:00:15. > :00:18.Modern`day slavery, tonight, dramatic accounts from victims who
:00:19. > :00:23.feared for their lives. Good evening, welcome to Spotlight.
:00:24. > :00:27.New measures to tackle slavery aannounced in the Queen's Speech. We
:00:28. > :00:32.will hear from some of those who have suffered. I was scared for
:00:33. > :00:36.myself, scared for my partner, scared for my children. I know what
:00:37. > :00:41.they're Were they like. Stolen to order? More than 100 pregnant sheep
:00:42. > :00:45.were take anyone what's described as a sophisticated operation. Weeks of
:00:46. > :00:49.preparation and one eye on the weather warning, we're live ahead of
:00:50. > :00:52.Cornwall's biggest agricultural show.
:00:53. > :00:57.And could this be the best school in the UK? Pupils are certainly feeling
:00:58. > :01:02.confident. The teachers always help you if
:01:03. > :01:11.you're stuck. Everything else is just perfect.
:01:12. > :01:15.Victims of modern day slavery in the region are warning it's a widespread
:01:16. > :01:19.problem locally. 4,000 people are estimated to have suffered labour
:01:20. > :01:22.exploitation in the UK. Government figures show police in the wider
:01:23. > :01:27.south`west dealt with at least 20 cases of slavery between January and
:01:28. > :01:29.March this year. Today in the Queen's Speech, the Government
:01:30. > :01:36.announced plans to tackle this form of abuse.
:01:37. > :01:40.More than a decade ago, this now recovering alcoholic was offered a
:01:41. > :01:45.job when he was drinking in a park. The men said he would earn ?40 a
:01:46. > :01:48.day, working as a labourer and gave him accommodation in their trailers.
:01:49. > :01:54.Buff he says the reality was very different. His words are voiced by
:01:55. > :01:57.an actor to protect his identity. At the start, it was pretty good. I was
:01:58. > :02:02.getting plied with lots of drink. But after a few weeks, there was
:02:03. > :02:07.less and sometimes no food. I could be working from 8am through to 10pm,
:02:08. > :02:12.sometimes. We weren't given any hard cash to support ourselves. For 12
:02:13. > :02:18.years he worked tarmacking and block paving driveways without pay. Why
:02:19. > :02:21.didn't you just leave? I was threatened with having my legs
:02:22. > :02:24.broken if I tried to run away. I received beatings and witnessed
:02:25. > :02:29.people being beaten in order to keep them under control. Eventually the
:02:30. > :02:33.gang involved in this crime was brought to justice by the police.
:02:34. > :02:39.While this may seem like a clear example of forced labour, modern`day
:02:40. > :02:43.slavery can come in many forms. Marcus ended up selling drugs for
:02:44. > :02:46.years to pay off a never`ending debt to a gang he accepted free drugs
:02:47. > :02:52.from when he was grieving for his mother. They look for weak and
:02:53. > :02:55.vulnerable people, so they can manipulate them and get them into
:02:56. > :02:59.debt. Once you're in debt, that is it. They have got you. It's a
:03:00. > :03:03.struggle to get out of it. Why didn't you go to the police? Because
:03:04. > :03:09.they would hurt my family. I was scared. Today's Queen's Speech
:03:10. > :03:14.included a modern slavery bill. The new measures will mean victims could
:03:15. > :03:19.be paid compensation and increased prison sentences for the criminals
:03:20. > :03:23.involved. The charity Unchosen uses film to raise awareness of the
:03:24. > :03:29.problem. Their chief executive welcomes the bill, but... Unless we
:03:30. > :03:33.support and give the right accommodation and counselling and
:03:34. > :03:36.rehabilitative support services for victims, we are unable to then
:03:37. > :03:41.prosecute traffickers. There is quite a lot missing in the draft
:03:42. > :03:45.bill. Today the Government announced funding for specialist child
:03:46. > :03:53.advocates to help younger victims. Ministers say it's part of a wider
:03:54. > :03:56.programme to improve support. Our political editor, Martyn Oates,
:03:57. > :04:01.has been following the Queen's Speech. I asked what changes the new
:04:02. > :04:06.slavery bill would make? If it makes it onto the statute books, it's
