Hi, Just a quick note to say that you are going to be greatly missed at the school after so many years committed service. You really were an asset to the school and I hope you have lots of good memories, I am sure the children that you taught have many happy stories to tell. We hope you will of course keep in touch and continue to send us lots of photos of Flo as you have both been part of School Life for so long. I do hope you are enjoying the lovely weather we are having at the moment and you can relax in your next seat.

Thank you on behalf of the School for the fantastic present that you left us it will be great in the Reception Area to show off what a brilliant and happy place, Veryan School is. Once again thanks for everything you have done at School and I wish you a long and happy retirement.
..........................................................................
Thanks Helen very kind of you - right now I'm still doing the websites so I can keep in touch.

I was proud to take these children to this competition and will look forward to taking them to the area finals, and i am positive that with a little more practise and please a lot more support at the finals that the children can win this competition. Thankyou to Nats Grandparents for supporting us on the day and helping with transport. SEE YOU AT THE AREA FINALS IN TRURO.

Hi everybody,

From William.J.Dean

I had the opportunity of taking our football team to Grampound Road tournament on the 20/10/06. The team performed really well putting in a good performance and there behaviour was excellent as usual. The team were placed in a league with Tregony,Grampound, Gorran and Summercourt. Veryan played Summercourt in the 1st match and they drew 0-0, they then played Grampound who they beat 1-0 with Will Dean scoring the winning goal. They then faced Gorran who they also managed to defeat 1-0 and Oliver Vincent scored the goal. In their last match of the league they played Tregony with who they drew 0-0. This placed them 2nd in the league tying with Summercourt, who they had to play in a extra match to decide who would go through to the semi-finals. Alas Veryan made an excellent effort but unfortunately loss the match 2-0 so knocking them out of the competition. In all Veryan played 5 matches and they were only defeated in one of there games. Tregony won the competition with Grampound Road finishing runners up. There were 20 matches and i had the pleasure to referee 15 of these (phew). I would like to thank the players Nat Warren,Michael Vokes,Benjamin Towsey,Isaac Spear,Nicholas & Jade Treneary.Oliver Vincent,Callum Innes and William Dean for the way in which they behaved during the matches, after all being substituted quite a few times(not a grumble or a moan in sight). well done. Thankyou to all the parents who helped with getting there children to the tournament and supporting them, and help during the matches and after with the players. THANKYOU ALL VERY MUCH.

Hi Emma you are not boring us.We are always interested to hear how our previous pupils are getting on. Hope you get to be a teacher......Bron

Hello Joshua (White),
Thank you for the postcard you sent us from your new home.
We have enjoyed looking at your new school's website.
It is indeed very quiet here without you!
We are glad to hear that you have made some new friends but are very jealous that you are so near to the beach.
Have a lovely summer,
Love from Miss Drage and 2D.

Exellent website. I was a pupil at Veryan between 1959-1965 and saw a few changes in that time. When I started, we had four classes ranging in age from 5 to 15. Then they built the 'big school' in Tregony and we were reduced to just two classes, one at either end of the school, the infants being taught by Miss Unsworth and the junior class by the then headmaster, Mr Gotch.
I noted Graham's comment about old photographs. I have got one or two - and might just scan them in.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
We'd love to see those photographs Reg. There are 3 classrooms in the school now and we are hoping to add on in the future. Thanks or taking the time to write, it's always good to hear from previous pupils. Bron Roberts

Hope you all enjoy your last few days before the summer holidays, and good luck with the play and leaver's service. I'm sure your play will be great like the others. and that the tissues will be required for Monday's leavers service.
///////////////////////
Thanks Julie -save a few tissues for the staff please!

Greetings to one and all! Congratulations on a great website!

I am an ex-student who attended Veryan Primary School between 1948 and 1953 and have just viewed your website from my home in the South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga, which is about as far on the other side of the world that you can get! I lived in Australia for many years, and have spent most of the past 20 years living either in Australia or here in my tropical island paradise in Tonga.

Veryan School does not look much changed since I was a student, although the curriculum is a lot different to what it used to be! I keep in touch with Veryan through a regular e-mail exchange with Frank Symons who runs the Charity Shop at Veryan Green. He remembers when my family lived in the thatched cottage just down from him, and the house between his shop and my old home was once my parents shop.

Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Diana .............................
Hi Diana -great to hear from you. We know Frank well, of course.........thanks for the mail Bron Roberts.......teacher.

Hi Guys,
lovely to enter your site and see all the exciting things you are doing. My family came from Veryan, dating back to Bernard who arrived in Veryan from St Ives in about 1690. My Great grandfather left Veryan to set up a building firm in Grampound. I was born in Cornwall but emigrated to Australia in 1962. I now have 6 Grandchildren , 2 in Sydney, 2 in Melbourne and 2 in Ararat a Victorian bush town.
I have visited your lovely village a number of times and it is beautiful, you would be very proud.
Good luck to you all.
Paul Tregunna

It is very informative and easy to navigate - even for a beginner like me!
I hope to see much more work in the future. Congratulations to you all.

Thanks for your comment Ann Glad you find this site informative...........BER

Thankyou to everyone who has commented recently. Thanks also to Bron for her often thankless task of keeping the site going and updated. Is there anything else that you might like to see included in the site? The summer term is up and running with so much coming up. Good luck to everyone in Years 2 and 6 for their forthcoming SATs.

Thank you for inviting me to share assembly with you this morning and talk about my job as vicar here in St Columb Major -- I had a lovely time and it was great seeing all of you again.

To everyone in Veryan School HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
Well we are coming up to 6 months in Austrailia and time is passing fast. The sun has been out and is due to be 35 degrees this Saturday. We are off to New Zealand on Saturday for 2 weeks in a camper van. Jack & Beth are really looking forward to it. We had our nativity play this week and it was funny to be very hot and for all the children to be looking forward to not only Christmas but their summer holidays.
Hope you have enjoyed all of your Christmas activities at the school and in the village. We have missed them. Its funny but in one way we have missed the cold and dark nights that lead up to Christmas.
Best wishes for a great New Year - Nicky Ian Jack & Beth

BYE

i like iit

Well I don't know!! I have to moderate the comments on this page before I publish them. Most nights/weeks there is nothing there then I leave it for a week and find loads of people have written. So sorry that I took this long to put the comments on the website.

Hi! I went to Veryan (90-96 - that sounds like ages ago!) and just found the website! Glad to see Steve and Mrs.Roberts are still going strong! :) I'm at plymouth uni now doing computing but still come to the area regularly to see family.

Also wanted to say that the front page needs a bit of tweeking- the top part is all the html code!! (no offence intended- just trying to be helpful!)

Sarah :)
Hi Sarah - nice to hear from you sorry about the HTML must be YOUR computer as it is fine here tee hee............

just wanted to congratulate the girls football team for all their hard work at goonhavern on wednesday afternoon. they played so well and it was a real pleasure to watch, even if it was freezing. they did the school proud. well done to them all.

Hi everyone
Luv the new graphics its great at Truro see u all around.

Well its been 3 months since we arrived and time is flying by. The sun is starting to shine most days and Jack & Beth have started using the pool. We have been out walking in the bush, Jack has been camping with the scouts, Beth has joined the cubs and is having a fantastic time. We will be in New Zealand for Christmas and the New Year. Christmas day we will be on the beach in the sun near the city that sees the sun first in the world each day. The web site really looks great and informative. Being so far from home its great to be able to see and read what is happening at Veryan. Hopefully Beths school will start e-mailing you when they return from their half term. Best wishes to everyone. Nicky Ian Jack & Beth

I think the website is wicked, i hope everyone enjoys it as much as i do.Its really cool to see dan vincent on there with the man of the match trophy.Good luck to all our footballers who are playing at Goonhavern on Wednesday i hope we all win and do Veryan proud.I hope the waether is gonna be allright for the Match.I've read nearly all the comments on the guest book and they are all nice comments.Just like to say Happy Birthday to Oliver Vincent For on Wednesday6th
of October and hope you have a nice day! SEE YOU SOON!!!!

