Well Done Year 6
This week Davy Class have been working exceptionally
hard to complete their End of Key Stage 2 Assessment Test
(SATs). Every morning the children have started each day
with a ‘Brainy Breakfast’ and then got straight on with the job
in hand. From Monday to Thursday they have had a number
of tests to assess their abilities in reading, spelling, punctua-
tion, grammar and also maths. We are genuinely so very
impressed by the children’s drive and commitment to simply
doing their absolute best in these assessments and we are
all very proud indeed of the efforts they have made. Well done Davy Class!
Year 4 Eden Trip
Trengrouse class had an exciting adventure this
week at the Eden Project. They have been learning
all about The Amazon as part of their topic and so
what better way to enhance their learning than go-
ing to see a real (sort of!) rainforest in Eden’s bi-
omes. The children had a fantastic time completing
their training to become a Rainforest Ranger and
found out lots of new tips and ideas on how to sur-
vive, including using bamboo to create fire through
friction! It was a very exciting day out and they
thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, whilst also
learning lots about rainforest survival.
Running Man!
This week in our assembly, our Year 5 teacher Mr McCallum shared the exciting news that he will soon
be taking part in ‘Hope 24’. This is a gruelling 24 hour running challenge taking place in Plymouth next
month. Mr McCallum is a very keen runner and is now looking to stretch his abilities by running more
than 60 miles and raise money for two great causes at the same time - ‘Hope For Children’ and
‘Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team’. He is sharing this news in case any of our school families would like to
make donations - see the details below. Thank you.
CAN YOU HELP?
Who: Mr McCallum
What: Running solo in a 24hour Challenge

Year 4 Beach Clean
On the back of our previous success with the school litter pick morning, this term all of our classes are
supporting our drive to keep Perranporth tidy by taking part in a beach clean. On Wednesday, Year 4
got us started by making the trip down to the beach to meet Goonhavern School who have had the
same idea. The children had a talk about how much plastic is on our beaches and in the sea and how it
has such a terrible impact on wildlife. They then took part in a quiz before finding lots of plastic in the
sand, which we are hoping to combine with the other classes to turn into an art, collage design.

FOPS Announcements
Recycling Fundraiser: If you are anything like us, you probably have shelves of
DVD's that no-one ever wants to watch again and stacks of CD's that are gathering
dust. If you do, then this is your chance to get rid of them and raise some money for the
school at the same time. Music Magpie will pay the school for every good condition CD and DVD that they
accept. From the 4th to 8th June please bring your donations into school. We can only accept discs that are
not too scratched and that come with the original sleeve. Thank you
Summer Fayre: As you know the Summer Fayre is set for the 20th July. We are looking for local people and
business owners to kindly donate items for raffle prizes. These could be all sorts of things from crafts, experi-
ences or just something nice! If you have any ideas or know someone then please get in touch with either a
FOPS member or the School Office. Thank you.
Father’s Day: On 14th June we will be celebrating all the wonderful things about fathers by having a gift fund
raiser. Children will be able to select a gift and have it wrapped ready for the special day!
