Hello everyone

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a sunny weekend. 

We hope you enjoyed watching the chicks hatch last week. We will be putting the chicks online throughout the week so you can watch them grow. Friday was great with the virtual disco and we hope you all had a good dance at home. In our house we really enjoyed India day and had great fun making a curry which was very yummy.

It's been amazing to see all the fantastic home learning the children are doing. It's lovely to receive  their emails. Keep sending all the wonderful things you are up to by emailing them to j.nineham@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk. 

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. It's really interactive and guarantee to make you smile. 

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.

Can you make some Easter nests for some chick eggs. Maybe you would like to use natural objects from your garden or maybe some yummy chocolate rice crispy nest?


Can you explore a variety of objects that can float and sink. Maybe you could make your own boat which floats. Why do things float? why do things sink?


Can you make your vegetable scraps regrow?


Can you move around the garden in variety of animal ways e.g. cat, giraffe, bunny, bird etc


Can you do a letter sound hunt around the house or garden? Can you say the sound?

On the book trust website (https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/storybooks-and-games/?) There are some lovely interactive stories that we think you will all enjoy. 

On the Longleat Facebook page you can go on the virtual longleat safari. Charlotte and Grace really enjoyed this as you get to see all the animals.


Can you do a maths scavenger hunt? 

Over the week I have found some great resources to help children understand what is going on at the moment. Here is some of the resources I have found.

-The Prince of Wales school Facebook page has some resources to support our families

-The playmobil video is great for explaining what is happening and why (https://www.heart.co.uk/news/coronavirus/playmobil-video-explain-virus-children/)

-Please check out the Kingfisher Ward Dorset County Hospital Facebook page for a video which helps children to understand a bit more about it.

Over the week Zoe will be phoning all of our families to see how you all are and if there's anything we can do to help. Also please feel free to give us an email if you have any questions or need anything.

Missing you all and hope you have a happy week playing and learning together in the sunshine. We can't wait to see your photo’s of your adventure’s. Happy Easter to you all.