:04:07. > :04:10.likely we will see people convicted of enslaving other people, serving a
:04:11. > :04:16.maximum sentence of life, as opposed to 14 years, at the moment. It seems
:04:17. > :04:20.that victims of slavery will be entitled to compensation and also,
:04:21. > :04:24.immunity from prosecution if they're forced to commit criminal acts while
:04:25. > :04:29.enslaved. This is because very often people get forced into prostitution
:04:30. > :04:36.or working on cannabis farms. One of the campaigners on this is the
:04:37. > :04:42.former to the necessary MP. He points `` Totness MP. It's crucial,
:04:43. > :04:44.he says, this is victim focussed, particularly because you need them
:04:45. > :04:49.to testify in the courts. Elsewhere in the speech, an announcement that
:04:50. > :04:52.will have particular resonance in one south`west town, the idea of
:04:53. > :04:57.introducing charges for plastic bags. Yes, if that goes through,
:04:58. > :05:03.from October a charge of 5 p per carrier bag, not just to have the
:05:04. > :05:07.place looking tidy with less litter, but they create havoc with marine
:05:08. > :05:15.wildlife. People from the Lib Dems to the Daily Mail claiming credit
:05:16. > :05:20.for this. As you say, there'll be particular pleasure in the Devon
:05:21. > :05:25.dawn who went plastic bag free. All the shop keepers decided not to
:05:26. > :05:29.issue them. In the summer, the European Union proposed strict
:05:30. > :05:35.targets for reducing plastic bag use. Now the Government is getting
:05:36. > :05:39.in on the act as well. People just re`use them all the time. It's not
:05:40. > :05:44.really a problem. People come in with a handbag and they've usually
:05:45. > :05:48.got one or two shopping bags folded up inside. So it's not really a
:05:49. > :05:54.problem at all. It hasn't caused any problems. Also changes to national
:05:55. > :05:58.parks in the pipeline. Yes. There are proposals to make the people who
:05:59. > :06:00.sit on them elected. Of course, they're very much like local
:06:01. > :06:04.authorities, in particular, they have the power to grant or re`fuse
:06:05. > :06:08.planning permission. Currently the people who make those very important
:06:09. > :06:12.decisions are all appointed, either from the local councils or the Thank
:06:13. > :06:19.you Government. . Thank you. An experienced detective
:06:20. > :06:23.sergeant with Devon and Cornwall Police has been dismissed for gross
:06:24. > :06:26.misconduct. Our home affairs correspondent joins me now from
:06:27. > :06:31.police headquarters. What more can you tell us about this case? There
:06:32. > :06:36.were two reasons for his dismissal. The first was a data protection
:06:37. > :06:38.issue. He had accessed the police Police National Computer to car
:06:39. > :06:44.require out unauthorised checks on people. The second was about police
:06:45. > :06:47.vehicles. He used them for his own personal interests and What does
:06:48. > :06:53.business. The force have to say about this? They've not done any
:06:54. > :06:58.interviews on this. They have given us a statement. It confirms that a
:06:59. > :07:01.serving sergeant has been dismissed with immediate effect. It adds that
:07:02. > :07:11.it follows a thorough investigation. The statement goes on to say that
:07:12. > :07:15.Devon and Cornwall Police expect the highest standards from officers and
:07:16. > :07:21.staff. And this officer's behaviour was so low it warranted immediate
:07:22. > :07:25.dismissal. Does this mark a dubbing line in dealing `` toughening line
:07:26. > :07:30.with dealing with police misconduct? This is a detailed statement. Take
:07:31. > :07:35.two things from that, first of all, clear concern and annoyance within
:07:36. > :07:39.Devon and Cornwall Police about what this officer has done and the
:07:40. > :07:42.potential for damaging the force's reputation and secondly, a clear and
:07:43. > :07:48.straightforward determination to send out a message: This will not be
:07:49. > :07:52.tolerated. Thank you. 24 youth centres are at risk in
:07:53. > :07:57.Devon, according to new plans for the service announced today. The
:07:58. > :08:02.County Council had proposed closing 32 centres to save 1. ?1.7 million.
