  • DT at Port Isaac Academy Our pupils in KS2 have been busy in DT exploring seasonal fruit and vegetables learning where they come from around the world and why seasonality matters. They've been developing their food preparation skills too, including cutting, chopping, peeling and grating, along with enjoying some exciting tasting sessions! All of their hard work led to creating a delicious seasonal savoury tart which will be taken home to cook - and taste. We cannot wait to hear about the final results! Fantastic effort everyone!

  • This afternoon, Seals Class enjoyed a wonderful beach school session at Port Gaverne in the beautiful sunshine. We began by sharing the story Tiddler, which the children really enjoyed. The children then took part in a variety of engaging activities. They searched the beach to identify different types of seaweed, created a shell number line to support their maths learning, and used natural materials to produce some lovely artwork. It was a fantastic afternoon of exploration, creativity, and outdoor learning. #lovelearning #Learningbythesea #portisaac
