Wow, I can't quite believe that we are in our final week of Year Four and the last week of being at POW!!
This week is going to be an emotional one for all but will also be full of happiness and laughter. Today we all enjoyed some time in the meadow and garden area. Tomorrow we are having a picnic in the meadow and also having a fire at the roundhouse area as we could not do this last week. Wednesday we are having another water fight and also taking part in sports day! Thursday we will be practising for our assembly and taking part in a quiz. Then before we know it...Friday will be here.
As you all know Friday is our leavers assembly. This starts at 10:30 sharp, however, you can come onto the field from 10am. There will be specific places set out on the field for you to sit in your bubble. After the assembly you are all invited to have a picnic lunch with your children. This will be 12-1pm. The children will then take part in a talent show during the afternoon. At 2:20pm the children will all be taking part in a final walk around the school where the rest of the school will be clapping them from their kingdoms. Please may you pick up your children at 2:30pm from the school gates. If for any reason you are late we will keep the children in their kingdoms until you collect them.
Please can you ensure that children are dressed in smart clothes for their leavers assembly - an outfit that you would wear to the oscars. We do have some clothing at school if you do need to borrow any.
This is yet another fun filled week at The Prince of Wales and we promise to make it a memorable last week for all children.
Thank you for your continued support!!
The Year Four Team x
P.S - bring tissues with you on Friday, it's going to be a tear jerker!

Last few weeks and PSHE.
Hello all,
I can't believe that we have 8 school days left at school. This time is really flying by, however, we have so much more fun to fit in!!
Today we had a lovely socially distanced get together with their buddies on the field that was full of dancing, reading, laughter and ice lollies. This afternoon was enjoyed by all. Tomorrow we have an afternoon of bingo with Mrs Scott and her sidekick Miss White.
Today myself and Miss Johnson delivered a PSHE lesson surrounding a topic that every Year 4 learns about during their final term. Due to COVID-19 we could not run these sessions as we usually would. However, the children learnt about the reproductive systems, how a baby is created and also puberty and how our bodies change. All children showed such a high level of maturity and some great questions were asked. I was very proud of their attitude towards this topic and how open they were in discussions. All questions that the children had were answered in the lesson and we have said any further questions can be asked at any time. If you have any questions about what was spoken about today in these sessions please don't hesitate to catch myself (Miss White) or Miss Johnson in the morning or send us an email. You should feel very proud of the mature attitudes that were shown today, as we are!
Coming home with the children will be letters about the leavers assembly and sign up sheets for spaces on the field. Please return these ASAP. This is going to be an assembly that will never be forgotten.
As always, if you have any questions please contact us.

Coming up this Friday is DANCE DAY. The Year Four children will be dancing to Reach - S Club 7. Unfortunately due to the current pandemic parents aren't allowed to come and watch. However, we will be filming the dances and taking lots of pictures.
The children should have come home with lyrics for two songs that we are learning. Please can you spend some time at home helping your children to learn the lyrics to these. Both songs are on Youtube and we are spending time in school working on these as well.
The Final Tour really kicks off this week. On Tuesday we have 'Tardis Tuesday' which is a look back in the POW photo archive. Wednesday we have our final trip to Maiden Castle Farm - please send your child in with wellies and a packed lunch! Thursday is 'Thursday Tunes' which is a final sing-a-long with Mr Macbean. Then as well as Dance Day on Friday we have 'Funky Friday' which is a Year 4 disco on the field and we are asking all children to dance 'FUNKY'.
Busy week coming up for all and we can't wait to make these last weeks as memorable as we can! I know I will never forget this year!!

Questions about transition to Middle Schools.
Hello all,
I hope you are well and keeping safe. We are missing the Year Fours so much!! It's been amazing to see all of your work that has been produced in the Virtual School - you should all feel very proud of yourselves.
Myself and Miss Johnson have been in close contact with the middle schools these past couple of weeks. As the transition period is different this year with having to do a lot virtually we are ensuring that you all feel supported! In relation to this we are opening up a question and answer session.
If you have any questions or queries at all, please send them to myself and Miss Johnson and we will send them to the respective schools. We are going to collate questions and send them off next week.
Please remember that no question is a stupid question and any anxiety you have is perfectly normal.
Please please please send us anything!!
Miss White - a.white@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
Miss Johnson - a.johnson@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
Look forward to hearing from you soon,

A quick reminder about the sentences for the Leavers Book.
Hello everyone!
Hope you are all keeping well and safe. Please let us know if you need anything or just want a chat, that's what we are here for.
I am blown away with the level of work that I am seeing - You should all feel very proud. Even in these uncertain and strange times you are making me the proudest teacher ever!! I'm sure the rest of the Year 4 team will agree with me.
Just a reminder about sending me sentences from your children to me for their leavers book. As much as we don't want it to, the end is slowly approaching, which makes me so SAD!! Please send me the sentences to a.white@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
All I need is one memory from each year that they have been at POW, and also include who their teacher was. The sooner we get all of these sentences in, the sooner we can send off for their books.
Missing you all and fingers crossed we will all see each other again soon!
Take care!

Missing you all!
Hello everyone! The Year 4 team are really missing you all and can’t wait for you all to come back to school!
I hope you are all keeping safe and having fun.
As you all know this is your last year of POW, and we are currently working hard to create a leavers book for you all to have. The only thing we are missing are a few sentences from each of you. These sentences need to focus on one memory you have for each year you’ve been at POW. Please try and limit what you are writing as there isn’t a lot of space for this. One sentence for each year is perfect!!! It would also be nice if you could mention which teacher you had in each year as well. Once you have done this please can you send it to Miss White - a.white@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
The sooner these are in, the sooner we can send off and get our amazing leavers books published.
If there is anything more we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to contact any of us.
Missing you all!!!!
