hot seating

Class 1 are learning about the people who used to live in castles - barons and ladies, knights and squires, servants, jesters, falconers, armourers,pages and peasants. They dressed up and took turns to be "hot seated" and answer questions about their lives, in character.

String Quintet inspire pupils with their Musical performance


Children at St. Mabyn School were enraptured with the performance of
string instruments played by the Cornwall Music Service. Many children at
the school already learn an instrument: flute, clarinet, saxophone,
guitar, drums and recorder but it is hoped more pupils will take up the
learning of a string instrument. Millie is the only pupil to learn the
cello at St. Mabyn School. She is a member of the Trigg String Orchestra
run by Barbara Degener. Millie learnt she had passed her Grade 2 cello
exam with merit and was presented at school with her certificate by
Barbara.

The Bishop of Truro visits


The new term started at St. Mabyn School with a visit from the Bishop of
Truro, the Very Reverend Tim Thornton. He talked to the children and answered
their questions about what a bishop does and how one becomes a bishop. He
also confided to the children that he is a keen supporter of Leeds United!
Pictured are some of the children with Bishop Tim.
