As we get ready to celebrate World Book Day 2023, every night leading up to the big day , we will be sharing a bedtime book virtually. These videos will be posted on Facebook, here on our website and on Class Dojo to enjoy at home.

February - Godolphin Class Topic Work
Godolphin have been making some fantastic models at home based on our space topic!
January 2023 - New topic: Out of this World
In Godolphin class we are enjoying our new topic ‘Out of this World’. We started by thinking about what we already know and what we would like to learn. We wrote questions and added them to our ‘curious questioning’ board.
This week we began to understand where we are in our solar system before we start to learn about the Space Race. We learnt a song and created a fold out solar system to remember the order of the planets from the sun.
December 2022 - Christmas Parties
Carn Brea and Godolphin have joined forces this week for lots of Christmas fun! All Classes had a great time!
December 2022 - Christmas Dinner
Christmas Dinner was a family affair this year. We managed to get all of the children into the hall at the same time to eat together (and the staff too!). We listened and sang along to some festive favourites, pulled crackers and had a lovely time. We are very thankful to our relief cook Victoria who has ensured our kitchen has remained open this week as our usual cook has not been in work. Without her there would have been no Christmas Dinner - so thank you Victoria!
December 2022 - Special Visitor in School
We had a very special visit in school this week from Father Christmas!
All children received a book from the Big Man himself. Children were very polite receiving their gifts and asked some great questions too. For those children that have been poorly and not in school, don't worry, your gift is being safely looked after and will be here ready and waiting when you return.
December 2022 - Experience Christmas at Penponds Church
Although the weather stopped us from visiting Penponds church for the Christmas experience on Monday, the church came to us! Thank you to the volunteers that changed their plans last minute to come to school and hold the workshops in the hall. The children had a wonderful time!
December 2022 - North Pole Challenge
Penponds School have been clocking up the miles toward the Trust-wide mission to achieve 4,237 miles from the MAT Central Office to the North Pole. Today the children and staff walked or ran around the field in their Christmas hats in the sunshine and blue sky. In the course of the week we have achieved 309 miles!
December 2022 - Christmas with the Aliens performance
Godolphin and Carn Brea classes have had a fantastic week entertaining staff, governors, parents and families with their Christmas with the Aliens performances. A huge well done to all the children and staff!
November 2022 - BBC Children in Need Day
To celebrate BBC Children in Need Day children and staff wore spotty or striped clothes to school today. Thank you to everyone who donated. So far we have raised £82.
Youth Royal British Legion Remembrance Service – Camborne Parish Church – Friday 11th November
This year our school councillors from Tregonning Class represented Penponds School at the Youth Royal British Legion Remembrance Service at Camborne Parish Church. All classes made a wreath and our councillors lay them on behalf of each class. We also made another wreath to add to our remembrance display for Queen Elizabeth II.
November 2022 - Lantern Making
This week we made lanterns in school for the Camborne Lantern Parade on Friday 25th November. Children helped made a large lantern in the hall and their own lanterns to take along. Parents and Grandparents enjoyed coming into school to help. Thank you to our special visitor and expert, Amanda Lorens for coming in to help us.
October 2022
Well done to our School Council: Rights Ambassador children! They attended and represetned the CRF Youth Conference at the Fibre Hub. They were a perfect ambassadors for our school and contributed to issues affecting our local community.
Message from George Le Hunte:
Thank you for attending our 2022 CRF Youth Conference at the Fibre Hub on Friday. 57 students, plus staff, were there from 10 Camborne & Pool schools. It was a wonderful event in a great venue. Please thank all your students that attended for their brilliant engagement in the conference & for their immaculate behaviour. I am sure they learnt a lot and I hope they pass that on to all their colleagues at school.
Thank you for partaking in our Youth Conference.

September 2022
Godolphin class went on a virtual trip to the rainforest this week. We used our senses to describe what we could hear, smell, see and feel. We wrote some very imaginative poems.
September 2022
Godolphin have been enjoying getting stuck back into learning after 6 weeks off. Our new focus story is ‘The Papaya that spoke’, we have been retelling the story every day using actions. Our new topic is ‘Down in the Jungle’, we have been using videos, books and pictures to discover what a rainforest looks like and what we might find there before we begin learning all about them.

Football Club
This week we started our PE football unit, it looks like we have some future stars in the making - great sportsmanship shown by all and a great attitude - look out Ronaldo and Beth Mead here we come!
Cookery Club
Yesterday the ‘Cooking Club Chefs’ were busy making Greek dips - hummus and tzatziki. The children peeled and grated garlic, zested and juiced lemons, chopped mint, cucumber, and carrots, measured out tahini paste, olive oil and water and used the food processor! All chefs were super well behaved and couldn’t wait to get stuck in. I’m looking forward to next week! Recipes can be found on Dojo.
