Skip2Bfit and Box2BFit

Our Olympic dreams fortnight launches on Monday 2nd July with a visit from John MacCormack, a highly motivational sportsman who will be putting all the children through their paces, developing their stamina and resilience through a variety of fitness activities.

We are the champions!

A team of six Year 4 boys and 1 Year boy won a soccer tournament at Charminster on Friday evening. They came top of their group with two wins and a draw and proceeded to win the semi final 2-0 and the final 5-0. Well done! A great start to our Olympic Fortnight of sporting activities!

FINAL Reminder - School Competition

Just a quick reminder that Mr. Farrington, Miss. Johnson and Mr. Spracklen would like to see some fantastic examples of ‘Home Learning’ captured in a photograph. We are thinking art projects, work on Mathletics, spelling practice, visits to museums, reading, having a discussion on SWGfL Merlin, doing some research and much more! The opportunities are endless and special attention will be given to those entries that think creatively. As a prize we hope to feature the best images on a newly designed home learning booklet that all pupils will be using in September. Therefore, by submitting your photographs to the competition you are agreeing that they can be used for this purpose. All competition entries should be sent by email to the school office (office@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk) no later than 3.30pm on Friday 6^th July, 2012. Any questions please see Mr. Spracklen or Miss.

Diamond Jubilee

A big thank you to everyone for helping to make our street party on 1st June to celebrate Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee such a success! Don't forget to buy your commemorative Jubilee Prince of Wales School mug for £3.50! Just a few left in the school office. Parents were so generous with providing food for the party that we had lots leftover! We made arrangements for this to be used by two local charities (The Dorchester Women's refuge and Church Street centre for the homeless) to help their Jubilee celebrations.

Reminder - Musical Soirèe

A quick reminder that the Prince of Wales Musical Soirèe is going to be taking place on Tuesday 12th June at 6pm in the Dorchester Middle School hall. Doors open at 5.45pm for a Drinks Reception that will include canapés created by each class as part of our Food for Life work. The purpose of the celebration is for all children to gain experience in performing in front of an audience and see the progress our children are making musically as they progress through the school and beyond. If you would like to join us for the celebration please speak to a member of the Office Team. Mr. Spracklen
