We are so proud of our incredible Year 3s who performed in this year's Royal Shakespeare Company's Regional Playmakers Festival at @HallforCornwall. They performed Twelfth Night alongside 11 schools from around Cornwall and were the youngest children.

Reception had a lovely trip to Fig cafe as part of their 'Food Glorious Food' topic! The children independently ordered their own drinks and snacks from the cafe menu and paid using pretend money. They learnt lots about how cafes work and the roles of people who work in a cafe.

Nursery had a fantastic time on their trip to @FoodWarehouse to buy fruit to make their very own fruit salad! The children thought about different fruits they would like to put in the fruit salad before their trip, and then found the correct items in the supermarket!

Year 1 had a great time visiting Woodland Valley Farm this week. They learnt about how farmers grow our food and how they look after their animals. They fed lambs and pigs and visited the beaver enclosure. The afternoon was spent den building and exploring.

EYFS enjoyed an afternoon of Easter activities! They completed an egg hunt, looking for personalised eggs with their names on. They also made the pet bunnies from our home corners 'hop' on the parachute, and completed an egg and spoon course around the classroom!