:08:03. > :08:06.Following consultation, the authorities says it will look at
:08:07. > :08:11.providing eight locals hubs across the county. That means around 50
:08:12. > :08:19.posts will go. The remaining youth clubs will have to be taken on by
:08:20. > :08:22.local communities. There is a pot of ?300,000 to take the services on in
:08:23. > :08:26.their area. We want them to work with the most vulnerable in those
:08:27. > :08:31.areas, but to be open access in those towns and also, work with the
:08:32. > :08:35.wider community youth provision. We've had tremendous response to the
:08:36. > :08:38.consultation. Over 100 expressions of interest that want to actually
:08:39. > :08:41.deliver from youth provision in their areas. It's very much up to
:08:42. > :08:45.our youth hubs to work with that interest. Now farmers from across
:08:46. > :08:50.the region are preparing for one of the main agricultural shows of the
:08:51. > :08:53.year, The Royal Cornwall Show gets under way tomorrow. Final
:08:54. > :08:56.preparations have been taking place at the site this afternoon with
:08:57. > :09:00.animals receiving a last`minute wash and brush up. Hundreds of traders
:09:01. > :09:03.have been putting finishing touches to their stands. Thousands of
:09:04. > :09:07.visitors are expected over the next three days.
:09:08. > :09:11.One thing they'll all be hoping for is fine weather and no repeat of the
:09:12. > :09:15.scenes at the Devon county show, where rain and mud forced the
:09:16. > :09:18.organisers to cancel the final day. Joining me now is Chris Riddle, the
:09:19. > :09:23.secretary of the royal Cornwall show. Grey skies behind you, Chris.
:09:24. > :09:28.What preparations do you have in place should the weather take a turn
:09:29. > :09:33.for the worse? Well, we're starting off from a much better position than
:09:34. > :09:35.sadly, they were at Devon. There's a good draining site. We've had
:09:36. > :09:39.blustery showers today. Up until that point it was quite dry. Nothing
:09:40. > :09:43.really worrying us. Good forecast tonight and tomorrow. It should be a
:09:44. > :09:46.great start to the show. In my time of visiting the show, I remember one
:09:47. > :09:49.occasion where the Saturday was cancelled because of the weather.
:09:50. > :09:55.Are you confident that's not going to happen this year? I think it's
:09:56. > :10:02.highly unlikely. That was 21 years ago that happened. Thank you for
:10:03. > :10:06.reminding me! No, we have got lots of plans in place, if things get a
:10:07. > :10:15.bit sticky here or there. We don't see it as a problem. We have got
:10:16. > :10:18.lighter soil here. I think things are looking good. The car parks are
:10:19. > :10:22.in excellent order and today has gone well. We've had a busy day.
:10:23. > :10:27.Lots of people putting final touches to things, which is great to see.
:10:28. > :10:31.After that event, 21 years ago, what changes, if any, did you put in
:10:32. > :10:36.place. Have you got insurance if you had to cancel a day at the show? No.
:10:37. > :10:40.It's not something we do. We tend to look on ourselves as our own
:10:41. > :10:43.insurers from that point of view. Bearing in mind that was the first
:10:44. > :10:48.time we'd cancelled a day in over 200 years of the show existing. It's
:10:49. > :10:52.really something that is not a huge risk, but obviously, the risk is.
