Ofsted Parent View

As you know at the Prince of Wales First School we are always looking for feedback and encourage you to provide this in a variety of ways. Whether this is through face-to-face conversation, comments on our class blogs or through our annual parents questionnaire, we always welcome your feedback. Building on this, we would now encourage you to go online and express your views using the new ‘Parent View’ website from Ofsted. This 12-question survey will help other parents as they make important choices about their child’s education and provide Ofsted with information about our school that will help them inform their priorities for inspection. The questionnaire does not allow free text comments but invites responses to a series of closed questions. To express your view, please visit our school website now and click on the parent tab and look for the link to the Parent View website. Alternatively, visit: http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/.

Home Learning

We have had some super responses to the last two week's home learning activities.  The children are really enthusiastic about their online Zoos on the BBC website, and many are so successful they are even breeding their own virtual animals!  I'm also very pleased to see some super Firework safety homework, which is now on the wall of the classroom.  Well done year 4.  Those of you who have not yet returned your work, please have it ready by Friday at the latest, there is still space on my wall!

Auditions!

We will be encouraging children in year 4 to come along and audition for the main parts in this year's KS2 christmas performance this week.  We will ask children to read parts and do a spot of singing.  There are lots of parts, so if you have a budding thespian encourage them to come along and have a go!
Thursday Lunchtime 1pm.

Pirate Costumes

The children will need their Pirate Costumes at the ready for the class assembly on Friday 4th November.  Please bring in a named bag.  Thank you.

Wonderful Zoo Keepers

We have had some fantastic homework in this week.  The children were asked to design their own zoo or wildlife park.  Many children have gone that extra mile, we have 3D models, large posters, maps and some children have even logged on to the BBC Roar website and created their own virtual zoos.  Fantastic!

Class Assembly

We are looking forward to seeing you all at our class assembly this Friday at 9.20am.
