Aiding Development of Children's Handwriting
Wheal Rose were busy this afternoon practicing their fine motor skills with a range of challenges. These included using tweezers to move a number of items ranging in size and threading macaroni pasta! It was a wonderful afternoon! All of these skills will really help with the development of the children's handwriting.
Letters to Father Christmas
Wheal Lovely and Wheal Friendly posted their letters to Father Christmas today. The children enjoyed singing ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas” around the post box before sending their letters off with lots of Christmas cheer
An Evening of Training for the Staff
The staff enjoyed some fantastic training this evening, with a writing focus. It's been great working with Mitch Grammarsaurus so far. We're looking forward to some more CPD tomorrow, thank you!
Letter Writing
Pupils in Wheal Fortune wrote letters to environmental charities as part of our learning based on the enquiry ManKIND? Replies soon began to filter in with the charities impressed with what had been written.
Posting their Letters to their Chosen Environmental Charities
To conclude a fantastic 'ManKind?' Curriculum Enquiry Unit, Wheal Fortune and Wheal Plenty posted their letters to their chosen environmental charities. We hope to receive responses from them soon.
SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
Last half term as part of their curriculum enquiry ‘ManKind?’ the Year 5 and Year 6 children wrote formal letters raising their own concerns about the affect of climate change. Today we were amazed to have had some replies into school - one of which was from SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH himself! James and Tyler were delighted to receive their personal responses from such a well-respected figurehead.
