Reading at Home Awards from Mrs Sixsmith
Well done to all the children in Years 1-4 who gained a Head Teacher’s Award this week for regularly reading at home. There were so many that Mrs Sixsmith has almost run out of stickers and needs to order some more! She was really impressed with the children’s hard work and how often they are reading. She is looking forward to handing out lots more for children in Years 5 and 6 next week when she looks at their reading diaries. 
African Dance Workshops
We had 2 days of fantastic African dance workshops led by Zamble African Dance Company this week. All children in Years 1-6 took part with such great attitudes and lots of GREAT style!!
Excellence in Music Provision Award
We are very happy to have gained our silver Excellence in Music Provision Award today. Thank you to all staff, especially our music leaders, for providing the children with a wide range of quality music teaching and experiences. Thank you to Sam Newth from Telford and Wrekin Music Service for coming into school to give us our certificate. We are already working towards the gold award!
Primary Science Quality Mark
We are thrilled to announce we have been awarded our Primary Science Quality Mark which recognises and celebrates how well science is taught at St George’s. Well done to all the staff for showing such enthusiasm for science, and especially to our science leaders for making science such an enjoyable subject.
Year 4 PSHEE Pedestrian Training
4H completed their pedestrian training this week. The day includes classroom learning sessions and a short walk outside. Our instructor Diane was really impressed with the children’s behaviour and attitude to learning. They all passed with flying colours! We are sure that 4P and 4W will be just as successful, when they take part later in the week.
Year 1 Gymnastics
As sportspeople, our Year 1 children were able to perform the balances which they have been practising on the apparatus.

Our Year 3.4 boys’ football team played in the Shropshire Schools County Cup against Grange Park on Tuesday night. The team won their game and have progressed to the next round of the competition.
RE in year three
This half term, we have been looking at Diwali. The children have learned about the celebration and why it is special. This week, the children have made their own Diya, this is a lamp which represents light over darkness and good overcoming evil.
Year 2 Black History Month
This week we listened to the story of Rosa Parks. We understood how Rosa Parks fought discrimination. We created our own pictures of her and added words to describe her and her actions.
