciated. The FLS run lots of events like this
through the year, with all proceeds going towards improving our school. However, their numbers
are low, so if you are able to help the FLS in any capacity, please let Gail Terry know or speak to
Grace in the office.
This week, we held our cake stall to raise money for a memorial flower garden for Mrs Gee. Thank
you to all of you who sent in cakes or money or attended the cake stall, it was hugely successful
and we raised over £350. Raffle tickets will continue to be on sale until Wednesday.
This half term is one of the busiest of the year and I am looking forward to telling you about what
has been going on in our next newsletter.
Kind regards,
Adam Anderson

EYFS
This week the Rainbow Class have
been very excited about Halloween!
We had fun making our own magic
potions, listening to stories, learning
about how other people celebrate Halloween,
making and tasting pumpkin
soup.
Y2
Year 2 have been making their own
story books about plastic pollution in
our oceans. They planned,published
and have illustrated them. They also
used the Chromebooks to select their
front cover image.
This week Year 2 have looked at how
Lego is made and the benefits of plastic.
They then created an animal using
the Lego.

Year 3 have been observing and
experimenting with light in recent
weeks. We have found that light
sources produce light which is the
fastest thing on the planet. However,
UV light (Ultra Violet) can be both
beneficial to us but also harmful to our
eyes and skin. We know that the sun
is the main producer of UV light and
is also the closest star to our planet
which is why it looks so big. We can
see all objects due to light reflecting
from surfaces and into our eyes.
Y4
Y4 have been working on some beautiful
artwork this week. They have
produced stunning pastel images depicting
what the sea could look like if
it weren’t for plastic pollution.

Y5
Geography - Class 5 have been learning
about places and features of the
United Kingdom. The children can
name all of the countries in the United
Kingdom and talk in depth about
the physical and human features that
exist across the lands.
Big Write - This week the children
completed a descriptive piece of writing
based around Halloween. They
were very scary and very imaginative.
Y6
In RE, we have been looking at Buddhism
and the Eightfold Path. We
discussed the meaning of the eight
practices and which of these we follow
in our own lives. Each group then created
a freeze frame to represent each
practice and we had to guess which
practice they were representing. Afterwards,
we reflected on which practices
we would like to start following
in our day to day lives.

Parking in the Community
Please be considerate when parking in our local community at the start and end of the
day. We appreciate it gets very busy, which is why we have staggered ends of the day
for KS1 and KS2 and have built the community path. There have been several incidents
this year of driveways and garages being blocked and residents being verbally
abused. This is not acceptable behaviour and not what we want to model for our children.
Please use the Community Centre Car Park at busy times and make the short
walk to the school. Thank you for your support.
Ludgvan Parish Council Logo Design Competition
The Parish Council have been in contact and would like our input to design their new
logo. You should have received a letter with a design space on it this week. This is for
you and your child to design a logo and enter the compeition. It is a great opportunity
to get involved and have an impact in our local community.
Children in Need
Children in Need is on the 15th November. We will be doing our bit by wearing pyjamas
for the day in return for a £1 donation. This is charity that does great work and
one that we do our best to support every year. Thank you.
