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

Class 2 have been testing sunglasses this week, to see which offer the best protection from harmful UV rays.
We measured the amount of light able to penetrate each pair of glasses, using a strong torch to simulate the sun, and a luxmeter to measure the level of light getting through.

Both KS3 and KS4 had fun creating their own hovercrafts using materials such as paper plates and balloons when they had a visit from Big Bang at Schools. The sessions were insightful and offered students a way of gaining information on the array of different careers in STEM.

KS3 students enjoyed a visit from Spaceport Cornwall, where they got creative and inspired to make their own rockets. Spaceport is local to us, but focuses on a worldwide mission of creating technology that will enable massive insights into the ever rising problem of climate change.

Key Stage 3 pupils from Caradon enjoyed a careers tour with Cormac, exploring infrastructure work in Threemilestown. Highlights included a drone demo, site tour from A30 to RCH, and a stadium visit—home to Truro City FC, now in the National League. Come on you Tinners!

The Primary pupils at Caradon Academy were luck enough to receive a lovely outside area to create their own outdoor library in. We all worked together as a team to transform this space into a lovely place to relax and share a book on those sunnier days, all of us are really proud of our work! 📚

Last term, the Primary pupils were amazed at being able to watch the metamorphic process of our 30 tadpoles and think about living things and processes. We were super excited to come back to school last week and find lots of baby froglets who have now gone to their new home 🐸.
