Virtues
Next week, we will be learning about Patience and we will update you fortnightly on which particular virtue we are learning about.
Pebble Wood Project
It was wonderful to see so many people at Pebble Wood Day, to launch the woodland garden in memory of Sara Illsley. Sara was amuch loved Nursery Nurse, who worked with the Pebbles in Class 1 for over eight years and sadly died in May of last year. The presence of so many pupils, past and present, with their parents and grandparents, as well as friends and staff, in such wet and cold conditions, was a mark of tribute to how Saraendeared herself to everyone'shearts. The garden area was marked out at the end of the field and several trees were planted, along with daffodils at their base. We were delighted that Sara's husband, Nick, and their daughter, Charlotte, were able to attend and plant the first tree. We are looking forward to seeing the garden develop over the next few years, as the protective Cornish hedge is built, allowing less hardy trees to be planted. We hope to see the hedgerows full of native shrubs and wildflowers, as a reflection of the beauty of the natural environment Sara so loved. We were also able to pay tribute and remember a parent who has sadly passed away – Julie Byles. Her husband, Andy, also planted a tree in her memory. A big thank you to Lucy Trinder and Sally Pyner for co-ordinating the project and the activities and to the Kehelland PTA for providing refreshments. Please go to our website to view some lovely photos of the day, under the ‘news’ tab or, use the link below:
Wonderful Experience!
Below is a picture of Chloe Kind and Jamie Vardy from Leicester City Football Club. Chloe had the privilege of walking out onto the pitch with Jamie Vardy prior to Leicester’s match against Liverpool on Monday evening. I am sure this is an experience she will treasure for a long time.
3 Cornish Piskies & their Amazing Adventures
On Tuesday, the Rev Samuel Marsden came into school to share stories he has written about 3 Cornish Piskies, with children in Class 2 and 3. If your child would like a copy of the book, it is priced at £7.00. Please let Mrs Polglase, Mrs Orchard or Miss Campbell know if your child would like a copy and arrangements can be made for Mr Marsden to bring them to school. Please can payment accompany any order. Thank you.
Water Bottles
Please can all children bring in their own water bottle to keep in the classroom. It is not ideal for children to be sharing water bottles or cups. Water Bottles can be purchased from the school office at a price of £1.00 each. Thank you.
Dance Workshop
Cheap Date Dance are carrying out a workshop at school on Thursday 9th March ending in a performance for parents to come along and watch at the end of the day. We would therefore like to invite parents to school at 2.45pm. Parents will be seated in the middle of the hall facing outward towards a ‘running track’ style set up, which will limit space. The plan is for each class to perform a short show and when your child has performed, you will be able to take them home. In the case of siblings in other classes, children who have already performed can be accommodated in the library.
Class 1 Performance – 2.45pm
Class 2 Performance – 2.55pm
Class 3 Performance – 3.05pm
Please note that we cannot admit anyone into the hall until 2.45pm
