Home Learning Year 3

Well done to all those children who completed the suggested "Home Learning" this week. We had a fantastic response, many of the children opting to present their work using "Powerpoint". We have really enjoyed looking at all of the excellent work.

For the week over half term, I have asked the children to find out about creatures that live in and around rivers (with particular reference to rivers in this country- so no crocodiles etc).
This research will lead on to work that we will be doing about Rivers and about the ecology of Rivers.

We hope that you have a great half term holiday.

POW Netball Tournament

POW Netball Tournament

18/05/13

On Saturday, the school was full of buzz and excitement with lots of different stalls and activities set up. There were also several children dressed in their PE kit ready for the netball and football tournaments that were about to take place. We welcomed netball teams from Piddle Valley, Milborne, Puddletown and Winterborne schools and all began warming up ready for the first match.

There was some fantastic netball being played by all teams and the tournament was well underway.

Group A winners were Prince of Wales after a fantastic attacking team effort in their last match putting them through to the final on goal difference.

Group B winners were Piddle Valley 1 with a brilliant use of the bounce pass into the D to create several goal scoring opportunities.

THE FINAL

POW vs PV1

In the tense final, with many team mates and parents cheering on the side lines, both teams played brilliantly. Piddle Valley's speed of passing and movement began to tip the scoreline in their favour before half time. In the final half Prince of Wales did well to get some goals back. But the clock had run out... Piddle Valley won 8-3. Mr Farrington presented the winners with the POW trophy and congratulated all the children for taking part in some excellent netball.

Thank you to all who watched and cheered the teams along and to all the competing schools. A big thank you to Miss Roberts for organising the fantastic event with the most teams ever competing at the POW summer netball tournament.



Great time at Pizza Express

The children in Year 3 had a great time making pizzas at Pizza Express.

The staff at the new Pizza Express Restaurant in Dorchester

provided a really great cooking lesson, telling the children about the ingredients and techniques needed to make delicious pizzas!

Our thanks to Pizza Express in Dorchester for providing this opportunity for us.

Good Fun at Cranborne

We had a great time at the Cranborne Ancient Technology Centre. The children were all very well behaved and a real pleasure to work with. They showed masses of enthusiasm for everything we did and looked after each other very nicely.
There are a few bits and bobs that have been left at school: We have a black and red sleeping bag, a black Clarks shoe, a Tshirt and a couple of odd socks. Please let us know if they belong to you.
Many Thanks,
Duncan MacBean

School Music Soiree

On Friday 10th May a letter will be sent out to all children who learn instruments or who partake in music sessions within The Prince of Wales School to come and perform at the Summer Soiree 2013! We endeavour to involve all children whether beginner or an advanced player. The choir will also perform as well as recorder groups. Please fill out the slip accordingly and return to the school office asap.
If your child has music lessons outside of school but would also like to perform then please drop by and speak to me, we'll endeavour to involve all who wish to perform!
Orchestra  - the children are doing really well with rehearsing the two songs. With six sessions left before the school concert it is important that all children make rehearsals as the premise is to get all playing well with each other!
Choir - again, six sessions to go before our big performance! The sunny lunchtimes are tempting children not to attend. Please talk to your child about 'sticking to attending'. We are trying to give the children some time after choir to go outside too. We do keep a register, so please see me if any queries?
Finally the summer term is the culmination of music practice. So if your child is showing an interest in beginning an instrument then please inform either the school office or myself and we'll place their names on lists for September. We are going to have some spaces when Yr 4 leave in brass, violin, piano and singing.
