Another great week at Penryn Primary Academy! Great learning taking place across the school. Here’s a few things we have been doing :

Forest School: den building and toasted marshmallows… great fun!

Year 5 have loved getting crafty in science and learning all about 8-figure compass points and how to use them on maps.

Year 4 have been exploring Hinduism and the concept of ‘atman’ where every living being is special and sacred. Godrevy related this to both history and current affairs.
