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

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

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

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

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