Classroom in the Clouds Nepal

Mrs Sixsmith works with a charity (Classrooms in the Clouds Nepal) that helps to build earthquake safe schools in remote areas of the Himalayan mountains. The charity also helps to fund female teachers and train them to improve the education for Nepali children. She has been to visit all St George’s Y3 and Y4 classrooms this term to show photos of her trips to Nepal and to tell our pupils all about life there. Mrs Sixsmith will visit other classes throughout the year.
We have been asked to send a short ‘Happy Diwali’ message to the children in Nepali villages who are supported by Classrooms in the Clouds. Hopefully they will then send us a happy Christmas message back in a few weeks.
We have posted the video for you to enjoy and we have had to explain to our Nepali friends that our school uniform doesn’t usually look like this! 😊

St Georges Partnership Christmas Cards

Well done to Riley for winning the Christmas card competition. The card is being sold in our school office on behalf of the St Georges Partnership for £1 each. Any profits from the sale of the card will be split between our school and the St Georges Partnership. If you would like one, please could you email the school office on admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. Thank you.

Parents to wear masks please

Telford and Wrekin are asking for all parents entering the school site to now wear a mask at drop off and collection. We totally support this as it will be an extra measure to keep our school community safe. Please watch this short video for more information.
 
Please note, we cannot enforce this but we ask you to PLEASE help us in this matter. Thank you.
 

Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day (16th November)

The week beginning  16th November 2020 is Anti-Bullying week at school. Throughout the week, we will be focussing on the issue of bullying, the impact it can have and looking at ways in which we can stop it happening.

On Monday 16th November, along with the Anti-Bullying Alliance and many other schools around the country, we will be holding an ‘Odd Socks’ day in school to remind ourselves that we are all individuals and we are unique. We are hoping to have lots of fun celebrating our differences but how together we can unite to stop bullying.

Children still need to wear school uniform on the day please and they do not need to bring in a donation.

Children in Need

Next week we will be celebrating Children in Need all week with a special focus on our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing as well as physical health. Children will be taking part in various activities and we will be having a mufti day on Friday 13th November. Children can dress up, wear onesies, come in their own clothes- whatever they fancy! Children are asked to bring in a donation for children in Need if they can but please do not feel under pressure to do this- we know that many families are finding things financially tough at the moment. If your child is able to bring in a donation on Friday 13th, they can give it to staff in their year group when they get to school that day. 😊

Emailing School

Morning everyone,

Please can we ask if you are emailing school can you state in your email who you are, who your child/ren are and which years groups they are in? This is to make it easier and quicker for us to respond accurately to any queries you may have. Many thanks.

 

 

Y5 Bubble Closure

Unfortunately a parent of a Y5 pupil has informed us today of a positive Covid test. Fortunately the child is doing well which is very positive news.  

We have texted all Y5 parents already this morning which will be followed by an emailed letter today. All Y5 children MUST now isolate. We will confirm the dates of isolation and return to school for Y5 pupils in the emailed letter.  

Siblings and families of Y5 pupils do not need to isolate.  

Please direct any questions to the admin email address which is being checked daily.

Thank you for your ongoing support. As you can imagine, this is a difficult situation which we are working through with the support of Telford and Wrekin’s Health Protection Hub.
