Summer Reading Challenge - Central Library Event 

 

The Emma Carroll event was a great success. The library had over 80 people attend the event and it was wonderful to see so many young people all hanging on her every word! 

 

For younger readers, Plymouth Library have the author Claire Brown at Central on the morning of Saturday 27 April. She’ll be there from 11.30am to talk about, and read from, her book The Wonder Weeds. 

Sometimes it can be hard to decide whether or not they should go to school. Head over to our Facebook page for some helpful advice.

Dear parents and carers, 

 

Please visit the page below to read or listen to a PowerPoint presentation which explains the Phonics Screening Check that your child is required to complete in June this year. If you have any questions after reading or listening to the PowerPoint, please speak to your child's class teacher. 

 

This information has also been sent via email. If you have not received this email and your child is in Y2, it means your child does not have to retake the check. 

 

Many thanks, 

Miss McMillan

World Book Day (UK & Ireland) is on THURSDAY 7TH MARCH!

 

We will be celebrating this at Prince Rock! The Prince Rock Primary School school council were eager to contribute have decided on the following theme: dress as their favourite story book character or come in a fresh pair of PJs for lots of story time throughout the day.

 

On the day, we will have some community readers joining us at school, a special assembly and follow-up activities, a book sale and classes coming together to read and share their favourite stories.

 

Please see your emails for ideas about how to dress for the day!

 

Some exciting news – Emma Carroll is going to visit Central Library on 13th March 2024 from 4.30pm until 5.30pm.

Emma Carroll is an excellent children's author who has written a variety of books aimed at Y5 and Y6 children.

In Y6, we explored her work and read Letters from the Lighthouse as this was linked to WW2.

Take a Part have been back at Prince Rock and working with a team of children and parents to create a new book. They have been working with the superb author, Simon James.

ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY

The children will be taking part in a range of activities throughout the day. Please ask them what they have been up to!

Netball Event

 

Ethan, Mohammed, Liv, Mia, Macy, Keleigh and Eliya all took part in an exciting Netball event at Lipson alongside our friends in another LAT school, Salisbury Road. To begin with the students took part in some training drills led by the sports leaders. Throughout these drills, they all learned valuable techniques in the game of netball and when they should be using the techniques within the match. After the drills, the matches commenced in which everyone took part in playing new roles and positions on the court. Collaboration and team work were also a big part of the afternoon's events. All of the students performed very well and, most importantly, they had a smile on their faces the whole time!

Youth Speaks Competition 2024

 

On Monday, Eliya, Matei and Mia in Year 6 took part in this year's Youth Speaks event organised by the Rotary Club. They wrote, rehearsed and delivered an excellent speech about deforestation and wowed the judges with their wonderful oracy skills. They achieved a fabulous second place in the area round of the competition and were complimented on their performance. A huge well done to our Prince Rock orators!
