Everyone at NPA is incredibly proud of Henry from Guillemots, who recently enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as an official mascot for England's rugby international against Australia. As a keen rugby player for Newquay Hornets Under 9s, Henry was invited by the Rugby Football Union to take part in a memorable matchday experience at Twickenham Stadium. His exciting day began by helping to welcome the England squad as they arrived, proudly waving an England flag alongside fellow mascots. Henry was then given access to the side of the pitch, where he watched both teams prepare for the match. During the warm-up, several players took the time to chat with Henry and the other young mascots, making the experience even more special. Before the game got underway, Henry joined the England team in the players' tunnel and had the chance to speak with England star Henry Pollock. The highlight of the day came when he walked out onto the famous Twickenham pitch alongside England lock Ollie Chessum, in front of a crowd of more than 81,000 spectators. Henry stood proudly with the players during the minute's silence and national anthem, creating memories that he will undoubtedly treasure for years to come. What an incredible achievement and experience. Well done, Henry! We are all so proud of you. 🏉👏

Today, we marked Remembrance Day with a two-minute silence and spent time learning about why we remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country. It was lovely to see some of our learners wearing their Rainbow, Brownie, and Scout uniforms as part of the commemorations. We would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Poppy Appeal. It was wonderful to see so many people wearing poppies throughout the day, and judging by the weight of the collection tin, we can tell our school community has been incredibly generous! Thank you for your support. 🌺

Robin Class learners have enjoyed a wonderful range of Art and Craft activities this week, linked to Fireworks/Bonfire Night and Remembrance Day. 🎆 We have also been busy exploring and playing with our new toys as we begin our exciting new topic, 'Toys'. In Maths, we have been learning about 2D shapes and developing our shape recognition skills. Our class story this week has been 'My Presents', which all of the children have absolutely loved! It has been a fun-filled and exciting week, and it has been lovely welcoming everyone back to school after the half-term break. 🙂

Children in Need 2026 💛 Today, we were lucky enough to welcome some very special visitors to Academy as part of this year's BBC Children in Need fundraising campaign! BBC Radio breakfast presenter James Churchfield and the one and only Pudsey Bear joined us to serve 26 school dinners as part of their exciting Children in Need challenge! James did a super job serving up the dinners, with our very own Jade supporting him in her new role for the day! We think he might have discovered a new talent! 🍽 This year's challenge links to the 26 Miles Run for Pudsey campaign, encouraging schools and communities to get involved by doing something linked to the number 26. Whether it's completing 26 skipping rope jumps, planting 26 bulbs, walking 26 laps or taking on your own creative challenge, every little action helps to raise awareness and funds for children and young people across the UK. Our children were absolutely delighted to meet James and Pudsey, and it was wonderful to be part of such a special event. A huge thank you to James and Pudsey for visiting us and helping to spread the Children in Need spirit. And a special thank you to our Jade for all her support with this challenge and for being such a good sport! 💛 What a fantastic way to get involved! 🐻 💛If you would like to make a donation to this years BBC Children in Need please use the link below - Thank you https://l.Facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.justgiving.com%252Fpage%252Fnewquay-primary-academy-16%253Futm_medium%253DFA%2526utm_source%253DCL%26data%3D05%257C02%257Ctpayne%2540npa.celtrust.org%257C70d7e151c4a74e87580b08df3becaa23%257C724c0a5749814d1c8f7a17e33a23eff3%257C0%257C0%257C639295559789763917%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DJ6PhTNUuGagmrF9SvOSCdg2%252FC8XvLVZHvl3yw6TmUyc%253D%26reserved%3D0%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAcGRvZgFicmlkETBlTlVxNEVjSjlkWWxCNjhzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHy5QeVftmX2PIQfEuh2uzK5aFg5uKj6uf3FHC9QWOhSfR9zGkqh0iXf_tbFM_aem__GRC-1uBfUuM7mZ7wZsC0A&h=AUDoZqIWAq7hUgJfTqSMAN2aIukXB1cWFbsc6Tg6t8lC3EqhTwgPB5eHJ3DiccqMy5oYU5YRVXMWZPMetP9j0lHrZ_NbzxBxg15c5Xcnz2yjn-6wa7iBSzwIYI3aPdTyj_UjcK-NMO62F5dq&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AUBi2aIPOO49jfy18tF8YVoinj09yUDLpNvzEK2GatUM5bPH9ce05zRopjCZ-cYsTU_lzALBJtMrfemFsWWyy2J_Ui4_zvckAqAJveBF-Lsa__8iHXZ_FgqN958RZB-MCRY7n5fOcV1JELA3l4hDJpTEAim3zdVS76ZM0Cqwj_MMe2bfAJLCFyNmsz5pqIWLNx7yYgOs48Npm9uP97dvGfuvJA