I have just been browsing the internet, as I came across a company, relating to my work, in Hinton Blewitt, Somerset, whose head office is in Veryan House. I looked to find out more about it, as by another coincidence, I have a cousin living in Hinton Blewitt, which is a very small village ~ it is remarkable that there are two connections in one little village. Anyway ... I bwent on to look on your village website and found it to be very good, especially your school website. I work in education and have yet to see such a welcoming and informative site. As a result, I had to say 'hello' from Veryan ( female, by the way). I have visited your village when I was younger and also when I was a very young girl. I still have two plates bearing the name 'Veryan', which must be nearly antique by now!!! All the best to you all, especially the children, who must always be nurtured and valued. It is lovely to have a picture of your community through the website, as I have always felt close to you all, because of my name. By the way, I have no idea why my parents chose it ~ I grew up in Weymouth, though am now living in South Wales. My name does cause confusion, conversation, and some amusement, though very ocasionally, someone says 'that's a village in Cornwall, isn't it?'. Love to you all, Veryan

Welcome back to the new school year. The school looks like a new pin with redecoration, repairs and windows cleaned.
Congratulations to all those children who entered the Veryan Autumn Show.

As you can see from previous comments, the school is hoping to develop a section of the website displaying the exploits of past pupils. There have been so many successes big and small and people wishing to keep in touch that this would seem an excellent way to use this great site. If you or someone you went to school with has something of interest I know we would all like to celebrate this.

Having read the great news below about our past pupils we were wondering if anyone knows what has happened to other pupils. I am starting a new page for this specific reason. Doesn't matter what your age - if you are doing a course or a job that you would like to tell us about then write to the above e-mail address and we'll put it on the website. If you like we can post your email address too so people can contact you. If you want to send a current photo that would be great but keep it small - no bigger than 100kb max please.

What a lovely site!! Well done everyone! Veryan School is very much in my thoughts at the moment as I've just started my teacher training and out of my year of 28 students there are three ex-Veryan pupils! I'm training alongside Kristina Waitz & Clair Symons, it's lovely having familiar faces around and we must have enjoyed our time at Veryan as we will soon be primary teachers ourselves!!
..........Great news Georgina. We are all really pleased to hear this news.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to write in this guest book it is very much appreciated by me, the website manager. Please be aware that if you write your e-mail address it then becomes accessible to anyone who visits the website. You should also know that any comments are first read by me before they go on the website so it may take a few days before your comment appears. Thanks again Bron

I like your site. I am an Old Boy - - in fact, an evacuee aged 8 in 1940, along with about 45 others (our London headmistress was Miss Colbourn). I don't know when we arrived and I don't remember when I left. I believe you have a "Register" that might enlighten me. Can I view it when visiting late next month?
.........................Nice to hear from you Terry. Did you come to the reunion we had for evacuees a few years back? We'd love to see you and I expect you will be surprised by the changes in the school now .........gone is the old cornish range...
Bron Roberts
Best wishes.

Good Day Bruce. Your web site looks great from here in Australia. We have arrived safe, missing Veryan. Visiting loads of different places, wild life sanctuary, rain forest, mountains in the snow !!!!!!. Today we stopped at the side of the road to see 20+ Kangaroos at a billabong. Its a little different to Veryan. Will send you some pictures next time. Bron pls can you forward your e-mail address. Thanks Nicky Ian Jack & Beth ............
Great to hear from you guys 'down under' I hear it's pretty chilly there but no worries about missing our summer as it has been a terrible one! I see y have included your e-mail address here so maybe some of the children and parents might like to e-mail you -all the best Love Bron and all the staff and children at Veryan

it is 0345hrs and my collegues and I at Treliske hospital are checking out the website. I love the new graphics. I have also found out heaps more about what my son is doing at school!! class one and a parachute worried me at first until I saw the photos!!
No one would believe that Mr Philips was a teacher !! There are some eldery nurses here!!
looking forward to click on again soon

