Snow day!

We had so much fun last Thursday in the snow. Mrs Croft had the brilliant idea of bringing it into school on tuff spots so everyone could have a play in it without getting wet and cold outside. Here are some photos of the brilliant fun we all had!

Path clearing

On Thursday afternoon, a team of fantastic volunteers demonstrated our school value of responsibility by clearing a path so that the Reception children could get out of school safely. We used spades to scrape away the snow and then salted the path to melt the ice. They followed instructions well and we were all very warm by the time the task had been completed.

Music

This afternoon, we used a Bluetooth speaker to have some music outside. Roy enjoyed playing Ghanaian music for his friends and talking about what he likes to listen to at home. He taught us some lyrics and we sang and danced along.

World Book Day 2023

Today we celebrated World Book Day!

It was brilliant to see the children all dressed up as their favourite book characters and wearing their comfy pyjamas. The children spent the day listening to stories, reading and talking about books.

As part of the day, a member of SLT (Senior Leadership Team) visited each class to read a story and each class took part in some buddy reading with a different year group. Here are some pictures!

 

   

Competition Time!

St George’s Word Book Day Competition Time!
Children in all year groups are asked to listen to Mrs Sixsmith read this story called ‘Tell Me a Dragon’ by Jackie Morris. Year 4 and 5 have already heard her read it today in school.

She would love as many children as possible (in all year groups) to then write about and/or create their own dragon. They can draw, paint, sculpt, use lego…whatever they like!
All children taking part will get a dragon certificate to say well done and there will be prizes for the most impressive dragon designs/descriptions. By listening to this recording of the story, the children may pick up some helpful ideas!
All completed dragons/written descriptions need to be in school by Monday 20th March please. They can be handed in at the office or to class teachers. Make sure any entries have your child’s name and class on it please.

Tricky word song

For the last 2 weeks we have had the phase 3 tricky words song as our going home song as lots of children are finding remembering these difficult.

Can you sing this at home with your child to help them remember the tricky words. Thank you.

Days of the week

This week we have been focussing on length and time in our maths lessons. Our maths song of the week has been the days of the week song. Have a listen together.
