FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT YEAR 2PS and 6GP WELL DONE. EVERY LESSON COUNTS!

All children received a letter last week about local walks and visits. This means we are able
to take the children out and about in our local area. If you haven't signed this and
returned it to school, please do so asap. Thank you. 

Please click here for a shortcut to the photographs from the day. 

 

There are some super images of children from Foundation. Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 competing in both track and field events. 

 

Well done to all of the children for their fantastic effort. 

Local youth dance groups have collaborated to create a performance at our school. 

 

This is a free event and should be a super opportunity to see some talented young dancers. 

 

It will take place on Thursday 18th June at 5.00pm. It will be taking place in the lower school hall. 

 

Again, this is a free event. Please come to the school office and you will be shown through to the lower hall. 

 

We look forward to seeing you there!

It is nearly time for Sports Day.  Here is some key information for new parents and a        reminder for everyone about what will happen on the day.

 

Where is it held?- Tothill Playing Fields (By Lanhydrock Road)

 

What time does it start? Arrive at 9.15 or walk down from school with your child and their class. (If you are planning on walking down with the class, please let your child's teacher know)

 

What happens on the day? The children all sit with their classes.

 

Parents can watch the races from the side of the tracks, opposite from the classes sitting on the mats. We would ask that you stay on one side of the tracks so that it is easy for the children to line up. Parents can also watch the field events and move around following their child.

 

We all have lunch on the field. You can take your child home after lunch—Please let your child’s teacher know they are going home so they can sign them off of the register.

The Friends’ Group will be selling pasties, drinks and strawberries if you are feeling hungry! Please don’t buy them for your children during the races/activities.

 

What will my child do? Every child takes part in the running race. Every child then does one other race (sack or bat & beanbag).

 

Every child also takes part in the field events (throwing, jumping, catching etc.)

 

What about lunch and snacks? After the results of all of the races (KS1 and KS2),  the children  are able to have a picnic lunch with you on the playing field. You can provide a packed lunch, or if you have free school meals, we will bring a lunch for your child.

 

What do I need to provide? A P.E kit with trainers/plimsolls (check they fit), a water   bottle and a spare if it is going to be hot. Put suncream onto your child before they come to school if the sun is shining. A hat. A jumper.  A packed lunch if you aren't in receipt of free school meals.

 

Sports Day is always a wonderful event at Prince Rock, the children love it and  have a      fantastic day. We are hoping for nice weather, so fingers crossed,  we look forward to    seeing you all there.

 

 

 

 

 

Friends Group Events

 

We would like to welcome back two members of staff who we haven’t seen in school for a few   months and we are so delighted to have them both back. Mrs Potter has returned from maternity leave and is already back teaching in Year 6 alongside Miss Brake, Miss Gill and Miss Brimacombe. Mrs Pitt returns on Tuesday and will be teaching in Year 4.

 

We would like to say another thank you to Miss Down for teaching Year 4 in Mrs Pitt’s absence and we look forward to seeing her again in September.

Have a good Bank Holiday weekend.

Simon Spry—Headteacher

We've done it again!

 

Last week we received the fantastic news that once again we’ve been shortlisted for the TES Schools Awards. Last year we were unlucky to not win the ‘Primary School of the Year’ award. This year we have been shortlisted for the ‘International with Modern Foreign Language’ award. This amazing achievement reflects our super efforts in ensuring  our children ‘better understand the increasingly complex global environment they and their families will have to work and interact with’. This quote is from the wonderful supporting letter we received from Jill Bailey who is Plymouth City Council’s Leadership Associate for International Education. Here are some other quotes that highlight the different opportunities and experiences your child has which has led to our entry into this competition.

 

‘The school is alive with colourful, exciting and celebratory display work illustrating all aspects of school life and the wider world’. ‘The school is full of enthusiastic children learning about different countries and cultures often from their own peers and families.’ We are very excited to have been shortlisted and will let you know the results of the award ceremony which takes place in London on June 19th.

 

Please see our weekly newsletter which is available online, via our Facebook page and in your child's book bag for a list of all of the wonderful winners. 

 

Well done to all of the winners, what a fantastic achievement! 

One of our pupils is taking part in a wonderful project called 'Education Through Expeditions'. Kacey has arrived safely in Arctic Finland today and is going to be spending a week in Inari!
