Football News

On Thursday this week, two Y3 and Y4 football teams braved the icy wind to represent Perranporth in

some friendly matches against Blackwater School. Our teams were named ‘Perranporth Town’ and

‘Perranporth United’ and were a mixture of Y3 and Y4 boys. The first match saw Perranporth United take

an almost instant lead and then the goals came thick and fast from lots of players. A great result for the

home team with a 5 - 0 win! Perranporth Town had a more challenging match with lots of end to end

action. Again, Perranporth took an early lead and seemed to dominate the opening spell. As we had

an extra player, Arty very kindly agreed to play for Blackwater to try to keep things fair. This made a

huge difference and ensured a very exciting game which finished 2 –2. Despite the freezing weather,

everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and represented the school brilliantly! Thank you for the great

support from parents and a huge well done to all!

Online Safety Parent Workshop

On Wednesday the 8th of February at 3:30pm we will be hosting an online

safety information event for parents and carers of children in every year

group. PC Andy Mulhern along with an online safety PCSO and Mrs Rob-

erson (ICT Co-ordinator) will be delivering this presentation. The session will

provide practical advice and safety tips to help manage online safety is-

sues, and discussions surrounding suitable behaviour online. The children

will also be taking part in a series of E-safety sessions throughout the week

during the school day.

Playground Leaders

At playtimes and lunchtimes we now have some new Playtime Leaders! These Year 6 volunteers went

through some special training with Mr Howes in leadership skills and different types of games. Acting as

great role models, the Playtime Leaders have been teaching some of our younger children lots of new

games and skills with some exciting new playtime equipment. The leaders have been a great success

at lunchtimes and lots of fun for everyone involved.

Indoor Athletics

Our Year 5 and 6 athletes had a great time at the Cornwall School Games Indoor Athletics qualifier this

week. They produced some excellent results, with the girls relay team storming to victory in their heat

at the end of the session. Everyone did their absolute best and can be truly proud of their contributions

to an excellent team effort. The events included relay races, obstacle courses and javelin throws, as

well as long jump and our favourite, speed bounce! We came sixth in the event and are very proud of

all involved!
