Fun at Funfest
On Friday the 3rd March Rhys, Clara, Jack and Jasmine visited The Roseland to attend a Funfest Festival.
We took part in lots of different games like, “Catch Me If You Can” , ”Hula Hula”, “Jolly Volleyball”, “Fun
Shutters”, “Dan Devil Dribble” and “Battimull Alley”
It was really good fun and Clara’s favourite was “Fun Shutters”

KS2 News
Life in KS2 has been extremely busy. Year 6 have been sharing resistant material lessons with Tregony Year 6, pupils at
FunFest, World Book Day and an afternoon of Dance.
The most amazing of all though a surprise visit from Samuel Pepys and Christopher Wren. We learnt
so much about life in 17th Century London and we were all inspired to write some amazing poems,
stories and diary entries. We are now learning about the growth of
London and how unhygienic it was! We loved the disgusting facts
about the plague!
