The whole had a collapsed curriculum day today to focus on Art and Design, and specifically drawing. Children focused on different skills in different classes to produce 100 drawings of sheep to be combined in a display at our school entrance.
The parable of The Lost Sheep encompasses many of our school Christian Values and helps us to think as school as a family within which if we make a mistake we will always be forgiven and loved.
We have been hugely impressed by a number of children in Class 3 who have decided to organise and run an Arts club once a week for children from across the school to attend. They have had a huge turn out and the children have enjoyed sharing their creative flair to produce a number of wonderful pieces of artwork.
Class 3 have been learning how to take, upload and edit digital images in their computing lessons. The children have demonstrated their creative flair and captured some truly remarkable photographs.
Each half term at Duloe we hold an internal sports competetion based upon the area the children are focusing within their PE lessons. This half-term the children have been looking at target games, so we came together to show off our skills in a number of different ways.
As part of Class 1's Religious Education, we looked at 'Incarnation' in the build up to Christmas. The children made their own wreaths as part of their learning abour advent made from natural materials and decorated them with candles to represent the Sundays building up to Christmas Day.
This half-term Class 3 have been linking their learning to James Bond. In their computing lessons, they have planned and created their own movie trailers for a James Bond film of their own. The children have demonstrated fantastic technical ability and really shown their creative flair!
We are blessed to have some wonderful musicians at Duloe and many of our children have additional music lessons provided by the Cornwall Music Trust. This week we were treated to an amazing guitar performance from our children ranging from Year 2 to Year 6.
Huge congratulations also go to all of the children
who have represented the school through their sporting exploits over the last
few weeks. Year 2 did an amazing job at their multi-skills event at Looe
secondary, the cross-country team were fantastic in the rain at Lanhydrock and
this week also saw the inaugural Bridge Schools dodgeball competition at
Callywith College. Competing against children from the other 13 Bridge Schools our
children were really impressive!
The artistic talents of Duloe’s children will also
be displayed at the Houses of Commons in the new year. All of the painting the
children produced for our Harvest Service relating to climate justice were
entered into a national competition and two of our children’s painting have
been selected. Huge congratulations to Emily and Lucas who will have their
painting displayed at Westminster Palace.
We are very proud to announce that Rowan was a
winner in the Truro Diocese Christmas card competition this year. We have no
idea where he gets his artistic talent from!
