So time has passed and here we are September, and here finally is this edition, although be it a little late as life has been a tad busy of late, what with the Flower Festival and the Agricultural Show, and I wanted both events over so as to write a little about each here in the gazette, so look out for the write ups and may I just say.. I have seen our little village come alive, most households joining in one way or another. Just brilliant, pulling together and just generally getting to know one another on another level. I hope those of you who have moved into this area have not been frightened of by our friendliness, and have got to know your neighbours...you see we don’t bite. I feel that we are here for one another, a community, helping one anoth- er, each with our own good points and bad points. You can close the door to your world or open in up and live in it. This is Tresmeer, Welcome! So here we are kids back to school, Your little ones leaving the home for their first time, some starting “big school” My! how time stands still for no one. Great to see all the boys and girls every morning, back at the shop. The football dusted of and played with. My goodness how some have grown! Come and join the police cadets again boys n girls on the evening of 12th September. It was great last time. 7pm. See advert page 22. At last, I have caught up, now for the next event to organise here in Tresmeer. Not a sleeping village.. God Bless

Will go anywhere Of course, this also lends itself to discussing the meanings of words spelt the same but with different meanings e.g. tap, sink, mine, show, bulb, etc. It is worth putting a list together to start them off. If they have access to paper and pencils, ask them to draw literal pictures of funny sayings Last years winner we use everyday, e.g. ‘Mum’s on the phone’, ‘My teeth are chattering’, ‘I have butterflies in 2012 Photographic Exhibition and my tummy’, ‘It’s raining cats and dogs’, etc. Again, it’s worth having a few ready before Competition starting. Make the longest sentence – start with a noun such as ‘rabbit’ then keep adding adjectives e.g. one rabbit, one grey rabbit, one young grey rabbit, one young soft grey rabbit, one On 23rd September 2012 Otterham young soft grey rabbit with long ears, etc – introduce a verb e.g. hopped and add adverbs and St Juliot Hall, Marshgate, will – hopped sadly, hopped slowly and sadly – where? - down the lane, down the country lane, stage the fifth Photographic Exhibi- down the long country lane etc. Children gain additional points in their SATs writing if tion to be held as part of the fund- they add interest to what they write so playing this encourages them to add better de- raising for a new Village Hall, and scriptions in their writing.

PAGE 35 PAGE 10 SUMMER TIME ACTIVITIES (or WET DAYS/WEEKENDS)
Hello again! Unfortunately, due to the wonders of technology the original version of this disappeared into the ether so failed to show in last month’s gazette. Apologies! I think these activities are still useful for various situations so I am sharing them again this month. As time has moved on, you may find yourselves more often indoors so I have add- ed ideas in italics for these occasions. In case you find yourself with children getting bored on car journeys or having to hang about with nothing to do and need to entertain them, here are some ideas that will fill the time but are extremely useful exercises to help support your children’s education: Using the letters from the car in front’s number plate to make words but also keeping the letters in the same order e.g. MNG – manage. The game could be made more inter- esting by saying that the one who makes the longest word is the winner or simpler for younger children by just using the first letter. At home, using a newspaper headline to pick out letters, names, cutting out letters of the alphabet – any way of choosing will add fun to the game. Or using the numbers to make sums. For older children the challenge might be: ‘How many numbers can you make using those numbers by adding, taking away, multiplying and/or dividing?’ Throwing 3 dice or choosing playing cards would provide numbers to use. Making numbers by giving them for example 1, 2, 3 and 4 – Can they make every number to 20 only using those numbers, e.g. 1 x 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3 and so on to (2 + 3) x 4 = 20? What other numbers can they make? How many different ways can they make each number e.g. 4 -3 = 1 or 4 – 2 - 1 = 1 etc. Choose a number, 12 works well, and ask them to think of as many sums that make that total of 12 – have a challenge of 50 – what tends to happen is that they discover use- ful facts such as using 0, adding and taking away the same number e.g. 12 + 7 – 7 = 12, multiplying by 1, dividing a number by itself, etc and once they have these ideas the sums they can make are almost limitless, become progressively intricate and gives a fantastic amount of practise – much more fun than doing ‘sums’ on a piece of paper. However, giving them a roll of scrap paper or sticking sheets together is great fun – to make the longest sum ever, e.g. a sum that goes all the way from the kitchen to …. Guess my number – everyone chooses a number and then gives clues for the others to guess what it is. Of course, this could be played by sticking a post-it note on everyone’s forehead with a secret number on. Give them a three-lettered word e.g. ate. How many words can they spell that end in ‘ate’? - e.g. bate, crate, date, fate, gate, grate, hate, late, mate, plate, rate, skate, etc – this is a very useful spelling tool as often children think learning to spell is endless and don’t realize that once they’ve learnt one spelling many others follow with little effort. This would also provide an opportunity for them to make their own rhyming dictionary – younger children could make simple ones, such as at, bat, cat, fat, etc. They could even illustrate them.

One family staying at Little Harbour had two siblings who were asked to choose what they’d like to do that day, whether they’d like to visit a local attraction, go shopping, spend the day Central Heating * Servicing * Bathrooms * Solar Panels on the beach, just go out and about. Their answer….? Craig Williams “We want to stay here at Little Harbour because it’s so brilliant!” Mum & Dad went out on their own for the day and over breakfast the siblings made a list of what they wanted to do; Plumbing & Heating Engineer Jacuzzi, Computer Room, Messy Play, relax for a bit, ride the bikes in the gardens, The Barton, Laneast, Launceston, PL15 8PN Soft Play Room, and, have loads of fun!! All the items were ticked off the list several times over! OFTEC & Gas Safe, APPROVED Many families staying at Little Harbour are enjoying their first or only opportunity to have a holiday.
