Year 1
Hello Everyone,
We had a great week and we have very much enjoyed experimenting with water in some interesting ways. We have looked at volume, weight, colour and made predictions.
This week we are being led by what the children's best interests have been in year 1. Some of the suggestions are: animals, sea creatures, painting, using scissors and making lots of mess and having lots of fun learning experiences.
Jennie Jigsaw
This week we will be continuing to explore our new friend the ‘Beat baby’ to the group. He helps the children to explore their emotions and helps them to express themselves.
Letters and Sounds
This week we will play games with musical instruments. The children will be leading the music ideas this week and I am sure we will play follow the leader during the week.
Notices
As the weather is starting to warm, please could all children bring sun hats to school. We do have a box of spares if needed. Please apply suncream to your child before school and tick your child's name off on the list which will be on the green table by the pre-school door. If you have ticked to supply your own suncream, please could you make sure either it is in their bags or a spare is kept at pre-school.
Predicted Extreme Heat
Thursday 14th July 2022
Dear Families,
The Met Office has extended an amber extreme heat warning for Sunday 17th July, Monday 18th July and Tuesday 19th July 2022, as temperatures will build this weekend and early next week for much of England and Wales.
The amber warning highlights likely adverse health effects for the public, not just limited to those most vulnerable to extreme heat.
To prepare for this, at The Prince of Wales School we will be following the government guidance on looking after children and those in early years settings during heatwaves, including the use of ventilation, keeping children hydrated, and avoiding vigorous physical activity. Teachers will be adapting their plans to reflect the heat warning.
To support our efforts, Monday and Tuesday will now be non-school uniform days at The Prince of Wales School. Instead of their usual school uniform, children should wear loose, light coloured clothing and sun hats with wide brims where possible.
As always at this time of the year, please ensure that sunscreen is applied generously before school and that you provide your child with plenty of water.
We thank you in advance for your support in keeping everyone safe at this time.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Gary Spracklen - Headteacher

Please can all play and learn library bags be bought back this week play. We are missing 2 yellow handle bags.
Your School Lottery are giving you the chance to win a £500 bicycle voucher.
We are still missing a jumper and a tshirt that are both clearly named so please do have a look and check you have the correct ones at home. We have two jumpers at preschool. We will pop them outside the rail outside the classroom so you can see them when you come to collect your child.
We can’t believe this year is coming to an end. We have loved watching your children progress and develop all of their skills. We are sure they will all settle very well into the year 2 classroom. We look forward to seeing them out in the outside play area during their day.
Look forward to seeing everyone this week!
Zoe,Chloe and Ebony
