Facebook

It has come to my attention that some pupils in school have Facebook accounts. May I take this opportunity to remind you that the terms and conditions of using Facebook state that the user must be 13 years or over (Article 4.5). If your child does have an account then they have already broken the terms of the site and have lied about their age. As a school we will be contacting Facebook to get your child's account removed. Although we now have a school Facebook account for parental communication, we want to make it very clear that this is an adult site that is not suitable for children. Mr. Farrington

Dorchester Carnival

This years carnival has no theme, so we have chosen a theme for the Prince of Wales School as the Olympics!  A great chance to dress up as an Olympic athlete!  The carnival is on Saturday the 16th June.  If you would like to be involved, to help or further information, please contact Mrs Bernard or Mrs Scott.

Confident Caterpillars

In the next 2 weeks we will be thinking about being confident caterpillars in our PSE time.
This can be a difficult word to understand and relate to oursleves. I will be talking about what confidence means? What words describe it? How do we behave when we feel confident? How do I feel when I am not feeling confident?  
Thorny issues when you are 4 and 5 years old!!

Ultimately I would like the children to come away from this mini theme with an idea of  an  "I can do  attitude". "Mistakes are ok they help me learn attitude" and an  "I can ask for help attitude"
Perhaps you can come up with some words or pictures to bring in.
I have great  one of a cat staring into a mirror and seeing a lion.
What does your child think confidence is all about? How do they feel confident? Or not?
Start the debate in your house today!
Here's a thought.          Life isn't about finding yourself.
                                     Life is about creating yourself.
Mrs Birbeck

REMINDER - Tesco Vouchers

Our school needs your help to collect Tesco schools vouchers! Vouchers collected in previous years have exceeded 20,000 and have helped us to obtain some exciting resources. This year we are looking to set a school record and collect more vouchers than ever before! Please try to collect as many vouchers as you can and do not be afraid to ask your friends, neighbours, work colleagues for their vouchers as well. Many people who do not have children simply discard these vouchers and we could make valuable use of them. Collecting boxes are by the school office. Please bring in your vouchers on or before 01/06/12.
