Sunday 7th June 2020

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well after what has been another week of change. Whether your child is following the virtual school program or has returned to school, you have a lot to be proud of.

This week's learning

Last week we started our new topic (The Great Fire of London) which was launched brilliantly by Treehouse theatre company on Thursday. We will continue to explore what life was like in the 17th Century before the Great Fire of London this week. Both year 1 kingdoms will follow the work set in this week's Prezi presentation so please be reassured that if your child is at home or is part time you will not be missing out.
I am very excited that this week we have two star year 1 contributors to our Prezi. One of them is sharing their fire of London learning on Tuesday and one is setting a task for us to follow on Friday - so please look out for them.
I am keen to find ways to connect the children at home and in each kingdom so if your child would like to share their work on the Prezi or even set us a challenge please email me c.browne@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk and I will be delighted to include them.         

Spellings

Apologies for the delay in uploading the spellings. Here are the spellings for week 1 and for week 2. 

Week 1: dolphin, alphabet, phonics, elephant, when, where, which, wheel, while, white. 

Week 2: unhappy, undo, unload, unfair, unlock, unwrap, unzip, unzip, untidy, unwell, unkind. 

RWI & Library books

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to send RWI or library books home in order to limit the transference and possible cross contamination between households. Dorset library have a ebooks and audiobooks service that you may find useful.   

Children that have returned to school

Mr Macbean and myself have been very impressed with how the children that returned to school this week have adapted to the changes. The children were excited to be back in school although they were all noticeably very tired by the end of each day! 

We will continue to monitor and support the children's emotional wellbeing but if there are any concerns you have or any issues that should arise please talk to the staff in the Exploration and Inspired Kingdoms in the morning or email myself or Mr MacBean dirtectly c.browne@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk or d.macbean@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk 

Things to bring into school

- please could all children return their Power Maths 1C books if they haven't already.   
- Please ensure that children bring in a coat or protective jumper. We try to get the children outside as often as possible.
- Should the sun return please also provide a hat and either apply or supply suncream.

As ever please get in touch if we can help you in any way or if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.

Lots of love and virtual hugs,
Ms Browne, Mr MacBean, Miss Street & Mrs Bernard. xxxx
