Telford & Wrekin’s ‘Our Family Challenge’

Our Family Challenge

Telford and Wrekin have launched the above challenge. Have a look at the suggested activities above and see how many of them you can complete during June. We would then like you to post any photos and videos of your family completing the various challenges onto our school’s Facebook page using the hashtag #ourfamilychallenge

Food Bank Update

Update on our Food Bank
 
Thank you so much to everyone who has been able to support us to run the food bank during lock-down. We have been able to support over 25 families each week during this difficult time due to generous donations from individual families, organisations and local businesses. Thank you- we could not have done this without your help!
 
Our plan is to begin to wind down the food bank to finish the week beginning 13th July. Anything food items remaining at school that week will be donated to another local food bank.
 
We will help the families who have been using our food bank by giving them details of more sustainable food banks and organisations that may be able to offer them a range of services they need to help them get back on track.

Good morning

Good morning everyone.

I hope you’re well.

If you’re finding it a bit tricky at the moment to get your child motivated, there are some ideas below for things you are probably all already doing that you don’t realise count as learning.

They are taken from the website Worcester Speech and Language which has lots of hints and tips on ways to help your child if they are finding the current situation difficult.

As always, feel free to email us at nurseryteam@stgeorgesschool.org.uk if you need any help/advice or just want to show us what the children have been up to-we’re missing them all a lot.

Everyday activities that count as learning

WE WON!

A few weeks ago, we sent out a request asking for our school’s community to nominate our school to win a Storytelling Chair through ‘The School Playground Company’s’ Facebook page. We are delighted to announce that we WON!

Thank you so much to everyone who nominated us, we saw that some people even put some very complimentary comments alongside our nomination which didn’t go unnoticed. What a week for St George’s C of E Primary School! We are looking forward to our large delivery soon!

Thank you for your support.

Children coming into school

Hi Everyone,

If your child is coming into school, please could you also ensure that your child has clothes that will keep them warm in the classrooms in all weathers. Following guidance, we have to keep the doors and windows open to ventilate rooms and it can be quite cool in some of the rooms, especially in the mornings. We need the beautiful sunshine to come back!

Thank you.

Telford and Wrekin Art Competition for World Environment Day

Hi everyone! We hope you are all safe and well. We have received this message into school today from Telford and Wrekin Council and we’d love our school to get involved!

‘We’re celebrating World Environment Day this weekend with an art competition open to anyone under 11. We thought that due to the current circumstances in schools this might be the perfect opportunity to get the kids outside and thinking about the local area?

We want to see paintings, drawings, collages and tree rubbings! Whatever it is, it just needs to celebrate the abundance of nature and wildlife we have in the borough.

We would love to share the entries on our social media accounts too – so please let us know if that’s possible?

All entries will be in with a chance of winning a post lockdown guided tour of the beautiful Lightmoor Nature Reserve with their family.

The competition is open to children aged 11 and under, living in the borough.

Please send any artwork to us at mywildtelford@telford.gov.uk by the end of Monday 8 June.’

We have emailed all St George’s families this afternoon with a printable template for the competition which you might find helpful but you can use anything you like. If you do take part, please share your pictures with us too as well as sending it to the official entry email address above. Thank you.
