Star Surfers

On Thursday this week, several children from Perranporth School hit the beach for the Newquay Schools Surf

Competition. The weather was a bit miserable but this didn’t seem to dampen the children’s surfing spirits as

they took to the waves. All of the children gave incredible performances and secured some top places. In fact

Seb and Will from Year 5 even made it through to the semi finals and finished the event in the top 6! An enor-

mous well done to all of those competing and a big thank you to the parents who came along to support!

Thank you!

Phonics - Open Morning

A huge thank you to all those who came along to the Phonics Open Morning this week. The

feedback from parents was very positive with people saying that they found the sessions very

helpful in understanding how we teach phonics and how they can better support their children at home with

reading. If you weren’t able to attend, don’t worry here is a link to a previous parent workshop that will give you

lots of helpful information on phonics at Perranporth School: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Book Sale

Thank you very much to everyone who came along to support the FOPS Book Sale

in the Hall this Thursday afternoon. It’s brilliant to see the children so keen to pick up

some new reading material and enjoying lovely stories. The sale managed to raise

over £40 for the FOPS funds which goes back into directly supporting the children at

school. Thank you so much to the willing volunteers who put on such a brilliant sale!

Mud Kitchen - Donations

Over the summer our wildlife area at the front of the school had a makeover! We

now have a fantastic outdoor classroom with a wooden tepee, pond, class seating

and a mud kitchen. In order to make best use of this resource, we’re looking for do-

nations of pots, pans and cooking utensils for the mud kitchen. If you have any old

or unwanted items, please pass them onto your child’s teacher. Thank you very much!

We would like to invite parents and families to our Building Learning Power workshop on Tues 8th Oc-

tober. Our BLP ambassadors, along with Mr. Harris are looking forward to seeing you all at the work-

shop 3.30pm in the hall. This will be a great opportunity for parents to find out more about BLP, how it

can help your child learn and of course to see our ambassadors showcasing their BLP skills. All wel-

come! Just as people go to a gym to develop their physical fitness, children at Perranporth School

are now developing their learning fitness. In the same way that bodies can become fitter, so too can minds. Come

along on Tues 8th October to find out more!

Halloween Disco - Friday 18th October:

Our annual Halloween Disco is booked for Friday 18th October in the school hall. Reception &

KS1 disco will be from 5-6pm and KS2 from 6.15-7.15pm. Come along in your scariest cos-

tume! Entrance fee of £2 will be payable on the door. There’ll be hot dogs on sale

Oct, 50p per entry. Children can bring in their carved creations to display in the hall and

then be judged. There will be a winning prize for each class!

Coats in School

Now the wet weather seems to be upon us more frequently, please can we ask that parents ensure

their child comes to school with a coat. If the rain isn’t too heavy we do like to let the children get

some fresh air and have a run around at playtimes and lunchtimes. To do this children do need to have

a named rain coat available to them in school. Thank you.

Keep Perranporth Tidy - School Litter Pick

Our first ’School Litter Pick Day’ of this year is scheduled for Tuesday 15th October . On this

morning we are encouraging children to walk to school and collect litter on their route.

There will be a prize for the class who have the most contributions of rubbish that day - an

incredible trip to Suez Energy Recovery Centre! We hope that this morning will encourage

children to think more about littering problems, about not just walking past litter and ulti-

mately not dropping litter themselves. There will be two bins so that recyclable litter can

be correctly recycled, so please do feel free to separate whatever you find.

We hope as many of you as possible will join in with this exciting event and help keep our

streets litter free and inspire our children. We would like to say a huge thank you Faye Clif-

ton and Green and Blue for organising these brilliant litter picks and being so supportive of

our school and community! Thank you!
