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.

Lost shoes!

Hi there!

Just a quick request - a pair of new school shoes have vanished following after school football on Monday - if you could please check bags that would be great!

Thanks,

Home Learning (week of Mon 22nd April)

I have asked the children to have a go at some extra Mathematics for their "Home Learning" this week.
They have been provided with 2 activities:

"The Factor Tribe" and "Prime Time".

Our Mathematics in class over the next couple of week will be centred around the theme of Multiplication.

It would be great if the children could also spend some time developing their quick recall of the "Times Tables" at home.

Thank you,

Duncan MacBean

Meetings with Parents next Tuesday (23rd April)

On Tuesday morning at 9.00 I will be giving my termly chat to parents about the curriculum and classroon practice in Year 3. This usually lasts about 25 minutes.

After school on Tuesday, Mr. Farrington will be doing a presentation for parents about our residential trip to Cranborne Ancient Technology Centre. (3.30-4.10pm)

Both of these events will take place in the school hall.

We hope to see you there,
Duncan MacBean

Vikings

The children in Year 3 have made a very enthusiastic start to the new term, thoroughly enjoying the work we are doing about Vikings in preparation for our trip to Cranborne Ancient Technology Centre.
Well done to those children who did their research work over the Easter Holiday!
A special "Well Done" to Freya, Finbar, Oliver and Alexandra for their enthusiastic extra activities. Great models and artwork!

Orchestra

Orchestra will begin again THIS Thursday 18th April. Clubs begin next week. All players need to attend please, should have their instrument and two pieces of music. Bring a drink and snack and then we'll begin playing! Any extra hands would be gladly appreciated!
