Art and Design

Class 2 have been learning about relief printing. The children planned a design using our initials in hieroglyphics, making sure it was the correcy size. Then they transferred their design onto foam boards and carefully cut out their 'printing blocks' Next, they used ink and rollers to make a print. The next day, when their prints were dry, they added in detail to their prints by carving bits out of their foam. They found that where they carved, the ink did not transfer to the paper.

Reigious Education - Easter

Class 1 have been learning about Easter, by finding out about religious symbols while making hot cross buns. They also had a lot of fun taking part in the PTFAs Easter egg hunt.

A statement from the Bishop of Truro

“Prince Philip fully embraced his role as the Queen’s consort, and his duty to support her, in way he made entirely his own. Playing such a supporting role must, in some ways, be harder than being the leading actor, as one is always required to have one’s eyes on someone else. But it was a role, as Duke of Edinburgh, which he fully embraced.

“At the same time there were numerous causes that he championed and made his own and which benefitted greatly from his initiative, drive and energy.

“When he married the Queen, with remarkable self-sacrifice, and in the interests of a higher good, Prince Philip immediately gave up many of his own hopes and aspirations, and the difficulty and selflessness of doing that should not be underestimated. It was a role he carried out for a lifetime. In his support of Her Majesty we owe him a significant debt of gratitude, and we thank God for him.”

Art and writing

Class 1 have been showing their artisitic skills by using watercolours to do some observational paintings of daffodils. The children have also been doing as much writing as possible since the return from lockdown. Their quality has been fantastic.

Reading safari

Class 3 took their daily reading outside again today and headed for the local woods. The children completed a three mile walk with lots of opportunities to stop and read along the way.

Nursery

Here is a snapshot of some of the wonderful learning and experiences our Nursurey children have been engaging in over the last few days. They are settling is so well post lockdown and seem to be having a huge amount of fun!

Reading in the sun

Class 3 took the opportunity of the good weather this morning to take their daily reading onto the village green. The children were able to enjoy their books with the sun on their backs!

Welcome back

It has been such a pleasure to welcome all the children back to school. The sun has been shining and we have been making the most of being able to take our learning outside.

Thank you again to everybody for all of your hard working with remote learning. I think all our parents and carers have done an amazing job!

Collective Worship - Returning to school

As part of our return to school, we are again holding Collective Worship. In line with social distancing rules, the children are staying within their class bubbles and have their daily worship via TEAMs. We have already being reviewing our school vision and our Christian values and over the course of the week, children will listen to stories, sing songs and celebrate many wonderful things.

The link below is a reflective prayer resource which has been created for children returning to school following lockdown:

School Vision

The children and staff at Duloe would like to say a huge thank you to our governor, Armand Toms, who has built this wonderful bench displaying our school name and vision. It is going to take pride of place within our school and we greatly appreciate Armand's time and skill in producing such a stunning item. We would also like to say thank you to Jewson's builder's merchants in Looe who kindly donated the wood. We are truly blessed.
