TREWIDLAND SCHOOL 1st October 2018 NEWSLETTER Issue 2 School Website - www.trewidland.cornwall.sch.uk SMART website - www.smart-trust.net Cornwall Music Education Mr Phil Montgomery-Smith from Cornwall Music Education Hub came to Trewidland last week to begin teaching the children in Class 2, over the next three weeks, some songs that they will sing along with six other schools in the area on the 17th October. This will take place as part of World Music Day at Liskeard School & Community College. Neighbourhood Development Plan Mrs Alisa Tween from Dobwalls and Trewidland Parish Council came into school to talk to the children about the Neighbourhood Plan. Mrs Tween showed the children a map of the parish and explained what the Neighbourhood plan is and asked for suggestions of what sort of things the children would like in the plan. Before leaving Mrs Tween has asked the children in Class 2 to write a letter to her explaining what they like about the village and surround- ing area and what they would like to change and why. In Class 1 they have been asked to draw a picture and label what they would like to see in the village. All the children’s work will be displayed later in the year in the village hall.