:10:53. > :10:58.There we wouldn't foresee that being a problem this year. In those past
:10:59. > :11:02.years, I suppose, there's lots more hard road, buildings and so forth, a
:11:03. > :11:06.modern show ground, fit for purpose. We would like to think it stands
:11:07. > :11:11.most things. We will keep our fingers crossed. Thank you very much
:11:12. > :11:15.for joining us. More than 100 pregnant ewes have
:11:16. > :11:19.been stolen from a farm in Cornwall in what's described as a
:11:20. > :11:23.sophisticated operation. The sheep were taken in batches over several
:11:24. > :11:29.months. The National Farmers' Union says sheep rustling is on the
:11:30. > :11:34.increase. Walk on. Jeremy runs a large flock
:11:35. > :11:40.of sheep on his farm. Before lambing, he had more than 1600
:11:41. > :11:45.animals. They were over win terd on various farms in the area. When they
:11:46. > :11:51.brought their pregnant ewes together for lapping, one of `` lambing, one
:11:52. > :11:57.of the shepherds noticed some were missing. He said, funny thing is
:11:58. > :12:01.we've scanned 1600 and we only have 1500. We didn't think anything of
:12:02. > :12:05.it. But actually, recounted all the flocks and everything that had
:12:06. > :12:11.lambed and there were 100 missing. The galling thing is, it's about 20
:12:12. > :12:16.sheep that are missing from each of the five flocks. Because there were
:12:17. > :12:20.up to 200 in each flock, we didn't notice at the time they'd This flock
:12:21. > :12:26.gone. Has been part of a three`year breeding programme to produce a
:12:27. > :12:32.sheep called a hybrid aberdale. The genetic make up means the ewes are
:12:33. > :12:36.more likely to produce two lambs at birth. The National Farmers' Union
:12:37. > :12:42.say sheep thefts are on the increase. There have been 60,000
:12:43. > :12:48.sheep stole anyone the UK during 2013 and since 2011, sheep thefts
:12:49. > :12:52.are up by 170%. That's because the price of meat in the shops is very
:12:53. > :12:55.high. That doesn't mean the farmer is getting that money. The shoppers
:12:56. > :12:59.are paying for it, so somebody is selling it somewhere. This farmer
:13:00. > :13:05.said the thieves would have had to use a sheepdog and trailer to steal
:13:06. > :13:09.his animals. The NFU is asking people in rural areas to be extra
:13:10. > :13:17.vigilant and report any unusual activity.
:13:18. > :13:25.Coming up: The school short listed as primary of the year, plus, D`Day
:13:26. > :13:31.remembered as the 70th anniversary approaches, one man recalls the
:13:32. > :13:35.Normandy landings. And a chance to look at this
:13:36. > :13:39.1,000`year`old book and unravel some of its riddles.
:13:40. > :13:43.More and more new businesses in the south`west are being given a
:13:44. > :13:47.financial kickstart through crowd funding, when people invest a small
:13:48. > :13:52.or large amount of money online in return for a share in the company or
:13:53. > :13:55.some other award. Companies appeal for investment via internet crowd
:13:56. > :14:01.funding platforms. Two of the leading ones in the UK are based
:14:02. > :14:06.here in the south`west. The sun is shining and the sausages
:14:07. > :14:14.are sizzling, but this is no ordinary party. Here in Chagford
:14:15. > :14:16.they are celebrating raising ?15,000 through internet crowd funding to
:14:17. > :14:22.pay for a new dairy for their goats. It was eight weeks. We hit our
:14:23. > :14:26.targets with two days left. Last week was nail`biting at times. Just
:14:27. > :14:30.feel massively humbled to be honest. Each of the guests at the party are
:14:31. > :14:34.crowd funders, people who've invested amounts from as little as
:14:35. > :14:41.?40 each, in return for a reward other than money. In this case, it's
:14:42. > :14:46.a T`shirt, bag or cheese. I always want to have local,
:14:47. > :14:50.organically`grown food. I want to know the Providence of my food. This
:14:51. > :14:56.is the perfect thing to support. I get a weekly contribution from the
:14:57. > :15:00.farm for my money. It's win`win. The farm raised its money through the
:15:01. > :15:05.crowd funder website. It's been named by the crowd funding centre as
:15:06. > :15:09.the UK's number`one rewards based platform. It operates from Newquay.
