Thank you!

We have had a great week in school again this week. There is such a happy and cheerful feeling across school and the children are showing such good attitudes towards their learning. Thank you so much to all parents and carers for your continued support, including reading with your children and helping with homework.
 
Thank you also for being so patient at the end of the day when you sometimes have to wait (in the rain!) to leave via the exit path. It’s great to see so many families working together to keep our school community safe.
 
Let’s hope we get to see some sunshine over the weekend. Keep safe and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday. 😊

Harvest Festival in Nursery

This week in nursery we have been celebrating harvest festival, for one of our activities we investigated fruit. We cut it in half, looked at it and talked about what we could see and smell. So we didn’t waste our fruit we used it to do some fruit printing, here are our harvest festival fruit printing pictures.

For other activities we have been looking at fruit and vegetables and identifying if they are fruits or vegetables.

Activities to try at home –

try counting fruit and vegetables that you have at home- remember to touch each one as you say the number.

Discussing if things are a fruit or vegetable.

Drawing fruit or vegetables – we would love to see your pictures in nursery!

Tasting fruit and vegetables in different forms- raw, cooked, baked etc.

Special Educational Needs Parent Voice

At St George’s, we believe parents of children with SEND play an essential part in supporting their children’s progress both in and out of school and we’d love to know what you think about our current SEND provision.

If you have a child with SEND, please could you take two minutes to fill out this questionnaire. Feedback is very important to us so that we can provide the best possible support for children with SEND.

SEND Parent Voice

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do get in touch with myself Holly Evans (SENDCo/Inclusion Lead) by calling the school office on 01952387750.

Christmas Card Design Competition

Our children have been asked by the St Georges Partnership Group to design a Christmas card this year. The winning design will be printed by the partnership for use within the community.
Children can do any type of Christmas design from a tree and gifts to Jesus lying in his manger. The design can be colour or black and white. Prizes for different age groups will be awarded for the winning design by the partnership.
Every child will bring home a sheet this week to design their card- it would be great to have lots of entries! Please can designs be handed in to class teachers by Friday 2nd October at the latest.

Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September

This year we will be supporting Maninplace (local homeless charity) again with donations from our Harvest Festival. Unfortunately we are unable to hold our Harvest Festival in Church this year but we will be celebrating the festival throughout the week in classrooms.

The items the charity are most in need of are tinned goods such as soups, beans, vegetables, and fruit. Frey Bentos pies are also popular. Packets of soup and pasta pots, tea, coffee, sugar, and long-life milk would also make good donations. The charity also need food that they can make up into street food bags for people that don’t have access to cooking facilities so biscuits, energy bars, high protein bars, anything they can unwrap and eat straight away.

We will place boxes by the main school gate on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September for any donations to be put in.

Many thanks for your support.
