This week in Cornwall 5

Week beginning 8th June 2026

Dear parents and carers,

In English this week, we planned and wrote letters to school children in Sierra Leone. Mrs Hughes has been working to establish a link between our school and Christchurch Primary School, Freetown, Sierra Leone and Year 5 have been chosen to take part. We await to hear what other activities the children will be able to take part in.

In Maths, we have started our new topic on Decimals. The children have used known facts to add and subtract decimals within 1 and across 1. Next week the children will be looking at adding and subtracting decimals with different numbers of decimal places.

In History this week, we have been comparing life in the Ancient Greek Dark Ages to the Ancient Greek Archaic period. We have found out that many people left Greece during the Dark Age and that many skills including writing were lost until the Archaic period emerged. In the next lesson, we will be focusing on City States and day to day life during the Classical era.

Please may we remind you to send your children to school with a raincoat as the weather is unpredictable at the moment.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Nash, Mrs McGinley and Mrs Walker.
