Help needed – The school has been given some fence panelling to secure an area of the school. We could do with someone who has a flatbed trailer or a vehicle that could transport these 6ft panels from Venton Road. Please let the office know if you can help.

We would like to invite you to come and view the plans and to give us some feedback on the aspects you do or do not like; please feel free to pop in and have a look when you have a couple of minutes spare. Similarly we are hoping to collect names of parents who may be able to help with getting going on our first project; there is a sign-up sheet on the display. Thank you. Staff and children will also be discussing the plans over the next few weeks, and all comments will help inform the creation of the final master plan. Thank you for all your support with this and we look forward to looking at all the responses. Have a wonderful half term and we look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday 20 th February.

We are suggesting to give proceeds to go towards creating and furnishing a fabulous new library space for the children. But, we need YOUR help. We would love parents or carers to join together in class groups, and come up with ideas for stalls, and then run them. We can help you with a float, but we ask that you kindly take responsibility for your stall from start to finish. Ideas include snail racing, soak the parent, guess how many...etc. etc! We hope it will be a fun time for everyone. Please email [email protected]with your ideas. A big thank you in advance. Attendance changes Today we are sending home a letter to all parents informing you of slight changes to attendance measures and procedures. Please take the time to read the letter – we have provided information as to how we are continuing to support parents with attendance.

Truro High School Bake Off Last year more than a dozen local primary schools took part in The Great Truro High School Bake Off. This year will be open to girls and boys from Years 5 and 6 and we would love your child to be a part of it. Round one will take place here at King Charles with competitors invited to bring in half a dozen shaped and flavoured bread rolls that they have made themselves at home, for judging by our panel on Monday 6th March.

The last round will be our Grand Final at Truro High School in late May, after the SATs week, when our panel of young chefs will take part in a technical bake placing all competitors on a level playing field. In 2016 they were asked to produce a Victoria Sponge cake, each using exactly the same ingredients. The winning school will be invited to bring the whole class to Truro High for a Food Experience Cookery Workshop. The successful chef will also receive a fantastic money-can’t-buy prize from Baker Tom himself. All those taking part will receive a certificate and we very much hope you
will join us in encouraging a new generation of young chefs and bakers to
