Thank you to the volunteers who joined us at Bovington Tank Museum on Monday. It was, as ever, a fantastic trip - a real rich and valuable learning experience, not only contextualising our topic but also providing a wider understanding of conflict across the world and through history.
Thank you to all those of you who were able to support the PoW Community Choir last Friday! We had a visitor today from Dorchester Arts;we have been asked to lead the parade for the Dorchester Christmas Cracker NEXT THURSDAY. Therefore, we participated in a lantern workshop in preparation. It would be wonderful to see as many of you as possible joining the parade, please could you let Mr. Macbean or myself know if you are able to come. We will meet at the Top o' Town roundabout and parade down High West Street for the lights to be turned on at 6:30pm.
Thank you to all of you who have brought in your costumes so far - a tremendous effort, well done! Please could costumes be in BY NEXT FRIDAY.
Well done to our basket ball team who represented PoW today - super effort making us proud once again!
Today we launched our Big Write preparation - we watched the Sainsbury's Christmas advert from last year - WW1 Christmas Truce. It proved to be a VERY emotional, thought provoking lesson where the children were greatly inspired and very passionate. Especially having visited "The Trenches" at Bovington. Please do watch the advert and discuss it at home, gathering as much rich vocabulary and as many literary devices as possible.