...........Hi Selena thanks for looking at the website and sending encouraging messages. BER

i like the veryan website and i am at roseland

My son discovered your site at school yesterday while researching his name. He was named Veryan so that he would always be aware of his Cornish heritage on his mother's side of the family. Veryan has visited his namesake town each time he has travelled to Cornwall from Canada and we have noticed the school in passing. Congratulations on a lively website ...I love the cottage themethrougout the site.
Thankyou for this lovely comment and what a great way to acknowledge your son's Cornish Heritage. We had a child in the school named Veryan a few years ago. Next time you come to Cornwall you must come to the school and see us.
B.E.R

this the first time i've looked at the website and i love Mrs.Roberts picture and the face paints especially the lion GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
..................
THANKS Leanne visit again soon BER

wow how good is this it is much much much better than the roseland schools website well done!!!!!!!!!!!! it is nice to put what you are doing and what is happing in the near future say hi to lauren piper for me bye for now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The website is great with all the pictures and things that the childen have done it is very interesting to see what is going on in the future say hi to everyone there but say a special hello to Lauren Piper

Great site - easy to navigate, colourful, friendly look and feel, good work all!
What I'd like to see is an archive documenting the physical changes of the buildings that have made up the school over the years; the improvements I've seen in my time alone are impressive, I think it'd make good reading.....................................
Thanks for the nice comments Julian and this is another good idea that we could definitely look into doing ........B.E.R.

Very nice web page. I wonder if it might be a good idea to show old school photographs, (if any still exist,) of past pupils, myself being one{Circa 1953 - 1960) Unfortunately I have mislaid my own and would love the chance to reminisce upon and recapture the days of my youth!!
...................................................Sounds like a great idea but I always have to obtain permission for photographs and that may be a bit difficult but I will look into it..........BER

Hello everyone,
Hope you have all had a good Chirstmas - I've had a great one. Mum's been looking for the music forms, needed for next term, are they on the web??
See you all soon....................................................................................................................HI Oliver - sorry they are not but I will get one from MAry and put it on directly -good idea thanks Oliver ... Bron

What did you use to make this website (frontpage, raw HTML etc)?......................................................................................
HI Nathan I used a template that is provided by ik.com they provide the site and templates free for schools. Our school technician Stephan is now teaching me how to use Netobjects fusion which is very good too. Bron

If you have any ideas about what you might like to see on the website please let me know by writing to me or leaving a comment here

I think your web sit is great.
.........................................
Thankyou very much for writing Sammie -Bron

We had fun looking at your website have a merry christmas
................................Glad you enjoyed it - Bron

Its going to be a busy half term with Music and Dance to be encorporated but I am sure the children will enjoy this creative term and provide us a great Christmas Show. I know the children are enjoying the swimming and its great to see them all have such fun, its just a shame we can only go for 6 weeks. Well Done to all the staff at the school in ensuring we've had a smooth transition period whilst the changes have taken place. Also congratulations to the football team that played at Goonhavern on Saturday, you made me very proud to be part of Veryan School - I look forward to watching you on the finals day.

Great site and like the graphics too and I can see all the hours of hard work you are putting in to make it such a useful resource.

Nice to know you are popping in to the website now and then Faith. Perhaps you could write and tell us how the new job is going........

Hi everyone -- still love to read all the news and look at all the pictures. Hope you all have a great half term holiday. lots of love Faith

Well done Bron its great to see the science/D.T.work that was completed in the classroom today on the web site this evening.

finally managed to find time to get online. Wow what a fab and informative website. We have had such fun looking at everything and seeing what goes on in the school as we get limited info from Samuel!!
Have already informed friends and family to check it out so they can also see what an excellent school veryan is.

SO GLAD THAT YOU FINALLY MANAGED TO GET ON LINE. I MUST HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE SITE WHEN YOU COULDN'T GET ON. B.E.R.

HIYA
I'VE JUST STARTED MY NEW SCHOOL, THE ROSELAND AND ITS WAY BIGGER THAN VERYAN IT WAS SCARY AT FIRST BUT NOW I'VE KIND OF GOT USED TO . I AM IN MISS ARNOLDS TUTOR GROUP AND AM ENJOYING OUR DIFFERENT CLASSES. THERE ARE A 119 PUPILS IN YEAR 7 A BIT MORE THAN VERYAN. I LOVE NEW BANNER, WHO DID IT?

GOOD LUCK. I WILL BE COMING ON AGAIN SOON
BYE
Hi Christine thanks for the mail - glad you are settling in at the Roseland School. How's your arm?

