What a blast we’ve been having in Kenwyn since the 8 th of March! Think of nature and how we, us humans, can help it. Let the weather and nature guide you to lands and deserts and soft silky beaches, and wet blue seas. Let howling wind blow, like a growling wolf. Gaze at glossy daffodil fields and bold foxglove patches.
If the birds don’t sing and the rain did not fall, listen to the wind and the gale. Listen to the patter of rain drops, falling on the path and the drops beating like drums.Īcorns fall in Autumn as blossoms bloom in Spring. Listen to the bird singing loudly, as loudly as a lion’s roar. Nature comes in sizes big and tiny, tall and small.Īs you rush past our Cornish hedgerows, only leaving a speck of red, as red as a robin’s breast, slow down, as slow as a snail. In case you have not had the chance to read Edith’s poignant poem, here it is Edith, we are all so very proud of you, our local celebrity. Not only did she bring tears to readers at school, but a member of the Cabinet who did the presentation followed after Edith at the end to express her love for the poem and said that it made her cry – your words are so powerful.
This week, Edith had the honour of collecting her certificate and prize for her beautiful G7 poem at an official presentation in Falmouth. All the children showed our Olympic Values whilst on camp the adults were blown away with their determination, friendship, courage and excellence. On day three, we returned to school but stopped off for a play and a picnic in the park. Children whittled their own sticks before roasting marshmallows on the fire to make smores.Īs well as all this, the children helped out around the site and were lucky enough to meet the chickens who provided their eggs for breakfast! This was followed by yoga and a silent disco before forest school began. Hot chocolate and a biscuit rounded off the day.ĭay two was just as action packed, with another hike, a very successful crabbing session and more campsite play. Kenwyn class had an amazing time, camping at Drift Farm.ĭay one saw us creating wild art on the beach, going for a (slightly chilly) dip and rock pooling before walking back to the campsite, where children enjoyed playing tennis, bouncing on the trampoline and exploring the site.
Children from Constantine are given as many opportunities as possible to swim and improve their water confidence and abilities in a pool and in open water as these are valuable skills to have when so much of what Cornwall has to offer is near or around water. We really value the importance of learning this life saving skill, especially when we live in a county that is almost surrounded by water. You can see us sculling and treading water below… can you tread water for more than five minutes? These children can and they can do it with one hand above their heads too! Recently we have been working our our stamina, stroke technique and also learning some survival skills. This means we can cater for the differing needs of our pupils within each KS2 class from complete beginners to those who also compete at local and county levels. Our children progress so much here and we are fortunate to have four swimming teachers/coaches on our staff. This six lane pool is 25m long and 1.2m at the shallow end and 3.5m at the deep end. We are so pleased to be back in the pool at RNAS Culdrose weekly.
