This week in Cornwall 5

Week beginning 6th July 2026

Dear parents and carers,

Cornwall had their moving up day on Monday and enjoyed getting to know Miss Aldis. They took part in a variety of activities and went through routines and expectations getting ready for Year 6 in September.

In English this week, the children planned a narrative about Peter’s time at Vola’s. Peter is the main human character in our term's text and he has run away from home looking for his pet fox, Pax. Vola has taken in an injured Peter and is helping him to recover so he can continue his quest. The children started their narrative with a setting description of Vola’s place and explored different ways of using interesting vocabulary effectively by mind mapping their ideas.

In Maths, we have been learning to convert between different units of metric measure (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre) The children have had opportunities to solve problems and to think of real life situations using these units of measure.

In Science, we were exploring filtration as a way of separating very small solid particles mixed with liquids. We experimented filtering muddy water through a coffee filter paper, cotton wool and an old sock! We were suprised at how effective these all were and used a water clarity measurer before and after the filteration process to measure the effectiveness.

Please can we remind you to ask your children to apply sun cream before coming to school and to bring their sunhats.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Nash, Mrs McGinley and Mrs Walker.
