Assembly on Friday...

This week we have been looking at captions in books. The children have looked through books about mini beasts and have created their own captions. 

In Maths we are carrying on with multiplication and division by using some of the pupil links and object such as unifix and numicon. 

The children have thought of some brilliant mathematical questions which we have either proved or disproved. 


We are still looking at how to be healthy, Mrs Roberts has been cooking some healthy snacks with the children. We have also been sketching plants in the school grounds. The children have sketched and painted some detailed pictures which they have then labelled. 

We hope to see you in our assembly on Friday.

What a fantastic trip!

Everyone in Year 1 would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone at the Watercress farm today, especially Tom (Jacks dad), James, Bob and the ladies from the Bat rehabilitation centre. We all had a brilliant time and have learnt so much.

Although it was very wet we all still participated. We split into groups and spoke about and got to bunch up some watercress. I hope that you all had a chance to sample some of the watercress today.

 The other group got to go with Bob to see how they control pests. This was fantastic and the children loved to see all of the birds.

After a spot of lunch we had a talk by two ladies from the Bat rehabilitation centre.

Please come to our assembly next Friday (24th) to find out more.

Jig, Real and Polka...

We have now started our new topic on Mini beasts.  The children have designed their own creatures using some of the features of minibeasts. If any of you see some minibeasts in your garden or when you are out we would love to hear about it in class.

In maths we have tried to strengthen our knowledge on division and multiplication.

On Friday we were lucky enough to have Callum's Mum and Dad play Irish music to the whole school. We would like to say a massive thank you, everybody was moving to the music and we learnt some interesting facts. For example, did you know that in Ireland when people come together and play music they don't follow any music sheets, they all just play along and make up their own songs. Can anyone remember any other facts that we found out?

Just a reminder that we are going to the Watercress farm on Tuesday. The children must have waterproofs and wellies in plastic bags, hopefully the weather may brighten up.

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.
