Hi everyone

Hi everyone,

We hope you have all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather this weekend. 

It has been lovely to hear about all the wonderful things you have been up to and seeing lots of amazing home learning. We love to hear all about your adventures, so please feel free to email them to us.

We hope you liked the resources pack that was delivered on Wednesday. Please feel free to dip in and out of these ideas as they are just suggestions. If there are any other resources you would like, please give me an email.



On Wednesday 22nd April is Celebrate Earth Day. To celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday 22nd April 2020 we would like you to share a picture of either...

Something you have done in isolation that you think is saving the world e.g. planting seeds, recycling, reusing some recycling in craft activities.

OR

Make, paint or draw a picture of something you love about the world. It could be your favourite place you would like to visit when we can, your favourite animal, something you have seen in your garden or your daily exercise walk if you are able to do them.

If you would like to share a picture that we can use in a collage to celebrate Earth Day please send these to b.thorpe@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. 

On Thursday 23rd April 2020 - 4:30PM - #InspiredToLearn Virtual Quiz Night. This can be accessed on the school Facebook page. All you need is a pen and paper.

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.

This week the weather is going to be hot and it would be a great opportunity to talk about how to keep safe in the sun. In the resources pack is a poster about sun safety. Can you make a poster to show your school friends how to stay safe in the sun or can you send us a photo of you playing in the sun safely?

Physical Challenge:-
There is Mr Treble Pe session you might like to take part in. He is creating our very own mini home olympics. The first session is short distance sprints.

Fine motor skills:-

Using a can for the kitchen cupboard, how many elastic bands can you stretch over the can? 

Maths Challenge:-

Can you help set the table for dinner. How many forks will you need? How many plates will you need? How many altogether? If teddy came to dinner how many would you need then?


Experessive Art and design:- 

Create your own emergency vehicle. Think about its features- sirens, hosepipes and ladders, bright colours. You could make your vehicles out of old boxes, bottle top lids and cardboard tubes. Is it one you can sit in or a model? What tools will you need and how could you join the materials together? 

Literacy:- 
 

 Read Write Inc  are releasing Storytime with Nick; films of well-loved stories read by Nick Cannon, a trained actor, teacher and trainer and a wonderful storyteller.

Three stories will be published each week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to our YouTube channel.

Join in with a daily Read write inc session Speed sounds Set 1 at 9.30am @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ?fbclid=IwAR21oy-9u0FghZxWgWdM4PGP8alai35ZbUA1E7AsPEsGCS-uUsjhJgfHPx8

Understanding of the  world:-

Skittle experiment

Using a packet of skittles can you arrange the skittles on a plate in a pattern or a rainbow? Following this pour water onto the plate of skittles and see what happens. Maybe before you pour on the water, make

prediction of what might happen.

We hope you all have a great week and enjoy the lovely sunny weather. 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 doing an amazing job.
