Our super Year 6 students were all presented with a copy of 'It's Your Move' this week, courtesy of Truro Diocese. The book provides the children with advice about transition to secondary school and how to relish the opportunity.
Bishop David has recently been announced by Downing Street as our next Bishop of Truro. The diocese are now preparing for his official welcome and they wished for children and young people to play a special part in his welcome service. A display will be made at Truro Cathedral and schools were invited to submit art work which welcomes Bishop David and shows why our school is special. Two of our very talented artists used their collage skills to create a masterpiece to send for the display. It includes our school vision, values and our school parable 'The Parable of the Lost Sheep'.
The service takes place at Truro Cathedral on Saturday 17 May.
Class 1 have been looking at Bible stories from
Holy Week and Easter. As part of their learning, they made hot cross buns which
they learnt was symbolic of the significant day in Christian faith when Jesus
was crucified.
Class 3 have been exploring
the concept of collage, they created a ‘mood board’ of ideas and different
techniques. In their final piece they will make a wild west wanted poster, they
will combine pattern, tone and shape for effect and justify why they have
chosen specific materials and methods.
Our Reception children
have been doing so incredibly well with their phonics and handwriting that they
were all presented with medals this week. The quality of their learning has
been amazing. Keep up the good work Reception!
A group of children from Year 3 and 4 visited Pensilva Primary School this week to take part in this year's Dance School Games.
The Dance School Games celebrated creativity and imagination with choreography that explored our natural environment and the impact of climate change. The School Games values were brought together to celebrate the spirit of the games in a unique event created by Cornwall’s young dancers.
As last week was Shrove Tuesday, Class 1 and Preschool made pancakes during their Forest School! The children have been learning about Shrove Tuesday and Lent during their RE lessons and they enjoyed incorporating this into their Forest School lesson.
On Friday a team of 8 girls from years 5 and 6
travelled to Bodmin Leisure Centre to take part in a girls football tournament.
They all played incredibly well winning 4 games out of 7. Well done Team Duloe!
Class 1 have been learning about road
safety. In the playground they practised ‘stop, look, listen and think’ with
our preschoolers being the traffic – although I think they went faster than
cars on the road!
On Thursday afternoon we hosted our
‘Duloe Speaks’ competition. 3 teams from our debating club presented 3 very
different arguments. ‘Music lessons should be free for all’, ‘Pluto’s status
should be changed back to a planet’ and ‘Solar is the most renewable energy
source in Cornwall’. We invited 3 guest judges, School Governor Penny Geach,
Duloe Parish Chairman Phil Hallworth and Cornwall Councillor Jane Pascoe. All
the teams presented their arguments incredibly well and it was a tough decision
to choose a winner. After a long deliberation by the judges team Eco Warriors
won by 1 point.
