Snowmen!

What lovely snowmen the Reception made today in their performance of The Sleepy Shepherd! If you haven't seen our nativity play yet, we hope to see you on either Wednesday or Thursday, both shows starting at 10.10am.

Hanukkah

On Wednesday Mr Farrington will be leading some activities about the Jewish Festival of Light. The children will be making a Happy Hanukkah card, cooking potato latkes, playing a game with a dreidel and will be learning the story behind the festival.

Divali

The children enjoyed our India day last Friday. The children learned about the importance water by cooking rice, washing pots and pans and saris and digging irrigation ditches. In the afternoon the children made music with Indian intruments, tasted Indian snacks, made diva lamps, played with Ramayana dolls and made some chalk stencil pictures. Finally, we made a Rangoli welcome pattern outside the door which we hope you have enjoyed!

POWSA Christmas fair this Friday afternoon!

We are desperate for volunteers to help at the fair this Friday! Please let us know if you can help at any time during the afternoon to help setup or after school for running a stall. There is a form on the white board by the school office or you could email us to let us know - powsa@hotmail.co.uk

Divali and Hannukah

On Friday, Mr Farrington will be helping Reception learn about the Hindu Festival of Light, Divali.

Next week, Reception will be learning about Hannukah, the Jewish Festival of Light.

 

Indian water morning with Mr Farrington

On Friday Reception will be learning about the importance of water: for cooking, for washing, for growing vegetables. We shall be looking at photos of Indian people using water and doing some fun, practical activities which could be rather messy! So please send your child to school with a change of clothes and if your child does not have wellies in school, please send some in!

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)
