Collection of children

Can I remind all parents of our ‘Collection of children policy’? If your child is to be picked up by someone different to normal routine then the year team must know this and write it on their communication board within the classroom. Likewise if you have booked a session with a childcare provider please let us know as soon as this is made.


We cannot allow children to leave school with other parents/members of the community if the parent themselves has not expressed this either by writing, telephone message or verbal communication.

Many thanks for your support in this matter.

POW Garden Allotments (Pre school field)

Can those parents and families who placed their names on the previous list and who still want a allotment plot please enter their names on the board outside of school and tick if they would be prepared to assist with the development and running of a plot holders group. We don’t know how many plots we will have yet so they will be offered on a first come basis. Successful applicants will be contacted via the details held in the school office.

Music on Monday's assemblies

At The Prince of Wales school we ask all children who learn a musical instrument to sign up to play on a Monday’s assembly when they feel ready to do so. It’s a wonderful opportunity in practising in front of others, the audience love to see what other children in the school are up to as do the staff and it really helps build upon their ability to play live.
The music teachers are aware of this opportunity but if after talking to your child they wish to put their name down, the list is just outside the music room.

Time to tell the time

We will be having a blitz on time over the next few weeks.  If your child is still struggling with analogue clocks, just start with the short hour hand and ask the children to identify what hour it is, or what hour it is close to or just past before moving onto the minute hand.  Some children often struggle with telling the time, and their ability to do it is not an indicator of the mathematical ability.  For those who have already mastered telling the time, why not try some work at home on time intervals.  It is 6.15 now and you need to be in at 6.40, how long have you got to play?

Viking Adventures

We had a fantastic time at Cranborne, the children coped beautifully living their lives as Vikings.  We enjoyed lots of practical and fun activities and slept snuggly in our sleeping bags.  The weather was so fine we didn't even penetrate the second layer in our kit bags!!  I am still wearing my Viking Crafted Necklace with pride!   Well done year 3!

DT this term

The children are currently finishing off their designed photoframes. We will be displaying these just outside the hall on the round table shortly, please look out for them as the children have given careful thought to the design, the lever to help it stand and who it has been designed for (its market).

Yr 3 class are currently studying the Vikings, after half term the class in their DT sessions are going to be making Viking purses. So if you are able to give any time, Thursday afternoon from 2.30pm onwards it would be much appreciated as sewing always works so much better in small groups as you can probably imagine!

Any questions or thought please do not hesitate to see me!

OUR SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!

Our school needs you to check your bags, wallets, handbags, purses, etc for missing Tesco schools vouchers! Vouchers collected in previous years have exceeded 20,000 and have helped us to obtain some exciting resources. This year we are lower than ever so we are issuing this appeal to find the missing vouchers! Please collect as many vouchers as you can and do not be afraid to ask your friends, neighbours, work colleagues for their vouchers as well. Many people who do not have children simply discard these vouchers and we could make valuable use of them. Collecting boxes are by the school office. Please bring in your vouchers on or before 01/06/11.
