Dear Parents/Carers,

What a lovely surprise Thursday’s party was! I knew absolutely nothing about it so thank you to all who contributed in any way. It was wonderful and I loved all the music. What talent we have! It was a privilege to unveil the brilliant mosaics that were made during arts week and all the generous gifts were much appreciated!

Many visitors commented on how great the children were and how welcoming everyone was when they looked around school.

Yet again, the children have excelled at sport, winning the Cornwall Games for Basketball. Congratulations to Jessica, Frank, Harry, Kieran, Aeryn, Matti and Jay D. for being the Cornish Champions! We also won the Perranporth tennis championships on Friday!

Trengrouse  Class had a fun morning  last week at “Heartlands”  with Miss Roberson, playing their recorders in a concert and attending music workshops. Today was the pre-school and Trevithick Class sports in glorious sunshine… at last!

Mrs Tremewan attended assembly last week to encourage children to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge. Further details can be obtained from Perranporth Library.

Kate Whetter ‘s woodwind pupils also performed at Wednesday’s assembly.

Dear Parents/Carers,

The children have had a brilliant week creating all kinds of artwork. Classes have worked together and a visiting artist has been making clay tiles with St Piran and Boscawen Classes. Trengrouse and Trevithick Classes visited the beach.

Davy Class has been busy rehearsing for their play “Keymaster”.

Reports

Yearly reports will be sent home on July 4^th except for Year 6 reports which will be a week later so they can include SATS results.

Parent Survey

It would be much appreciated if you would complete the following short survey. This will enable the school to ascertain areas of strength and development needs for the future. The class with the most responses will receive a reward! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/perranps. The link is also on the web-site.

If you have more than one child and wish to complete multiple surveys you will need to use another computer or request a hard copy. You are most welcome to use a school computer.

I apologise for the inconvenience!

The Great Summer Camp Out

The camp out was a great success – the rain held off for most of the time and over 30 people spent the night under canvas on the school field! Thanks must go to Robert Wiltshire for his amazing paella and BBQ skills. The event raised approximately £120 for school funds. Thank you to all those who joined in and helped out.

Summer Fayre

This year the summer fayre is being held on the Inner Green (Memorial Hall if wet). We have volunteers for most of the stalls but there are still a few spaces if anyone is free to help out. Please make yourself known to the school secretary or a member of the FOPS team. We are starting to ask for stall donations now. This week we are looking to collect empty screw top wine bottles. (yes empty!) Please leave them on the school hall steps for collection.

Parking

A reminder that permits are available for Wheal Leisure car park for the beginning and end of the school day.

Music Lessons

Is your child interested in learning a musical instrument? Weekly lessons are offered by peripatetic teachers from Cornwall Music in guitar, violin and woodwind.  With the exception of ‘string babies’ (violin lessons available to KS1 pupils), lessons are normally only recommended to KS2 pupils.  This does involve a financial (approximately £5 per lesson) and time commitment (practising!), so you need to be sure your child is really enthusiastic about learning.  Instruments can be hired through Cornwall Music and all details can be obtained from the school office.   It would be very helpful for organisational purposes if contracts can be finalised before the end of term please.

Sports Day

I apologise that Sports Day did not take place on Thursday due to the bad weather forecast.  It will now take place on Tuesday 25^th June at 1.30 pm.

Non-uniform Day

This will take place on Monday 8^th July when children are asked to wear their own clothes in return for a bar of chocolate for the Summer Fayre.

Best Wishes,

Liz Martin(headteacher)

Dear Parents/Carers,

Great News!!

The governors have agreed to the proposal that as from September there will be seven classes to accommodate growing numbers. There will be about 180 pupils in the autumn and this will mean smaller class sizes. A new teacher will be appointed in the next couple of weeks.

Other good news is that Mrs Lampier is now the assistant headteacher, in recognition of her position on the Senior Management Team as SENco and Early Years Co-ordinator.

Congratulations to Frank in Year 6 who won a gold medal for long jump and two silver awards for running in the under thirteens section the  Cornwall County Athletics Championships.

Bag2 School has raised £170 this morning so many thanks to all concerned!
