Thank you to everyone who joined us for the St Piran's Day Parade, despite the wet weather! We were so pleased to see such great support from our school community. A special thank you as well to those who helped transport our amazing boat to the parade – we couldn't have done it without you. We really appreciate everyone who came along to take part.

A big thank you to Felicity at Woodland Valley Farm for welcoming Trent Class on Tuesday. The children had a fantastic time learning about agriculture while exploring the farm. They enjoyed a wildlife walk where they tried to spot some beavers, as well as den making and a game of hide and seek in the woodland. It was also lovely for the class to meet the farm dogs and horses – and feeding the lambs was definitely a highlight! Thank you again for such a brilliant and memorable visit.

Today, our learners who are members of Newquay Hornets had the fantastic opportunity to visit Newquay Hornets RFC and watch Harlequins during a live training session. Seeing elite athletes train up close allowed the children to experience first-hand the dedication, professionalism, and excitement of top-level rugby. It was an inspiring experience for our young players and a brilliant way to strengthen their connection with the sport. A huge thank you to everyone at Newquay Hornets and Harlequins who helped make this memorable opportunity possible for our learners.

What a fantastic World Book Day we've had at NPA today! A huge well done to everyone who dressed up – we saw so many amazing costumes and brilliant characters from some much loved books. The effort and creativity from the children was wonderful to see. Each class also celebrated a different author throughout the day, exploring their stories and enjoying lots of reading activities together. Thank you to all the parents and carers for helping to make the costumes and for supporting the day. It was a brilliant celebration of books and reading for everyone!

We hope to see lots of you there to celebrate together.
