Hello everyone,
What an absolutely wonderful week we have had and thank you all for sending your children to the Prince of Wales School. It is an absolute privilege to work with year 4 - they are such a lovely group of creative, resilient and thoughtful individuals. 😄
This week we had the mystery of the school dragon and the missing dragon book to solve. The children did some great collaborative learning to develop methods to catch a dragon as well as creating their own dragons which mysteriously appeared in the blank pages of Sir Spracklens dragon book under uv light! The week culminated in the children creating their own guides to dragons, complete with habitat, diet and a guide to catch them.
On Thursday the children had their sports day. They all tried really hard despite the heat and what is wonderful to see is their supportive, collaborative attitude to one another. Something that is also increasingly evident at playtimes.
On Friday afternoon the year 4 Samba band performed to the rest of the school. The class have loved their weekly music lessons with Mr Whitmarsh and their hard work and focus has clearly paid off as their performance was fantastic.
Following the samba music the whole school enjoyed a street party.
Next week
We have more fun and activities in store for next week which is our Creativity and Wellbeing week. Every afternoon this week the children will be taking part in creative and wellbeing activities across the school.
Monday - Please see Mr Spracklen's letter about Monday's late start (11am) and the early morning breakfast street party (from 6.45am). Please note that myself and the year 4 team will be at school at 8.45am as normal, for any families not taking advantage of the later start.
Tuesday - Year 4 will take their turn trialing a new resource called Now Press Play which is an immersive educational experience that the school is trialling. I am confident that the children will love it as the feedback from years 1 and 3 has been very positive.
Wednesday - On Wednesday evening it will be the boys turn to sleepover in the roundhouse. The fun starts at 7.30pm and children should have school uniform for the next day with them.
If you haven't yet returned your permission slip please do so by Tuesday morning at the absolute latest.
Thursday - On Thursday evening it will be the girls turn to sleepover. Again 7.30pm and pleases return your permission slip by Tuesday morning at the absolute latest.
Friday - Our #InspiredToLearn Creativity and Wellbeing Week will culminate in an evening of display from 3:30pm to 5:00pm, this will include our annual Musical Soiree! All are welcome to attend this evening of celebration. Year 4 will start the event at 3:30pm and so even if you are unable to stay for the full event it would be wonderful if you could allow your child to stay to perform in the Samba band - you won't want to miss it!
As ever if you have any questions or comments please get in touch.
Have a lovely weekend
Love from,
Ms Browne and the Year 4 team.
