Dear Parents and Carers,
What an incredible term we’ve had! From our Shakespeare performance to the singing concert and class assembly, not to mention the handball tournament—there has been so much to celebrate. The children have worked exceptionally hard, and many are showing growing maturity as we move towards their final term at the Prince of Wales School.
Middle School Transition
Families will find out which middle school their child has been allocated on 16th April. For more details about the next steps, please refer to this Dorset Council Link. Once we know which schools the children will be attending, we will begin the transition process. We will keep you informed about visits from key staff at the middle schools and any other important dates. Additionally, your child’s middle school will typically contact you directly via the email address used during the Dorset Council application process.
Home Learning
This week’s home learning includes:
🔹 Maths Problems – Sent home last Friday. Online copies are available here.
🔹 Collage Items – Children are encouraged to bring in any items they would like to include on their collages. These should be small, stickable objects that reflect their interests and fit on an A3 sheet.
Looking ahead, on Friday, the children will receive a science-related home learning task. They will be asked to count and create a tally chart of the number of electrical sockets in each room at home. This data will be used in their science lesson on Thursday 24th April. Online copies of the home learning sheet will be available here.
Next Term
We have lots of activities to look forward to next term including Samba Drums, The Life education visit, Bikeability and our class trip to Bryanston activity centre (letters will come home next term). A list of upcoming dates can be found at the end of this blog.
We all hope you have a lovely school break.
Kind regards,
The Year 4 Team. 😊
