Upcoming dates and activities, swimming update and potential present idea

 

Hello everyone,

The Christmas period has definitely arrived at The Prince of Wales School and I hope you and your child enjoyed walking though the wardrobe into Narnia on Monday. On Monday, the children started some inspired writing and on Thursday the children will be visited by the team from The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares for a creative writing workshop based on the characters from Narnia. 

This Friday, children are invited to wear either a Christmas jumper or dress up as an elf for the day our annual Christmas Jumper Day / Elf Day / Wear Something Christmassy Day /Wear Any Non-School Uniform Day! Children are encouraged to take part in their own way, in exchange for a raffle prize/donation to POWSA ahead of the POWSA Christmas Fayre on Sunday 3rd December 2023.

Also on this day we will be having our annual ‘Christmas Craft Day’ which will see children across the school working together in mixed-age groups to complete a range of craft activities. 

Christmas Performances

Key Stage 2 are currently working hard to learn our Christmas performance, No-one wraps like an Elf. Tomorrow (Wednesday), children should be coming home with a list of the costumes they will need. An electronic version of this can be viewed here.   If you have any concerns or questions about your child's costume, please get in touch. 

It would be very helpful if you could practice your child's lines with them at home please. 

Pencil Cases from Spring term onwards

After the Christmas holidays, children are welcome to start bringing in their own pencil cases if they wish. We will always provide the equipment your child needs but once your child is at middle school they will need to bring in their own supplies.