Congratulations on a wonderful show. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The singing sounded really professional. A lot of hard work had obviously gone into the show and the result was brilliant. Well done everybody.

I would just like to say good-bye to Veryan.It has been 11 years since Alice went to the school ,followed by Jack and Lally and now Freya has left and my asscociation with the school has finished.I feel a little sad at this,so I would just like to say thank you to the school for all that it has done for my Children over the past 11 years.
Good luck with the new head teacher and the class 3 teacher.Mrs Surrige and Mr Gould are certainly a hard act to follow!!

Penny

We had a cricket match on the 10th of july, schools parents against Veryan 2nd's.
We batted first and made 106 and believe it or not Veryan 2nd's made 106 as well.
[shame about those two dropped catches Mr Gould]. I hope everyone had a lovely night, a big thankyou to the sports club for letting us use there facilities and gear.
Thankyou to everyone for playing[Steve is still getting over it] and anyone who helped in anyway. We held a raffle and helped to raise some funds towards the school roughly around £50 well done everyone. We'll have them next year lads.
The website is great keep up the good work.

I've just realized that in the gallery, when you click the web site banner link the picture doesn't show.
......................................
Well spotted Nathan - it took me a while to work out exactly what you meant - I think the Banner in question is being used at the top of each page and so perhaps that has caused a conflict -anyway I have removed the offending item. Sorry there are no prizes for finding mistakes just a :) from Bron

Thank you for looking at the site Penny -- we're very proud of it and of all the work that Bron puts in to keep it just right -- and thank you for the great report--hope the Board of Education members will come and visit too!!

You certainly deserve your Golden Owl award. It will give me great delight, when I am asked at the next Diocesan Board of Education meeting if I would like to comment on my denominational inspection report, to be able to tell them all - go and see for yourselves!! Which reminds me, I really need to complete the report rather than enjoy this site ... God bless, and love, Penny

Hi,

I like the look of the new front page - great banner ! It is really good to be able to see all the childrens work through the website and it is amazing how much it changes everytime I come and look through.

Nice to see other comments complimenting our wonderful website, congratulations Bron.

Wow lots of nice comments about the website - thankyou very much it's a real incentive for me to keep the pages fresh. Sorry that I have been a bit slow putting these latest comments in but I have to moderate the guest book.

It is lovely to visit a school web site where the school has obviously gone to a great deal of trouble to create a comprehensive, informative and attractive site. The school looks to be a very happy community, it must be a pleasure to be a part of it.

Hello to Veryan School
I was pleased to be able to browse your website. I am in the process of setting up our website using schools.ik.com. It was really valuable to see yours.

Regards. Denise

I'm just visiting. What a lovely website! It's so vibrant, with lots of excellent work, some very interesting information and good photographs. I particularly liked the photo of the finished Sukkah. You must have had great fun building and using that. The guestbook is a great idea, too. Thank you!

What a fantastic web site Bron. I have just enjoyed finding out so much about everyone at Veryan School. Thank you to Faith for letting me visit at such short notice yesterday. It was very impressive looking around such a lovely School where everyone made me feel welcome.

Thankyou for the website. It is fun to look at our school work.
Well done everyone.

hiya jst checked da site out its wicked hope u hav fun in da future and dont 4get me plz every1 in da school. cya soon bye

Hope you all had a great Easter holiday--welcome to Shelby who has come to join us here in Veryan.
Great news for us today as we heard we had won the Royal Institute of architects competition (RIBA) based around the theme of "shelter"

Thanks for your comment Penny the dances were very impressive. Sorry if your comment took a while to appear but I have been on holiday. Before any messages go onto the website I have to check them. If I check every night there's nothing in the guestbook but if I miss a few nights then there's always one there.

Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the concert last night. It was wonderful to see so many children taking part and really enjoying themselves. It was especially good to see the class dances,which I thought were brilliant.
Congratulations to all of you

Just a reminder that the comments that go in the guest book are first sent to me as a security measure so don't be disappointed if your comment does not appear immediately. You can be sure if I check the website everynight nothing will appear for ages and if I leave it for a night two people will write. Typical! Thanks for writing and please keep doing so. B.E.R.

