Year 2 and Year 4 had a treat when staff from Stein’s Patisserie came up to the school for an ‘alternative’ pancake day. They cooked up pancakes for the children who then took part in races across the school playground.

We decided to make the Lantern Parade even bigger and better this year by inviting other local schools and groups to join in. We were accompanied by Wadebridge School Samba Band who led our procession down through the town to the harbour where the Christmas lights were switched on. It was great to see so many different creations. There were Christmas trees, stars, a church, a snowman a ‘Shaun the Sheep’, a plane, some dragons and a mermaid to mention but a few.

We had great fun raising money for Children in Need by holding a Superhero Day! All the children and staff dressed up and the children took part in an outdoor lesson 'Save the Citizen' led by Mr 'Batman' Banks. The lesson involved the children tackling hurdles, crawling under a net, using a magic sword to hack away the undergrowth and finally putting on a pair of enchanted gloves to defeat the baddie and deliver the baby safely to its parents.
5 very lucky children had their names picked out of a hat and had a fantastic opportunity to experience how a comic book is put together. A couple of our parents offered their skills and expertise to produce a one off, special edition, Padstow School Superhero comic which will be available to all soon.
