Home learning and outdoor clothes for all next week!

There is a definite chill in the air these days which helped us begin to imagine the cold temperatures that polar explorers experience.

As the temperature drops, could parents and carers label extra clothing items, like gloves and hats, with your child's name please. It will help us reunite any missing items that could be easily misplaced.
Please note that there is a slight change to the timetable. In response to the wet and colder weather we have been having, I made the decision to teach gymnastics this term instead of outdoor PE. Children still need their PE kit which stay in school for the term.

Outdoor clothes for everyone next week please
Next week all houses will be doing some sculptures with an outdoor artist. Please could all children bring in their outdoor clothing on Monday.

Home Learning
This week I was very impressed with the children's ability to verbally retell the story of Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance. This incredible story of survival and resilience has clearly captured their imaginations.
 
For home learning this week I would like the majority of the class to finish their retelling of the Endurance story in their writing books. These children have been sent home with their blue literacy books, some instructions and an overview of the main events of the story. Hopefully the children have what they need to complete their writing but if you need any extra support or you have any questions, feel free to email me  c.browne@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
Please return all literacy books by Wednesday, thank you.

For those children that completed their stories in school I would like them to complete some research on a polar animal of their choice.


Thank you for getting involved with BBC's Children in Need day today. The children looked fantastic in their spotty inspired clothes and a big thank you to those people that donated cakes and bought cakes, pin badges and keyrings.
