Our children are so lucky to have this great outdoor space to enjoy and create so many different learning experiences! The new Forest School timetable is now available to view on our school website. Please ensure you send coats/hats/warm clothes for Forest School sessions, as we make the most of our outdoor space when the weather permits us to!

E-Safety Both KS1 and KS2 attended an assembly based around E-Safety this week, to mark ‘E-Safety Day’ on Tuesday 11th February. We talked about how to stay safe online, how we should not share our information and how important it is to talk/show an adult anything that worries you. KS1 made amazing SMART posters in class!

Cornwall Air Ambulance Fundraiser

Our school council have chosen the Cornwall Air Ambulance as their charity to fundraise for this year. Penryn Primary Academy were supported by the Cornwall Air Ambulance last year following an accident on site, their response time was amazing and the crew were so helpful and friendly. Luckily, the Air Ambulance was a precaution and the ambulance service provided all the care needed. Our children got to speak to the crew and view the Air Ambulance and were very keen when they returned for a planned assembly!

The Cornwall Air Ambulance is a vital emergency service for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, as a charity they rely on donations to fund their vital work.

Our school children will be walking, running, skipping or moving a combined total of 1144 miles, which is the amount of missions the helicopter completed last year .

We are aiming to raise £1144; sponsorship will be taken via a ‘go fund me page’ by using the link below. Thank you in advance for supporting this cause and helping us reach our goal. Feel free to share this exiting news! https://www.gofundme.com/f/penryn-primary-academy-cornwall-air- ambulance?teamInvite=Hu2Os6PbbNJfEWM2Pza7QvgCZgkz0XNSuBhdD20nevphfNQWd3G3PViL9Td4ft3p
