10 green bottles...

You may have noticed that the plastic bottle greenhouse is nearing completion - we now need more plastic bottles to help complete the roof. Please bring bottles into school to either Mr Gibson (R class) or Mrs Webb (Yr 2).

Thank you!

Biathlon update 20th April

Re the Biathle on Sunday 15th May - having re read the information, there is an entry fee of £10 per child, which is new to last year, therefore you will need to give me a cheque made payable to Dorset Pentathletes or cash) - If you now wish to withdraw your entry then that is also fine - just pop in and let me know!

Thanks for your cooperation and support

Mrs. Johnson

Info session and farm trip!

As well as the parent information session this Thursday, we will also be going to Maiden Castle Farm on Thursday, so old play clothes will need to be worn on that day, with wellies and a clean pair of shoes to change in to back at school.

See you all tomorrow!

Parent information session

Yr 4 Parent information session is on Thursday 21st April, at 9am in the school hall. Mrs Johnson will be sharing with you all information regarding learning and trips through the summer term.

Big Pedal starts Monday 18th April

Just a reminder that we are taking part in "The Big Pedal" again this year. We would like to encourage as many children as possible to come to school on their bicycles and scooters.
The competition lasts for the next two weeks.
In the last two years, the Prince of Wales School as achieved a very high percentage of scooterists and cyclists. We are hoping to achieve the same again in the competition this year.
Parents who scoot or cycle with their children can also earn points for the school.

Hooke, notes and BLP!!! Thursday 14th April

Nearly revitalised and refreshed................... a week-end in between will see us all fresh and sparkly ready for next week!

As I am sure the children have told you all about the fabulous trip - I won't go into too many details - there will be a disc with all the photos on available shortly - kindly copied by Mrs. Staddon - If you would like a disc, then we would appreciate a £1 donation towards POWSA.
The children all blossomed in maturity, confidence, and in demonstrating many of the citizenship caterpillar qualities! All the instructors repeatedly said how impressed they were and what a lovely group of children they were!!!!! Super credits to yourselves and the school!!! Well done everyone and we hope you enjoyed yourselves!

A HUUUUUGE thank you to Mr. Macbean, Mr. David, Mrs. Briant, Mrs. Creed, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Barton who all came along and helped to make this a very memorable experience for the children!!!!! (Dedicated people indeed!!!!)

I was absolutely bowled over by the home learning that has arrived!!!!! Outstanding quality, effort and creativity, as well as tremendous resilience, is clear to see - do pop in to the corridor and take a moment to admire the display next week!

News letters will be out next week, summer term parents information session will be next week and new reading targets will be issued next week! As you can imagine this is an incredibly busy and fast term - so strap yourselves in for the ride of your lives!!!!!!!!

Finally, throughout the year, during our learning we have been using certain skills to help us focus on particular areas of learning. This term the whole school are launching an initiative called Building learning Powers - essentially these are a set of skills that will empower the children to be able to tackle their learning and indeed any situation that life presents them. The first skill we are focussing on is Resilience and within resilience there are 4 "tools" that the children will learn about to help them be able to be resilient. The image relating to resilience is a tortoise and we are using a "super hero and super powers" approach to make this a fun and memorable way for the children to learn it and to embed it consistently across the school.

See you all tomorrow!

Mrs. Johnson and the Incredible Year 4 Team!

Hooke - I went to visit 12/04/16

Well I visited the Yr 4 group yesterday and all was well! The sun was shining, the children were happy and relaxed. Sleep!? All slept brilliantly, some stating it was their best night's sleep!? It will be all of the fresh air and exercise no doubt. They also had a visit from Mr Farrington on Monday afternoon whilst shelter building which was exciting!
I watched a group take on the kayaking challenge, which all of the group  tackled superbly. Dare I say I got  splash or two! I also saw team challenge activities which provoked physical and mental agility.
I cannot believe they are back today, seems to have gone quickly. I'm sure you cannot wait to here about what they all got up to?
Mrs Mewett

 

A busy week ahead!!

 

I hope you have all had a fantastic Easter holiday!

 

I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and hearing the fun things you have been up to. I am packing my last minute things now! Hope you are all packed and ready to go?! We are leaving at around 9.45 tomorrow and just a reminder that you will all need a packed lunch.

 

Also please remember that home learning is in by Friday.

 

See you all tomorrow

Farewell India. I will be back.

                                             

 Some of my favourite photos from India.  Had the most wonderful 10 days, spiritually and fulfilling time.  I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit India for their first time. I couldn't pick out one favourite thing, as I was in awe of everything I saw and did and the people we met.
