This time of year at The Prince of Wales School is always extra special, we strive to create unique, rich learning experiences as well as opportunities to fully participate in the wider school community life. It was lovely to see so many Reception families at the Buttermarket christmas lantern and carol parade, our community choir sounded wonderful and it was very festive indeed, we hope you enjoyed being part of it.
Ofcourse, yesterday was an extra special surprise bringing a classic story to life for children of all ages. Following the dramatic Dickensian start to the day, we spent the morning mixed up across the school focussed on collaborative writing inspired by A Christmas Carol. This was a huge success and many staff members commented on how fantastic Reception were at participating and using their sounds to help them write!!!!!!!!!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hall who have both lead a demonstration Read Write Inc lesson at the level of their group to show the progression through the programme. I am sure you have appreciated the insight into how your child is being taught and the format of the lessons, also seeing how it links to their home learning. If you didn't get a chance to see the lesson, they are on the school facebook page.
This week winter has definitely hit our classroom where we have been thinking about snow, ice, freezing and melting, polar regions, polar animals, building moving sledges, building igloos, making snowmen both small and LARGE, counting ice cubes, making snow flakes and using the language of time with relation to The Snowman by Raymond Briggs as well as using the story to inspire writing and mark making. Brrrrrrrrrrr! Chilly!
It is truly wonderful to see so much inspired home learning and Wow moments coming in from writing, reading, drawing, model making, cake baking, measuring, story making, counting, recognising numbers around the house and outside...............keep it up! You are all so enthusiastic, curious and inspired to learn.
Thank you for your positivity and continued support,
Mrs. J and the "Shamaaaaazing" Reception Team!!!!!!!!
