Hello and welcome to the page for Godrevy Class and the class team: Mrs Gilroy, Mr Gardiner and Mrs Jones. We also have Mrs Quick, Mrs Skeggs and Mrs Greef supporting our learning.

 We believe the best way to learn is through doing and our planning is focused on exciting practical activities with plenty of opportunities to learn outside the classroom. 

 Summer Term 

This summer Godrevy class are putting on their yellow hard hats and following in the footsteps of Cornish miners, to discover Cornwall’s incredible mining heritage.

Walking along the peaceful coast path of Cornwall today, it’s hard to imagine the smoke and din that once filled the air. The hammering and blasting of industry used to echo across the rugged landscape. But some clues remain and we are going to go on an adventure to uncover how mining has shaped the Cornwall we know today.

Starting with sifting for minerals in the red river we will think about how mining evolved as we dig our own mini mine shafts in the sand at Godrevy beach! We will learn how miners were creative thinkers and inventors linking to our science learning on how sound travels. 

We know the best way to learn about mining is to see a site up close and have planned two different trips to two different mines. We will also be meeting miners, past and present, and asking them questions to find out how mining has changed. We will learn about mining disasters, discoveries and listen to mining chants to build a picture of Cornwall's incredible mining heritage. 

At Gwinear we pride ourselves in our commitment to learning outdoors, both in our own extensive and beautiful school grounds or in any of our outdoor learning spaces; Crenver Grove, Godrevy Beach or Gwithian Nature Reserve.
