Stunning!

I agree Mr. Farrington!!!!!!
I have been well and truly bowled over by the home learning!!!!! I particularly like all the different ways you have approached the project showing us how you have been inspired and in what way you like to learn best! Very creative - the only thing that you wont be able to see is the food that some children cooked, inspired by WW2 rationing - yummy flap jacks, vegetable pie and rabbit stew!!!!! You are all amazing and should be very proud of your efforts - I hope you will use these skills in all your future learning (not just at The Prince of Wales!!!!)

Talking of food..........this week is our themed week "From Farm to Fork" - in our class we are learning about fish!!!!! We began by thinking about the health benefits of fish, and in particular oily fish. The children sampled 6 different types of fish, and were brilliant at trying them even if they weren't keen - super impressed - well done!!!! We spent time thinking about types of fish we eat, what they look like and how big they are!!! We will be exploring fishing around the uk and what fish you can catch where, as well as discussing sustainability. A great website you may like to explore at home =
www.school-of-fish.co.uk have a listen to the codcasts, learn facts, play games and lots more!
We have also been inspired by our fishy themed week to produce some watery/fishy art work and some fish themed poetry - these will all be on display on Friday for you to enjoy at the Harvest Assembly or Cafe. The KS2 assembly will be at 10 o'clock in the school hall, the cafe will also be in the hall from 2:30pm. Year 4 will be helping to serve at the cafe with Year 2.

A reminder that next Friday 17th is our class assembly - 9:20 as usual! I will send a slip home tomorrow just reminding everyone that the children will need an evacuee outfit for the assembly and that the home learning is to make a gas mask box.
4 week countdown to our clarinet assembly - the children really impressed all of us today by composing a 2 bar piece of music including notes, crotchets, quavers, semi-quavers with a 4 beat.........then we put each groups together to make a whole song - they read it and played it with great talent!!!!! It is called the "King of Clarinets".

Great achievements this week - Shannon did very well in her gymnastics competition last week-end, Stan was selected as Cub of the Week and had to do all sorts of tricky swimming challenges, and I believe 3 children succeeded in swimming in the deep end of the pool today which was a big achievement for them!

See you all tomorrow!
