Cornwall School Games

Swimming

On Wednesday this week, Perran-

porth entered into the Cornwall School Games KS2 Swimming

Qualifier. This is a highly competitive event attended by schools

from all over Cornwall. Perranporth entered both boy and girl

teams for Year 5 and Year 6. As expected the standard of

swimming was very high and the competition was fierce. All of

the children from Perranporth gave maximum effort and swam

brilliantly throughout. The team came away with some incredi-

ble top 3 places in the individual races and what’s more… the

Year 5 boys team scored enough points to get through to the

next round! We will keep you updated on their progress going

forwards. A huge well done to all the children who took part.

Book Review Winner’s Trip

Last Friday the seven winners of our Book Review Competition were very excited indeed! They had all waited very

patiently for their prize of a trip into Waterstones in Truro to select their own book and on Friday afternoon, that’s ex-

actly what happened. The choice in Waterstones was a little overwhelming for some of the children with delibera-

tions between one book and another going on for quite some time. But after lots of umming and ahhing, head

scratching and blurb reading, the choices were finally made. It really was a lovely afternoon and wonderful to see

our children so enthused by books and reading! A huge well done to all for their brilliant book reviews.

There will be another book review competition in the near future, so keep a look out for another opportunity to win!

Christmas Decorations

Next Wednesday (6th Dec) every class is taking part in a ‘Christmas Creative Day’. Children will be

getting in the festive mood by making different decorations, cards and all manner of Christmassy and

creative stuff! It would be great to have some parent help during the afternoon session (from 1pm). If

you will be able to lend a hand and you’d like to join in the festivities, please let your child’s teacher

know. You can either message them through Class Dojo or let them know in person.

Christmas Jumpers and Fayre

Next Friday 8th Dec children can come to school wearing a Christmas jumper in return for

bringing chocolate for the Christmas Fayre chocolate tombola.

The Christmas Fayre will be taking place on the same afternoon straight after school in the hall.

Teachers will have a table top sale of children’s Christmas gifts and keepsakes alongside the chocolate

tombola and raffle. We are asking for every class to make contributions to the cake sale on this day too -

why not go for a Christmas theme? And finally Father Christmas will also be making an appearance and

no doubt listening to children’s Christmas wishes for his special list. Also, thank you so much for all of your

generous contributions to the Christmas hampers too, I’m sure they’ll be very popular at the fayre.