:15:10. > :15:13.We work with businesses, community groups and charities who have great
:15:14. > :15:16.ideas, but want to make something work in their local communities. We
:15:17. > :15:21.help them to raise money from the community around them. What's
:15:22. > :15:25.fascinating is the sheer variety of projects you can invest in. From a
:15:26. > :15:31.scheme to rehabilitate retired race horses, to a community sports
:15:32. > :15:39.pavilion, and a company that will deliver organic salad boxes to your
:15:40. > :15:45.door by bicycle. Will of Wave Length Surf magazine has used crowd funding
:15:46. > :15:48.to raise money. Wave Length has a large community. That community can
:15:49. > :15:55.be tapped into by crowd funding in a way that a bank can't understand or
:15:56. > :15:59.won't necessarily put any value to. Crowd funder's sister company in
:16:00. > :16:03.Exeter works on a model a bit like Dragon's Den, where people invest
:16:04. > :16:07.money in return for a share in the company, rather than reward. Through
:16:08. > :16:13.it, people have invested ?6 million for south`west businesses this year
:16:14. > :16:21.alone. But there are risks. We make it abun doesn'tly clear that this is
:16:22. > :16:25.a high``` abundantly clear this is a high`risk investment. Crowd funding
:16:26. > :16:29.is still in its early stages and commentators say it's too early to
:16:30. > :16:33.tell which platforms will be market leaders, as eBay did with online
:16:34. > :16:37.auctioning. Could the South West become the crowd funding equivalent
:16:38. > :16:45.of Silicon Valley? The goats are still chewing that one over.
:16:46. > :16:55.For many British veterans, this year will be their final official
:16:56. > :17:01.pilgrimage to Normandy. Thousands of troops embarked for the invasion whi
:17:02. > :17:05.changed history. `` which changed history.
:17:06. > :17:08.We've been speaking to veterans, who made their contribution to the
:17:09. > :17:14.operation and who remember being part of the D`Day landings.
:17:15. > :17:19.Archive: Now the flood of pictures of the invasion have started, we add
:17:20. > :17:26.length to our news reels so we can give fuller detail of the front
:17:27. > :17:29.offences, when from England came the conquest of German`occupied
:17:30. > :17:32.Normandy. Operation over`Lord, the mission had
:17:33. > :17:48.been kept top secret. War ships joined amphibious craft to
:17:49. > :17:55.make a decisive move on German`occupied France, among them
:17:56. > :18:02.was Harold Ball from Paignton. We were the first to open up the
:18:03. > :18:06.barrage with the 15`inch guns onto the German shore batteries. If I'd
:18:07. > :18:16.have been Jerry, I'd have been frightened to death. She was
:18:17. > :18:24.shelled, bombed and narrowly missed being torpedoed. No doubt a lot of
:18:25. > :18:29.us were scared. We were only 18, but we'd got a good crew. She was a
:18:30. > :18:39.happy ship. A about thely happy ship and a good ship. Every man knew his
:18:40. > :18:50.job and every man turned to and the discipline, it was just natural.
:18:51. > :19:03.Back in Cornwall for a Service of Remembrance. Veterans from the
:19:04. > :19:09.American 29th infantry division. They left this place for an assault
:19:10. > :19:13.on Omaha Beach. On the beach I was very fortunate. I came in on a
:19:14. > :19:17.British navy landing craft assault. Two of us made it to the beach. Two
:19:18. > :19:24.others were shot before they even got out of the water. The 29th
:19:25. > :19:31.division suffered heavy losses. Many men came here as soldiers. Many men
:19:32. > :19:39.would stay away. Many men will never come home again. All this week,
:19:40. > :19:49.people across the South West are paying tribute.