We havejust found this fantastic web site and wanted to say how informative it is. Both of the children have settled in very well and are enjoying school life in Veryan. We just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to be connected with a village school in which both children and parents our made to feel so welcome. The pictures of the activites really look great. Keep up this high standard of work.

We are moving to your area and have been looking through the school web sites. The web site has been really inspiring- your school looks like a very exciting place to learn. Our current school is really great and we are sad to be leaving (Herefordshire). Keep having fun - we love the activities on your web-site!

Thank you very much for these nice comments - I am sorry that you are leaving the school you like so much but I am sure you will find another lovely school soon.

To Veryan school,
I was looking at your web-site when i saw that in the football section in "activetes" you have put a M in and.
yours sincerly
James T from Bentley Heath school.
...........Why thanks James Thomas I'll sort that out now.B.E.R.

I have just put a new site on the links page where children and adults can find out scientific information with interactive animations. There is some interesting information on how the space shuttle works there. Other information can be found on topics such as Earth Science - Life Science - Physical Science - Engineering and Space. I have not had a chance to really look at everything there so I would be pleased if people searched the site and gave me some feedback on it.

Well Done to our Football Team on Monday Night. I understand both teams won, which was a brilliant result but even better I heard that you all played really well and you played as a team.

So CONGRATULATIONS and Keep up the Practising. - Well Done Chris aswell.

Well despite the snow we made it back to school yesterday--so here's wishing you all a really good 2003 and welcome to Jonathan, Jenna, Beth and Jack who've joined us this term--I hope you all will have a great time at Veryan.

Faith

hi
I think the website is great, an I am glad to see some of my 'exelent' work in it.
I hope the website carries on and does well seems i am now in the yr 6 commitee
and are soon to leave for Roseland. I have been on the website a few times now

feeling. WELL DONE TAMSIN!
well done to everyone who put something into the website,and i hope everyone enjoys the school christmas fair if they go.

Thank you for all the comments about the web site. We all really enjoyed singing in the cathedral and now we've started practicing for Christmas. Hope to see lots of you on December 18th at 7pm in the church.

Hiya
Just been on it, what a brill idea, how did you get that idea bron and mary.
Wish i was there still. Any way good luck in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------
We miss you Katy - nice to see you at Arcadia BER

This is the 1st time we have been able to find the site. It's really good. Lots of information and photos.Who would have thought that so much went on at school!
Congratulations to the choir that sang in the Cathederal on Friday. Small school.. big voices. The song was brilliant(nice one Bron) and they just sang it so well.Their behaviour was also exceptional.Well done to all of you who took part.
Penny

Since I left so much has happened to the school. In year 6 I remember making a page for the website, but this site is much better than the old one. Iwould like to say well done to everyone who ran in the cross-country and well done to Mr Gould for getting a team together. I think that if there was a contest for who had the loudest supporters, Veryan would win!
love lally(freyas sister)

I think the website is brilliant.

hiya all
i heard about this site and just had to come and have a look for my self!!
it is really good and you should be really proud with it
see you all soon
Chris
Thanks Chris - always nice to hear from x - pupils BER

It is nice to be in Veryan School these few months. I have enjoyed designing for the Banner competition.

Well done William BER

Hi bron.I think the website is cool.
The pictures are groovy.
Well done Ben

I am showing Class 1 how to write in the guest book. I wonder if any of them will write something here in the next few days

I think that the site is brilliant!We hope it stays the best for many years
to come.We are glad we are on it to!

Some old pupils. We must be popular but talking about scary, have you looked at your old school photos lately.
Nice to hear from you. Keep spreading the news.

Hiya! Thought I'd take a bit of time to reminisce! Looks great - certainly moved on a lot since I left in 98! Keep up the good work (maybe some more flattering photos of the teachers or you'll scare every1 away!) lol! xxx

i also think the website is great.

Great news!! --Bron has won for school a Golden Owl site of distinction award from the company who backs our website ik.com. Among the prizes are a DVD player and a digital camera. I shall be collecting the award in Gloucestershire with her in November. Tell you all about it when we come back.

As grandparents who are a long way away in Norfolk, it is nice to be able to get an idea of how the children are getting on. Can you please keep the funny painted faces on as they look less scary than when they are washed off.

