What a day. A massive well done to the SIJS Scorpions at the Cornwall Regional Finals at RN Culdrose. The team represented the school with all of the Lego League Core Values of discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion and team work. Above all, they had so much FUN!

Thank you to the children for all of their hard work over the past 3 months preparing for today. George, the competition organiser praised the team for getting on so well on the day. In fact, he said we had narrowly missed out on a trophy!

A big thank you to Ms Dunne who came to support and cheer us on today.

We are looking forward to entering the lego league next season and building on the success of the team, many of whom have a bright future in STEM!

In2Hockey County Tournament Report

Last Friday, seven boys represented SIJS at the In2Hockey County Tournament in a busy one-day event, playing six games throughout the day. The team performed brilliantly, winning three games and narrowly losing three, finishing a very respectable 4th place in the county.

The boys showed excellent hockey skills, great team spirit, and real determination in every match. Their performances did not go unnoticed, with county coaches recognising the boys’ gameplay and individual skills.

A big thank you to all the parents who came along to support the team during the day – your encouragement from the sidelines meant a lot to the boys.

Finally, a special thank you to Mr Gurr for driving the minibus and helping make the trip possible.

Well done to all the boys for representing SIJS so brilliantly.

Year 3 and 4 have had the most wonderful geography filled day. We set off shortly after 9am and followed the route towards Knill Monument where we stopped for a very blustery snack. We carried on down the path behind the monument and on to Laity Lane where we found the source of the river. We then followed the course of the river to Carninney lane and then down through Carbis Bay where it widened and became deeper and faster. We eventually arrived at thr river mouth on Carbis Bay Beach. We enjoyed lunch and a play there before heading to the train station for the journey back to St Ives. This was a long walk for little legs, but the children showed heaps of resilience and had lots of fun. What a fantastic adventure and a memorable learning experience!