:19:50. > :19:52.You can hear more D`Day stories on BBC Radio's difb and Cornwall
:19:53. > :19:58.tomorrow morning. One of the most unusual books in the
:19:59. > :20:02.world is making a rare public appearance at Exeter cathedral.
:20:03. > :20:07.Written towards the end of the 10th century the Exeter Book is the
:20:08. > :20:08.oldest surviving collection of English literature and it's going on
:20:09. > :20:23.display. Sorry about the problems we seem to
:20:24. > :20:27.be having there. Time now for a quick look at the weather, though.
:20:28. > :20:30.Fingers crossed for The Royal Cornwall Show. David is here with
:20:31. > :20:34.the detail. It's been awful today. People at the
:20:35. > :20:38.show today, it's been cold and windy and wet. The good news is, it is
:20:39. > :20:41.much better for tomorrow, which is the first day. Good evening to you.
:20:42. > :20:44.It's been pretty miserable today. More cloud and rain around than we
:20:45. > :20:48.originally thought. There is some light at the end of the tunnel. It's
:20:49. > :20:52.beginning to clear from the more western parts of Cornwall and
:20:53. > :20:59.hopefully, tomorrow is a largely dry day. Risk of a shower or Friday.
:21:00. > :21:00.Risk of a shower heading into the weekend. That's tomorrow's weather,
:21:01. > :21:05.mainly fine, hazy sunshine. biggest difference ` it will feel
:21:06. > :21:09.warmer. Some parts of the south`west today have got no more than 10 or 11
:21:10. > :21:14.degrees. That's pretty low for the month of June. A look at the show to
:21:15. > :21:18.start with. For tomorrow, a fine day, 16, 17 degrees, the top
:21:19. > :21:22.temperature. On Friday, even warmer. But quite a brisk south`east wind.
:21:23. > :21:29.We may see showers early in the day. It brightens up in the afternoon.
:21:30. > :21:32.The greatest threat of showers is on Saturday, perhaps in the morning.
:21:33. > :21:36.Things improve into the afternoon. Now, low pressure is out here to the
:21:37. > :21:39.west. This is the dominant feature as we head towards the end of the
:21:40. > :21:43.week and into the weekend. It's that area of low pressure that draws up
:21:44. > :21:46.some warmth from Spain and Portugal. That's the reason for the higher
:21:47. > :21:50.temperatures. We could have some of the highest temperatures we've seen
:21:51. > :21:54.so far this year on Friday. The low pressure is there on Friday and into
:21:55. > :21:58.Saturday, generating some showers. We will have to keep a close eye on
:21:59. > :22:01.those. For the immediate future, the rain that we have now, which has
:22:02. > :22:06.been troublesome, is beginning to move away. It's taking its time.
:22:07. > :22:09.Later this evening, there's the risk of showery outbreaks of rain, until
:22:10. > :22:25.after midnight, before it all clears. Later in the night, it turns
:22:26. > :22:28.Cilicy. Over`` it churns chilly. `` it turns chilly.
:22:29. > :22:33.It's a cold start to the day tomorrow, but it should be a fine
:22:34. > :22:37.day. Patchy cloud will come and go. It's not going to be wall`to`wall
:22:38. > :22:43.sunshine. High level cloud into the far west. Still dry for west
:22:44. > :22:48.Cornwall. For most of us it's a better day. A top figure of 17,
:22:49. > :22:52.possibly 18, degrees. For the Isles of Scilly, after sunshine in the
:22:53. > :22:56.morning, it will cloud over. High`level cloud coming in. Briefly
:22:57. > :23:14.some hazy sunshine. The breeze picks up here too.