Heard about the award. Nicely

Adam
Thank you for your brilliant report about the Fun Run and congratulations to the team. We'll look out for the West Briton!
Any chance of a Team picture on the web site?

Thank you and very well done to you all for entering such lovely work into the show held last Saturday. The judge was very impressed at the high standard of your work,the variety and individuality.
A special well done to the cup winners - Laura and Sam.
We hope you enjoyed entering and will enter again next year.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write in the guestbook and to all the people who have contributed photographs and reports to the website.

This website is growing and growing and growing. Brilliant Bron, well done. This really makes great reading to look at all the different areas . I am very encouraged to see all the lovely comments that the parents and even the pupils have added.

I would just like to say well done to all the children who entered things into the 'Autumn Show' and congratulations to everyone who won. I would also like to say a big WELL DONE to the runners that ran on Sunday - you all did extremely well and were a credit to the school. Well Done Chris on all the training!

I am looking forward to going on the Class 2 residential on Thursday and Friday and hope we can share with you some photos of the experience.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Annual Parents Evening (Wed 25th Sept) where we can discuss any issues that you have.

Bye.

Thanks for all your comments in the guestbook. Congratulations today to Ben Hannah, Bronnen, William, Leanne, Danny, Jacob, Tressa, James and Laura on being elected to the School Council today. We shall be giving out their Council badges at parent assembly on Friday morning so hope to see you there!

the website is great nice to see my work.i like the work the little ones did.i hope
everyone enjoys the site as much as i do.

Thank you Auntie V. I am so pleased that grandparents are finding the site interesting. We hope that the web site will be a window on some of the activities going on in school

What a lovely site! The Grand Parents thoroughly enjoyed having a look at all the interesting work being done.

the website is really good. we are always looking at the pictures. we are looking forward to next years activities and news.

Thank you for all your comments about the website. I loved looking at the pictures of the trip to Quasers--looks as though you all had a great time!!
Thank you Y6 for all you have done for our school this year --we all wish you the very best for your next step.
I hope everyone has a great holiday with lots of sunshine.
See you in Spetember!!

Very impressive. The news page with all the new additions of the year 6 outing to quasers. I wish them all a happy time at the Roseland.

Bigger and better every day!
It's on my 'favourites' list so I can keep up to date!
Have a Happy Holiday everybody - especially the Web Master!

Real good website well done to all. Pictures are so good.

I like the web site. Have a good Summer holiday everyone.

Thankyou everyone for your nice comments about the web site. I thought you should know that when you put your e-mail address in the box, when writing a comment in the guest book, that it becomes available to anyone who wishes to write back to you. I have taken them out so far because I was not sure whether people were aware of this but from now on I will presume that if you put your e-mail address in that box then you don't mind other readers writing back to you. It is a nice way of getting to know more people on the net who are connected with the school. If you see a name underlined and click on that name you can write directly to them as I have demonstrated with my name.

A great way to keep in touch as I will be joining the Roseland community School in september. Good luck and keep up the great work!

Very impressed with the website, even I can find my way around it. Lovely to see the children and their work, and what super speed to already have photos of yesterday's school concert. Congratulations to everyone who took part, really enjoyable, and the singing, as always super - makes your skin tingle!!!

I think the site is great everyone connected with it's production should be very proud. On the subject of showing childrens photographs i feel the children would be thrilled for friends and family to be able to see them on the web and i think it would be wonderful too.

it was cool

i think the facepaints are verey good.SCARY Skeleton!

Well done. What a fantastic web site. Very user friendly and well laid out. My son's grandparents will be delighted they can now just 'pop' into his school anytime.

I have some more photographs of Class 1 children with their faces painted. If you want your child on the news page just see me and I'll put their photo on if I have one.

HAZAAAA! I found it! nice site, clearly laid-out and colourful. well done! :)

WHY THANK YOU ROSS -Nice to hear from pupils who have now moved on BER

Oh - Congratulations!!!

After a quick run through by the designer, I am impressed. The site is easy to navigate and gives a clear idea of Veryan School and its community.
I like the curriculum section - maybe adding in some idea of Nat. Curr. levels on the samples of work would give even more information to help parents gain a good understanding of the work of the school.
