Nice to be back!

I’ve had a lovely first week back after my maternity leave. The children have actually remembered me (!?) and I’ve enjoyed visiting all classes, getting to know children who have since joined the school.

 Up to Christmas you will see me in school everyday (apart from Tuesday) and I will be working with all classes getting ready for The Prince of Wales School two Christmas performances!

 We are also holding Christmas Carols in the School Hall on Thursday 20^th December at 3pm, all are welcome. If you do play a musical instrument please bring along and join the parent/ staff group for the occasion!

 

My office is in the foyer so if you do wish to come and see me, please do!

 

Mrs Mewett (Deputy Head)

 

A plea to parents!

A plea to parents

On Thursday 20^th December at 3pm in the school hall the children invite you to join them to celebrate Christmas and sing carols. Last year it was very successful, particularly as the music was performed by our talented parents!

A couple of parents have offered their musical skills so far for this year; we have a pianist and a recorder player but would LOVE to have more parents playing. PLEASE share your talents and let Mrs Mewett know if you can come and play.

 

Thank you!

Just a reminder of how important it is that your child brings a bottle of water to school each day. Water is very important to the body and feeds our brains.

If your child needs to refill their bottle during the day they are able to do this at any time.

Please remember its not just when the suns out and its really hot,  your child needs to bring water to school each day

Thank you for your continued support

Bring your friends and family for a fantastically fun afternoon, the chance to get in the festive mood and help raise money for our fantastic school.

Assembly DVD

Thank you to those of you that have requested an Assembly DVD these will be avaliable on Friday.

Before School

Please could you ask your children to stay off the grass when it is wet, the children are aware that they are not allowed on wet grass during the school day and we would like to encourage this before school .

Thankyou

The children all had a fantastic trip to the Dorchester Library we enjoyed a tour of the building and sat and listened to some great stories.

The children are all bringing home an envelope from the library if your child hasnt yet joined the library and you wish to do so all the information your need is there for you.
