Dear Parents/Carers, Governors and Friends, Religious Education features in our year group pages this week.

In their future, our pupils will all need to work and live alongside people from other religions, so it’s essential that they know enough about other religions to do this successfully. In tackling difficult questions, it provides pupils with insight that can work to challenge stereotypes, promote cohesion, and tackle extremism.

TRANSCRIPT

Dear Parents/Carers, Governors and Friends,

Religious Education features in our year group pages this week. It has never been more relevant or engaging as religion and religious

issues are in the news every day. RE is taught as an academic subject where pupils are finding out about what different people

believe and how they practise their religion. In their future, our pupils will all need to work and live alongside people from other

religions, so it’s essential that they know enough about other religions to do this successfully.

In tackling difficult questions, it provides pupils with insight that can work to challenge stereotypes, promote cohesion, and tackle

extremism. RE does important work encouraging young people to value themselves and the communities within which they live.

In RE, our teachers won’t try to change children’s beliefs or force them to be religious.

Have you booked your 10 minutes consultation with your child’s class teacher on 6th May: powenfield.schoolcloud.co.uk/ ?

The deadline is today at 6pm.

Join us with our first Climate Action target: ‘To throwaway waste using the normal and recycling bins inside and outside the school.’

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend,

Mr Jan M Bless – Headteacher

New: POWCast

Mr Taylor introduces POWCast, a podcast by pupils who give their opinion on a Big Question. In this first episode, Arios, Kerem and

Blessing give their opinion about the best football player, Messi or Ronaldo? POWCast Episode 1 - Who is the best player - YouTube

Mindfulness

Next week every child in school will be taking part in a mindfulness session. These have been booked in recognition of the impact

that lockdown has had on the children at our school.

We recognise that mindfulness is an important tool in promoting mental health and we hope that all children take away positives

they can use to support them in school and at home.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in

Number Day on Friday 7th May 2021.

Number Day is a great way to make maths fun and bring about a

positive, ‘can-do’ attitude towards it.

During the day, classes will take part in fun, engaging maths

activities such as games, puzzles, scavenger hunts, number trails,

investigations and sharing maths through story. We will also be

taking part in Dress up for Digits.

Pupils are asked to wear an item of clothing with a number on it or

get even more creative by dressing in a maths or numbers theme

– have a look at the pictures below for ideas.

To help raise money for the NSPCC, we are asking for a suggested

donation of £1, and we’d love everyone in the school to take

part in this special event.

We’re really looking forward to all the fun of

Number Day, and we really appreciate your support.

All the money we raise will make an enormous

difference to children today.

Kind Regards,

Miss Thomas – Maths Lead

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our in-school mental health support service,

Place2Be, has just launched Parenting

Smart, a new site for parents and carers.

Parenting Smart offers practical advice on

supporting your child and managing

behaviour, with short articles and videos on a

range of topics such as transition to

secondary school, meltdowns, and sleep

difficulties.

To learn more, see the flyer on the left, or go

to Place2Be: Parenting Smart: Articles

If you have any questions, please Jonathan

We learned about their values of having a kind

mouth, kind hands and a kind body. We worked

in pairs to match the values to the body parts.

We learned how Alevis

prepare for a Cem

ceremony and what they do.

We listened to Saz music and considered how

it made us feel happy and calm.

In RE, Year 1 learned about Alevism and the Cem ceremony

We prepared questions about

what we wanted to ask our

visitor from the Alevi

community. He also showed

us some artefacts and

someone played Saz music.

We had fun!

We learned how they

help each other solve

problems, so we

thought about how

we could do the same

for each other.

We shared some fruit and reflected on how

grateful we were for the all that we have.

RE: Year 2 – Islam

We have been learning more about the Muslim faith, especially about the meaning of Ramadan and Id-ul-Fitr.

One of our colleagues, Mrs Teke was our guest speaker and she introduced herself by saying, “Id Mubarak, I am a

Muslim and I am going to tell you a few things about Islam and then you can ask me questions.” Mrs Teke

reiterated the children’s learning this week, talking about Muslim identity, Ramadan, and Id-ul-Fitr linking to

compassion, generosity, understanding and how these link to our school values and British Values.

Do Muslims

sometimes

stop fasting? Why do

Muslims

fast?

Why do Muslims

read the Qur’an

backwards?

I read in the

Qur’an “Jesus is

a prophet of

Allah,” is that

true?

Prince of Wales School

Food Bank

Open on Tuesday and Friday

Contact the school office and ask

for Mrs. Dunlea or Mrs. Rees

We know that the

Torah holds the

Jewish laws, which

all are written in

Hebrew by hand.

We discussed our Home-School

Agreement and the school rules.

We concluded that some rules

are harder to follow than

others.

In DGR, we read extracts

from Anne Frank’s

diary and found out

how she became a

famous writer.

We learnt about the story

of Joseph and his brothers,

which is an example to the

Jewish people of how to

remain good and true.

Important information regarding the EU Settlement Scheme

The deadline for the EU Settlement Scheme is 30 June 2021, and CAE hopes to offer assistance and reassurance for those

completing EUSS applications.

This scheme applies to EU, EEA and Swiss citizens currently living in the UK. Completing the application is crucial for those

who wish to continue to live, work and study in the UK. Failing to apply for the scheme before the deadline could have

serious consequences, including losing entitlement to public services, such as healthcare and schools, entitlement to public

funds and pensions and British citizenship.

Year 6 have been learning

about Hinduism and the

Mandir.

The children learned

about the Hindu belief

that one god can take

many forms.

One glass of water contains

salt. The children were

unable to tell which one

just by looking. This

represents belief in the

gods despite not being able

to see them.

Looking at pictures of the

gods, children used their

inference skills to think

about what each god

represented.

Year 6 took a

virtual tour of the

Mandir. They took

notes on things

you would see and

hear inside and

outside of the

Mandir and how

these reflect

Hindu beliefs.
