Handwriting Focus

We are having an increased focus on our neat handwriting and the presentation of written work.


We have been encouraging children to make sure that they have an appropriate pencil grip and that they are sitting with a good posture, effectively steadying their paper/book with their non-writing hand.

Please can you reinforce this message with written work that the children carry out at home.




I am hoping to give out certificates to children who have made notable effort and progress over the next couple of weeks.
Thank you,
DM

Year 3 class assembly

I think Mr MacBean's assembly symbolised the way we try to make learning come alive at The Prince of Wales School. The children learnt lots of important historical facts and information and at the same time had lots of fun! They showed great concentration, confidence, co-operation and enthusiasm in the performance. Well done to one and all! Mr Farrington


Home Learning - Week of Mon 17Nov


COUNTRIES IN EUROPE CHALLENGE

Home learning Year 3 –           week of Mon17th Nov

 
Next week, we will challenge the children in Year 3 to name as many countries in Europe as they can.

Can you learn the names of  five?----ten? --- or maybe, twenty?--- even more?!!
 
(They no not need to be able to locate them on a map, - just name them.)

Nelson and Hardy Assembly


Well done to all of the children for their excellent participation in our Class Assembly. We think it was a great success. The children found out a lot about Admiral Nelson and Captain Hardy. They had lots of fun doing the assembly.
Our thanks to all of you who were able to pop in to see it today.

Home Learning Year 3 – Friday 7th November


 

 
For this “home learning” the children will need to look at a map of Europe.

I have given the children a "blank" map of Europe with the instruction of adding details by looking at a complete map.

Can they find and colour in 15 of the countries?

Perhaps they could label even more than 15.
