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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
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.
A team of 6 children from Duloe travelled to
Callywith College to take part in the annual Bridge Schools Dodgeball

A huge well done to them all for representing Duloe so well.
