Padstow School News

The children released 30 painted lady butterflies into their school garden last week after they had watched them transform from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly in their live butterfly garden. 

We held a My Money Week to explore in a little more depth issues surrounding money, savings, interest and expenditure. Each class had lessons revolving around these key areas throughout the week. The children were also visited by Darren Rowe and Dominic Walford from the Riverside Financial Advise Centre in Wadebridge who demonstrated to children the importance of saving.

Year 4 have been busy designing a very long paper scarf to send to the Prime Minister as part of the Campaign for Global Education.This is the third year that pupils from the school have sent a reminder to the world’s leaders about their promise to provide universal education for all by 2015.

Well done boys!

Padstow School Ex Pupils Open Evening
Thursday 27th May 3.30-5pm
For all pupils who have left since July 2002 to come back and see us. The school will be open, all the teachers will be here. Come back and let us know how you are getting on. We'd love to know what you're up to.                             

We had a fun packed time during Stay Healthy Week. Adrian Oliver came in to help the children discover the delights of fruit, vegetables, bread and fish. Some of our children went to Stein's seafood school to make sushi, pancakes and pizzas and others visited Padstow Farm Shop to find out how fresh pasta is made!

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 are delighted to have achieved the prestigious Gold award on the Green Tree Schools Award programme from the Woodland Trust.

We won the award for participating in green activities which include, tree planting, developing a sculpture forest, growing our own produce and building the new music and staff room based upon the principles of sustainability.

The children in the Reception Class have been enjoying a new set of waterproof outfits. They were bought to allow them more freedom to get outside and explore aspects of the curriculum in the outdoor environment.
