This week, Eco Warriors took part in a bug hunt, looking high and low to find what we shared our environment with before classifying them. We discovered the insects we found have an exoskeleton, a three part body and three pairs of jointed legs! #orucurriculumIGNITES pic.twitter.com/9JuvdBGuys— St Matthew's Derriford (@StMattsAcademy) May 15, 2024

The first four weeks have been amazing. We have developed into loud, self-assured leaders who serve as excellent role models for our younger children, having started out as a little quiet and shy. Fantastic work, leaders! #FuturePETeachers #LetYourLightShine #OurCurriculumIgnites pic.twitter.com/2ui9bqesHi— St Matthew's Derriford (@StMattsAcademy) May 9, 2024

Last week, our year 3 and 4 boys football team participated in the Plymouth Argyle Community Trust Kids Cup at Marjons. Despite the horrible weather, both teams performed remarkably well. Our blue team placed second, and our red team placed fifth. Fantastic work. #TeamSTMatts pic.twitter.com/i1otNwWcVH— St Matthew's Derriford (@StMattsAcademy) May 9, 2024

Our year 1 and 2 football team participated in a tournament at SDCC last week. We spent the whole morning enjoying the sunshine. We definitely dominated both attacking and defending by using our passing, shooting, and communication skills. Great job #TeamSTMatts. pic.twitter.com/wCkuVwz0dQ— St Matthew's Derriford (@StMattsAcademy) May 9, 2024

Our Reception children have been inspired to learn about oral health after reading the story ‘The Selfish Crocodile’. We have been practicing how to brush our teeth effectively and loved engaging in our crocodile themed provision. #LetYourLightShine #OurCurriculumIgnites pic.twitter.com/KH6b3STyXl— St Matthew's Derriford (@StMattsAcademy) May 8, 2024
