• The Little Red Hen
• The Gingerbread Man
• The Enormous Pumpkin
• Rumpelstiltskin

There are many more to choose from! 😊

BOOK DONATION

We are always looking to improve our school library so that the children have a range of wonderful books to read. So, we are holding a book donation from Monday 27^th February. If you have any books that you would like to donate to school, please pass these onto your child’s class teacher and we can add them to our classroom and school libraries. Thank you in advance for any contributions.

BOOKMARK COMPETITION

We are completing a design your own bookmark competition! The templates will be sent home on Friday 24^th February! The winner will receive their very own book to keep and share with you at home!

ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY

During World Book Day, the children will be completing free writing linked to Goldilocks, sharing stories with children from other classes, completing activities to promote a love of reading and taking part in live World Book Day activities.

As Safer Internet Day approaches, we would like to share this useful video with you.

If you are baking for our charity bake sale this Friday 3rd February, please do not include any nuts in the recipe as we are a nut free school. This also applies to shop bought bakes. Please check labels carefully to ensure no nuts. Thank you!

On Wednesday 1st February, Prince Rock will be partially closed. Please see the email which has been sent to all parents/carers. This will provide further information. 

We are proud to be supporting the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. This week, school council members will be selling paper poppies and a selection of other items to raise money for this special cause. Children may bring 50p-£1 in a named envelope, to be given to their teacher in the morning. 

Please find a link to Network Rail. They are working with primary schools in the UK to educate children about the importance of safety near railways.

Fundraising plan: Summer Term 2022

At Prince Rock we value to opportunity to help others less fortunate than ourselves locally, nationally and internationally. With that in mind, and with the help of the School Council, we have planned which charities we will support this term up until the end of the school year to ensure that our fundraising campaigns are spread out and so you know in well in advance how you can support these worthy charities. As always, any donation however small is welcomed, though if you are unable to donate please do not worry!

    

Thank you for your continued generous support!

Dear Parents, 

 

School will be closed on Thursday 5th May due to the local elections. There will be online learning for the children through Microsoft Teams.
