Hello everyone

Hi everyone,

We hope you all have had a great weekend. It has been lovely to catch up with lots of you over the week  whilst dropping of the Mail a Hug envelopes. We hope you have enjoyed creating your mail a hug. 

Its great seeing all the amazing home learning you are all doing at home and look forward to seeing you adventures this week. 

Everyday Mr Spracklen has Good morning POW at 9.30, 11.20 virtual assembly and 4.00pm Evening POW. This can be accessed on Facebook and you tube and is a great way of seeing what everyone is up to. There are great guest on the virtual assemblies. 

We have thought of some ideas you might like to do during the week. Please don't feel you need to undertake these as they are intended just to give you ideas.

Physical Challenge:-

Can you complete Mr Treble game of putting on a PE kit moving in different ways. How fast can you do it? The link for the video is here:-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI98TzIL3o4&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR10pzSMtQ1YEbVCv4lZy7AITE8WNkDL6wlQ_tEK-0u5q1xNDlHrZmjTyN4

Or maybe you might like to move like these animals with a 7 minute movement session

Fine motor skills:-

Can you stick some paper under a table and have a go at lying under the table and drawing a picture? I am going to have a go at doing this. I will put my picture on during the week.

Maths Challenge:-

Can you plan a game of number bingo? Maybe you could have a prize for a full house?

Can you create a shopping list? 

Experessive Art and design:- 

Can you make some bunting for your VE Day Stay at home street party? Here is a template of some bunting as an idea. Maybe you could use paint, tie dye, chalks, pens to decorate your bunting?

Can you play a game of I spy with objects on a tray?

Understanding of the  world:-

DANDELION Honey

Who knew you could make honey from Dandelions!?!?!? I had no idea they were even edible until last week! It’s really easy to make too. We only made a small amount as we just collected dandelions from the garden before we mowed the lawn, but the kids loved it.
.
🍋Collect a cup full of dandelions (just the yellow part)
🍋Boil with a cup full of water and half a lemon
🍋Sieve the mixture and add a cup of sugar
🍋Bring to the boil to reduce down a little
🍋Pour into a jar (it thickens up as it cools)
🍋Enjoy! 

This Week...

VE Day - Local - Thursday 7th May 2020 -

With the national commemorations taking place on Friday 8th May 2020, we plan to hold our own local virtual #InspiredToLearn commemoration on Thursday 7th May 2020.  

Our commemoration will take the format of an #InspiredToLearn Music Concert that will run from 2pm through to 5pm, hopefully providing the perfect backdrop to another picnic in your garden. We figured that two picnics in two days can be no bad thing!?

If you or your son/daughter would like to play at this virtual concert, please email me and we will work out agreed songs and timings in advance. 

At 4:00pm, we will join together with a POW-wide rendition of Dame Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again’, perfect practice before the national effort on the following day.

75th Anniversary - VE Day - 

Friday 8th May 2020 marks 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe. The 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe was to have been marked with a series of local and national events, including our very own #InspiredToLearn VE Street Party. 

However, with these plans now cancelled the idea of a 'Stay at Home Street Party' is encouraging people to decorate their houses in red, white and blue and have a picnic in their front garden to celebrate. 

We hope you all have a great week having fun and exploring new things. We look forward to hearing all about the great things you are up to. Please fee free to email them to j.nineham@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk. We miss you all. Keep smiling and keep safe. You are all amazing
