What a wonderfully dragon-filled inspired writing week we have had at the Prince of Wales School!
The children were absolutely delighted by a visit from Teach Rex, who brought Luna the dragon along for us to meet. After some inspiring storytelling from the TeachRex team, the children returned to class brimming with ideas and enthusiasm, ready to design their own unique dragons.
This provided a fantastic opportunity for oracy, with the children talking about, exploring, and justifying the different features, powers, and skills their dragons might have. The children then went on to write about their individual dragons, developing their ideas in more detail. We also made links to our DT learning, where the children designed and created castles that could be used to defend their occupants from dragons.
This week’s home learning will be for children to create a comic strip involving a dragon. Hard copies of the template will be coming home on Friday.
There will be no new spellings sent home this week. Instead, we invite children to access their personal spelling lists on EdShed and practise these where possible.
On Monday, we will be saying goodbye to our trainee teacher, Ms Baker, who has been with us since September. It has been a pleasure working with her, and we would like to thank her for her hard work and contribution to the class. We wish her all the very best at her new placement school.
Finally, a reminder that the last day of term is Friday 13th February. After half term, there will be an INSET day on Monday 23rd February, and all children will return to school on Tuesday 24th February.
