TREGOLLS ACADEMY
Summer Camp
Friday 26th April 2013
There will be a meeting for all parents and children
who are attending this year’s Summer Camp at
Porthpean on Thursday 2nd May at 3.20pm in the hall.
Mr Watkins, Fowey Class Teacher will be discussing
what kit is needed and what activities will be taking
place this year.
Helford Poets
Earlier this year, Helford Class entered the ‘Young
Writers’ My First Rhyme’ competition. They each
wrote a poem about their senses as part of their
Sensational topic last term. Many of the children
have achieved the success of having their poem
published in a special book called ‘My First Rhyme –
The South’, in July. Well done Helford Class!
Football Fun
A team of year 4, 5 and 6 girls coached my Mr
Plechowicz, took part in their first ever football
tournament. They had never trained or played
together before. Although they did not win any
matches, they showed immense character and
resolve playing against some very experienced
teams.

Home Learning Links
This week I have updated the website to
support learning at home; in all areas of the
Curriculum. If you click on the children’s tab,
follow home learning and as well as Espresso, you
will now have access to over a 100 interactive
resources. Please remember the impact that you
have at home, for a child under 7 a school’s
impact is 5%, compared to parent’s impact of
29%. A child from 7 to 11 the impact is 27% at
home and 21% at school. Please visit the website
to read more on this researchhttp://www.tregolls.cornwall.sch.uk/support-athome/. I have also put access to Key Stage 2
Project ‘W’ on the home learning link.
Summer Uniform
I have been asked by a number of parents
about what colour the girls summer dresses
will be. I am in talks with Dr Vann to decide on
this and I will let you know as soon as a
decision has been made. I thank you for your
patience whilst we are trying to resolve this.
Chickens Eggs
Now that the better weather is here, the
school chickens are laying more eggs. These
are available to buy from Justine Gray for a
donation. All monies go into the upkeep of the
chickens and enable the Gardening Club to buy
more seeds and equipment. It also teaches
the children how enterprise works.
Thank you to the parents who have been kindly
looking after the chickens during the school
holidays.
Mayor Visit
On Wednesday 24th April, the Mayor of Truro
visited the school to present some of the
Gardening Club members and Mr Piperithis with
gardening and wildlife items. These have kindly
been donated by the Truro In Bloom committee
who received a grant from the Big Lottery
Fund.
A big thank you to Mr Piperithis who runs
Gardening Club on a voluntary basis along with
some other keen parent volunteers.
Interactive Newsletter
In the coming week I will be canvassing your
opinion on having an interactive newsletter. This
would reduce cost considerably on paper and
printing. For parent’s of children from Penair, it
will follow the same format of being sent
directly to your e-mail address. However, if you
don’t have an e-mail address a copy will be put on
the school website and the notice board.
Best wishes,
Mr. M. Middlemore
