What a week!

It’s been a fantastic time for everyone who joined us at Camel Creek. Both Wheal Owles and Wheal Fox classes had a wonderful time at their end-of-term parties and two very special leaving presentations.

The staff would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to all our families for the beautiful cards and generous gifts we received. They were completely unexpected but very much appreciated. Thank you!

We wish all our leavers the very best as they move on to the next stage of their school journey. We would also like to wish every child and their family a happy, safe and restful summer break.

We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 7th September.

The children in Wheal Owles & Wheal Fox have been enjoying the classic story of The Three Little Pigs. The story's repetitive phrases (like "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin") and a clear beginning, middle, and end help children build vocabulary, practice sequencing, and retell stories. We have taken nature walks to the field in search of the wolf & the three pigs, noticing real animal & insect habitats along the way. Acted out the story using prompts, which helps children build empathy, confidence, and social-emotional skills. We’ve had fun building houses from straw & sticks, decorated our play house with bricks, using blocks & paint to print patterns & incorporated junk modelling to build towers. A story & activities thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Yesterday afternoon, the children in Wheal Fox enjoyed a fantastic Sports Day.

The afternoon was filled with fun, laughter, smiles, and plenty of team spirit as the children gave their best and supported one another throughout the event.

A huge thank you to all the parents & families who came along to support and help make the afternoon such a success. Your encouragement and enthusiasm helped create a wonderful atmosphere for everyone involved.

Well done to all our children! ⭐️

Wheal Fox & Wheal Owles have recently enjoyed the classic story The Gingerbread Man & engaged in activities around the story. These activities enhance maths skills, creativity & a deeper understanding of the natural world. Activities like retelling the story & using props help children practice sequencing & recall, improving their vocabulary by engaging in extended conversations & comprehension skills.

The children have been reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Here we are enjoying some more book themed activities.

Bear sorting and sequencing activities help to build crucial cognitive skills like colour recognition, size comparison, and logical patterns. Tweezers for children are excellent tools used to build fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and a proper tripod pencil grip.