:23:15. > :23:19.There's the coastal waters forecast. The winds are from the south or
:23:20. > :23:30.south`east. The outlook is for showers as we
:23:31. > :23:34.head into the weekend. Saturday we are a bit concerned. We have an
:23:35. > :23:37.early warning from the Met Office about potentially very heavy showers
:23:38. > :23:41.forming on Saturday. Stay tuned to the forecast, of course. Have a good
:23:42. > :23:44.evening. Thank goodness you're always there
:23:45. > :23:51.when the technology fails us, once again. Now back to that story about
:23:52. > :23:56.the unusual book in Exeter. Normally locked away, today the
:23:57. > :24:04.Exeter Book was unbound and among the first to marvel at its
:24:05. > :24:07.treasures, a Canadian student. This is the book. This is probably our
:24:08. > :24:13.best known and probably our most important holding in the cathedral
:24:14. > :24:20.library. It was donated by Exeter's first bishop. It's an anthology of
:24:21. > :24:23.poems in old English. There are only four of such anthologies in the
:24:24. > :24:29.world. This is probably the oldest of them. So,if you like, this is the
:24:30. > :24:34.oldest book of English literature in existence. I think it's fantastic.
:24:35. > :24:36.It's really a dream come true for me to see it. I never expected I would
:24:37. > :24:54.get this opportunity. On this page, as it happens, you can
:24:55. > :24:58.see some Runic There are letters. No illustrations, no colours or titles
:24:59. > :25:03.to the poems or, for that matter, the 96 Anglo`Saxon riddles, some of
:25:04. > :25:07.which feature on the High Street sculpturement The contents of this
:25:08. > :25:11.book are not found anywhere else. If this book were lost between a
:25:12. > :25:17.quarter and a third of all English poetry known would be unknown. So,
:25:18. > :25:21.it's very important indeed. This summer, the Exeter Book will be on
:25:22. > :25:30.show the first Wednesday afternoon of the month.
:25:31. > :25:34.Now schools are used to eagerly anticipating results, but for one in
:25:35. > :25:37.Plymouth, it's nothing to do with exams. Prince Rock Primary has made
:25:38. > :25:44.it to the short list for a national award, which could see it crowned
:25:45. > :25:48.Primary School of the Year. I'm Bailey. And we're going to show
:25:49. > :26:03.you around Prince rock school. This is where the little ones play.
:26:04. > :26:10.This is our art room, where we create mini artists.
:26:11. > :26:18.This is one of our year two classes and they're reading a story. The
:26:19. > :26:22.dinosaurs are coming. As stories go, Prince Rock Primary has been a page
:26:23. > :26:28.turner. We had a fantastic year last year. We became a national teaching
:26:29. > :26:31.school. We had our third straight outstanding in a row, against the
:26:32. > :26:34.back drop of major building work in the school. That was why we were
:26:35. > :26:37.nominated. We're up against five other schools. They're all going to
:26:38. > :26:40.be very good. There's 25,000 schools in the country, to have made the top
:26:41. > :26:45.six is fantastic. We're delighted to be in the mix. But what do the
:26:46. > :26:51.pupils like about it? I know just who to sc. The teachers always help
:26:52. > :26:56.you, if you're stuck. Everything else is just perfect. The thing I
:26:57. > :27:02.like most is we go on lots of trips, so we can experience going to farms
:27:03. > :27:10.and zoos and thingedz like that. Pupils and staff singing from the
:27:11. > :27:16.same hymn sheet, quite literally. # Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
:27:17. > :27:21.# The winner of the Primary School of
:27:22. > :27:28.the Year award will be announced early next month.
:27:29. > :27:35.All the very best of luck to them. Good luck. Just a reminder, full
:27:36. > :27:38.coverage on BBC Radio Cornwall of The Royal Cornwall Show tomorrow and
:27:39. > :27:42.we're there for Spotlight as well tomorrow at 6. 6.30pm. That's all
:27:43. > :27:44.for this evening. I'm back with the late news at 10. 30pm. Bye`bye for
