Road Safety 


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! 

 


Duloe Speaks  


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.

 


World Book Day 

Today we celebrated World Book Day. The children (and staff) all looked magnificent in their outfits. We have a host of activities planned for the day. With a preschool reading session, 'Duloe Speaks' competition and publishing work ready for our class books to be made.

 


Preschool Reading Session 


On Thursday 6th March, to coincide with World Book Day, Preschool will be launching our new book sharing scheme.

Families are invited to borrow from a range of quality books that will be situated in our ‘loan box’ as you enter Preschool.

We believe that reading sits at the heart of our school curriculum, and we want to foster a life-long culture of reading for pleasure.

On the day, each Preschool child will be given a Duloe Academy book bag along with a reading diary. These reading diaries can be used to record the children’s reading (please see attached ‘Reading Karate’ letter).


We would like to invite any parents/carers who are available to come along to our playgroup session between 9am and 11am next Thursday (dressing up optional!), so we can share the work we have been doing regarding reading and how you can support your child at home.

Multi Skills 

A team of 6 students represented Duloe at a multi skills event held at Saltash Community School. The children had a wonderful time and came 3rd overall - Well done Team Duloe!


 


Creative for Climate Justice 

In November, all the children created artwork to enter the Get Creative for Climate Justice Parliamentary Exhibition. We have just heard that two of our very talented artists have had their work chosen for the exhibition. Their artwork will be shown in an exhibition at the Houses of Parliament. Very well done!

 


Religious Education with Reverend Ben  


On Tuesday we had a visit from Reverend Ben to all our classes.
In Class 3 they talked about science vs creation, the children grilled him with their theological questions and Mr Hodgins asked about the meaning of life.

Class 2 looked at 'Why do Christians call the day Jesus died ‘Good Friday’? They were able to make links between the Gospel texts and how Christians mark the Easter events in their church communities.

Class 1 explored 'Which stories are special and why?' They looked at what people believe and the difference this makes to how they live.
 

 


Out of this world - Art 


Mr Hodgins hosted a TEAMs call where he taught Class 3 how to scan an image on the photocopier, the children will then use software to alter and adapt them. Their scanned images will be used to create a piece of artwork which can be used as part of a wider presentation about the planets in the solar system.

 


Safer Internet Day 


 


Bridge Schools Dodgeball Tournament 


A team of 6 children from Duloe travelled to Callywith College to take part in the annual Bridge Schools Dodgeball tournament. All 15 Bridge schools were represented and our team from Duloe did an amazing job. The children showed great sportsmanship and played incredibly. A huge well done to them all for representing Duloe so well.
