Where will your reading take you? 🧠📚💛

Students are showing their skills and spirit in the Virtual School Games! Competing, collaborating, and having fun!

Class 2 really enjoyed taking part in the #waveacademy virtual school games this week. Children really challenged themselves to try new sports skills, beat or set a personal best, and work together as a team. Here's hoping for a good result for #caradonwaveapa #virtualschoolgames

Work is well underway for something exciting happening here at Restormel. Pupils are loving watching the daily changes and seeing a space being transformed for them. Thanks to Claire, our Estates Manager, for the talk today. Stay tuned for updates. Can you guess what it is yet?

🏰 Larch Class today went to Berry Pomeroy - both to the church and the castle - to find connections to the Tudors, specifically the Seymour family, and to the Reformation. They were especially impressed in the church by the very old Bible, the Seymour family tomb and the Reformation graffiti. 🏰

Our staff wellbeing Fairy (otherwise known as Heather), has created this for staff to show their gratitude and kindness towards one another. They simply write and post a small personalised message to their colleague. Really looking forward to seeing the smiles this creates across our team 😄💕
