PTA living gifts! 

Thank you so much to the PTA for their classroom gifts this week which included bean bags, tents and fish! The children took great care setting up the tanks, getting the environment just right for the new arrivals. Some have already been named and they are enjoying being part of our lessons! Thank you to all involved for making it happen. 

 


 

Harvest Daily Mile in support of Liskeard Food Bank

Thank you so much for joining us in St Cleer church today to celebrate Harvest and support Liskeard Food Bank. Running club and 2 very supportive parents completed the daily mile at 9am and everyone else completed it across the morning. It was a lovely reminder about how movement brings joy and we are here together as a community to support each other. It takes great strength to ask for help and it is great to have such a supportive community ready and waiting to offer help when it's needed! Thank you!

 


 

Black History Month 2023

In this week's assembly we look at the incredible achievements of some incredible people of black heritage. Martin Luther King, Simone Biles and Fanny Eaton just to mention a few. If you are interested in exploring further please visit: https://theblackcurriculum.com/blog/5-iconic-black-british-women-in-history-you-should-know

At St Cleer we are a vibrant tapestry of experiences and our family culture and experiences are shared and celebrated - we are all equally valued and have different things to offer just by being ourselves.

It is only by meeting people with light and love that we can create a world where we all thrive. Martin Luther King said it best when he said: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

 


 






2023-2024 Team Captains

Congratulations to our democratically voted Team Captains this year. We thoroughly enjoyed your videos and well done for gaining a majority vote! A perfect opportunity for the school to explore the British Value of Democracy and Rule of the Law in a school context. We look forward to working with you all this year and hearing some of your fantastic Team ideas! Go Kilmar! Go Sharptor! Go Bearah! Go Cheesewring!

2023-2024 Student Leaders

Well done to our Student Leaders 2023-2024 - this is a crucial ambassador role in supporting the students, staff and upholding the school values - we are very proud of you both!

A fantastic start to the new term! 

It has been a really successful start to the new academic year. It was fantastic to see the children so enthusiastic on return and they have settled into their new classes really well. In addition to the learning on site at school, this year we are busy planning clubs, trips, residentials and wider curriculum opportunities. Please bear with us as we set all of this up and we will share details with you once these have been firmed up. We will offer Bikeability again this year in Reception, Year 4 and Year 6 as well as swimming in Year 4. Full details of these will be communicated to parents across the year and we look forward to the learning at school and beyond.

We will soon be looking at elections for our Team Captains and Student Leaders 2023-2024 – Miss Kite will share further information with the year 6 parents/carers and we will hold a whole school election as we did last year. These ambassadors will support many things including enabling students in sharing their ideas for enhancing life at St Cleer.

As well as these ambassadors every class has an ‘I wish my teacher knew box…’ and there is an ‘I wish my headteacher knew…’ box outside my office for children to add thoughts, ideas and questions across the year. We always take their ideas into consideration.

Our focus value for assembly this half term is ‘Be creative…just like a chameleon!’

Parent and Carer Questionnaire 

Thank you in advance for completing the parent survey here if you can – your feedback matters to us.
If you would like a paper copy of the survey please let us know:https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=_2syUoq6KE2kTQgpDR9z3mxSE9HtK0ZFs5V0Irio-wBUQkxUWFZYMExINzNRMjY3NE9MV0U4TkFaVC4u

This year we used your feedback from the last parent survey to:
• Develop the parent curriculum maps to share the learning with you more
• Try to slim-line our communications to you
• Share dates of events in as much advance as we can
• Be available to you at drop off and pick up and meet/call you when we can
• Share the learning with you when you visit the children’s classes/assemblies

 


Excellence from a height! 

Our Year 6 pupils have been exploring lots this week - Adrenalin Quarry, Polzeath beach and Duchy College! They have taken brave leaps into the unknown this year and shown that by going for it you can achieve what you really set your mind to! Excellence in action!

In assembly this week we talked about needing to be brave, bold and determined to achieve excellent. It is only by revisiting things and practising (lots!) that excellence can be achieved - even when it is tricky or scary. What have you done this week to take that bold step towards excellence?

 


National Online Safety Guides for Parents - OMETV 

OmeTV is an emerging social networking app that aims to let its users connect, ideally forming new friendships or simply getting to meet interesting people from all around the world. It’s not particularly new technology, but it’s remained popular amongst younger audiences. OmeTV uses video chats to randomly connect its users, much like its better-known sister app, Omegle. Unfortunately, OmeTV still carries the same risks as its competitors. With so many users being so lightly regulated, there’s real potential for some unpleasant characters to make use of the app. Visit: https://nationalonlinesafety.com/guides for more parent guides and information to support.
