Each year schools are invited to compete in the Barnabas Award which is a competition to celebrate the Religious Knowledge curriculum taught in the county`s schools. Our entry this year focussed on the KS2 curriculum and all the work the children have been studying centred around the theme a ` Sense of Place`. Cornwall is often called `The Land of Saints` and Class 3 used their I.C.T., Art and Drama skills to discover more about the lives of local saints. In Literacy and Art Class 2 wrote an illustrated story based on Tudy and Mabena . Following our visit to Minions the children in both classes wrote some amazing poems that really impressed the judges with their imagery, sensitivity and reflective quality. Representatives from both classes were interviewed by the judges and did a splendid job. This all resulted in our school being awarded a distinction and invited to take part in the Barnabas presentations at Truro Cathedral on Sunday 10th June. On that occasion Class 3 will be presenting their play. Families and friends are welcome to accompany us and there will be a coach leaving the school at 12.00pm. More details will follow so do keep this afternoon free.
