Nursery meet the chicks!
Nursery were thrilled to meet the chicks this week, they all sat beautifully and stayed brilliantly calm around them. The children loved asking ‘mother hen, Mrs Bridgewater’ questions about the chicks and learning about their life cycle, well done nursery!
Earth Day in Year 6 🌍
April 22nd was Earth Day. 🌍 In Year 6, we learned about the importance of looking after our planet and discussed this year’s theme of, ‘ Planet vs Plastics’. We created posters and wrote pledges of how we will ‘invest in our planet’ for the future.
Y5 Incredible Homework- River Severn Project
Well done to everyone who went above and beyond with this week’s homework project all about the River Severn. We have received a variety of work from Powerpoints and models to poems and paintings. Here are just a few examples:
Year 1 – Types Of Trees 🌳
As Scientists, our Year 1 children have been learning about evergreen and deciduous trees. We went on a walk around the school playgrounds to find out which different types of trees we have here at St George’s.
Nursery celebrate Saint George’s day!
Nursery loved celebrating Saint George’s day on Tuesday. In the morning they went on a parade around the field, learned all about Saint George and the dragon and rein-acted the story using the castle, kindly brought in by Mrs Porter! In the afternoon we coloured our own dragons and learned some of the words to a catchy Saint George song!

We have been artists and celebrated World Art Day this week. All the children took part in a drawing assembly and completed their artwork in class afterwards.
Y5 Limericks ✍️
This week we have been writing limericks as part of our poetry unit.
Read some of our limericks below:
There once was a boy with a black dress
That cleans every hotel room of their mess
He brings food every morning
He was tired and yawning
He wished he was less and less.
By Benjamin
There once was a furious cat
He was angry and sat on the mat
The cat was so vicious
But very ambitious
And ate too much food and got fat.
By Oscar
There once was an old grumpy man
Who loved to get a nice tan
He was reading a book
Then smelled something to cook
So he ate all the food from the pan.
By Elizabeth
Reception Chick update day 2
We were all so excited to see two more chicks had hatched overnight last night. These were a boy and a girl which are now in the brooder box with their friends who were born yesterday. Some of the children were also lucky to watch two more boy chicks hatch today! These two are getting all warm and fluffy in the incubator and we will move them to be with their friends in the brooder box tomorrow. Hope you like the photos. We can’t wait to share more photos of the chicks with you all as they get bigger! The children have all been thinking of names for the chicks and we will vote on these tomorrow in RC and RM. RB have already voted and their chicks are Lola and Zachary!
Year 5 Micro:bit club
We had a fantastic start to our coding club tonight with some Micro:bit exploration. The children learnt how to turn them on, connect them to the laptops and then write simple code to change the display and make them play music. We’re already excited to see what we can learn next week.
Special Prayer
Lillian and Elizabeth in Y5 have written this special prayer to use in school.
