Our children were treated to a spectacular performance of Treasure Island, brought to life by the incredibly talented cast of M&M Theatrical Productions. From the very first moment, the hall was filled with excitement, adventure, and a touch of swashbuckling magic! The energy, creativity, and humour of the performers completely captivated the audience. The children were enthralled as the classic tale unfolded before their eyes, with vivid characters, lively storytelling, and plenty of surprises along the way. Laughter, gasps, and wide-eyed wonder could be seen throughout, as the story carried them on a thrilling journey across the high seas. When asked about their favourite part the children said: "They did lots of songs & were great actors " Isabelle Year 4 "When there was fire coming out of the gunit was wow! I like it when the actors made us laugh" Luyanda Year 5 "The sword fighting scenes were exciting! There were lots of funny bits like Ben Gun being stuck on the island for 4 years" Charlie Year 6 "I liked the way they knocked the down the wall to find the treasure" Jenson Year 5 "Have you got any cheese? Then he named all the cheeses! It was so funny!" Logan Year 5 "I liked it when the parrot kept saying 'thousands'. He was Jim's worst enemy!" Brynley Year 5 "They all danced at the end and we clapped and cheered", Hettie Year 5 It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience live theatre in such an engaging and memorable way. A huge thank you to M&M Theatrical Productions for delivering such a brilliant and inspiring performanceone that will no doubt be talked about for a long time to come!

As part of our Healthy Me topic in PSHE, Year 1 and Year 2 have thought about foods that are healthy and unhealthy and designed their own fruit skewers. We linked this to our science knowledge this term when we have been thinking about healthy foods in each of the food groups. We then made the skewers and really enjoyed eating them! Lots of us want to try making these at home and have discovered a new healthy snack.

Year 3 enjoyed an exciting and memorable trip to the Farm and Country Day at the Royal Cornwall Showground, where they joined children from schools across the South West. This fantastic experience supported their geography learning about agriculture in a fun and hands-on way. Throughout the day, the children discovered where our food comes from, how it is processed, and how animals are cared for. They were thrilled to see impressive machinery such as combine harvesters and loved getting up close to farm animals including lambs, cows, and pigs. One of the highlights was the chance to take part in food-making activities. The children had a go at producing flour, making bread, and even preparing eggy bread. They also learned how ice cream is madeand were delighted to enjoy a tasty sample themselves! The day was packed with fascinating demonstrations, including milking, ploughing, harvesting, auctioneering, planting, and butchery. It was a truly enriching experience, full of learning, discovery, and fun, and the children had a fantastic time exploring all that farm and countryside life has to offer.

Our Young Carers group enjoyed a wonderful lunchtime today, getting hands-on in the garden with Ms Hann. The children worked together to replant our outdoor pots, arranging flowers with great care and creativity. It was lovely to see them chatting, laughing, and taking pride in brightening up the school environment. Activities like this give our Young Carers a chance to relax, connect with one another, and enjoy some well-deserved time outdoors.
