Welcome to Reception at St George’s School

We are so excited to see you all again after the summer holidays. We hope you have all had a lovely break and are eager to start your school journey with us.

Just a reminder we will be doing a staggered start and shorter day on your child’s first day which is Wednesday 6th September.

Please see below for your classes start and finish times. To help our organisation, please stick to these times as closely as possible. Please come through the gate you came in through on the induction morning.

RC – 9-1.30pm

RB – 9.10 – 1.40pm

RM – 9.20 – 1.50pm

Children will be having a school lunch on this day or if you would rather please send a lunch box, thank you. Just a reminder that in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 ALL children are entitled to a free school lunch.

As we are predicted hot weather for the rest of the week, could you please ensure your child comes to school with sun cream already applied and that they bring a sun hat and water bottle.

We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces on Wednesday morning.

Butterflies

Today was a bittersweet day. We said goodbye to our butterflies as they have undergone their big change and are ready to explore the world.

The children have really enjoyed watching them grow and we all talked about how letting them be free was the best thing for them. We will all keep an eye out for them when we are having playtimes.

Sports day 2023

All the children really enjoyed taking part in our sports day this year! We were so impressed with their skills and everyone showed off what they could do. No matter where they came in the races, all the children were proud of each other and showed off their St George’s school values! Thank you parents/carers for all your support with PE kit changes and for ensuring the smooth running on the day.

Exotic Zoo

On Tuesday, we all went on our very first school trip. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed seeing and touching all the animals. The children were incredibly well behaved and did us all proud. It was a very enjoyable but tiring day!

Trip preparation

We have spent this week getting ready for our trip. We have looked at the route on google maps, used the road map, bus and bears to play ‘trips’ and we wrote a list of the things we would need.

Orienteering

We had a lovely day orienteering with the Year 6 children. We partnered up and used maps to direct us to find all the checkpoints which then spelled a word.

Fieldwork Week

It is fieldwork week in school.

Fieldwork is research or study that happens in the real world. We can observe and get data about people, the natural environment and cultures.

This year the theme is ‘Environment’. Everything physical on Earth is part of an environment. This can include living and non-living things.

People can make changes to the environment. Some can be good changes. Some might be harmful to living things.

Things to think about:

What is your favourite part of the school grounds?

What is your favourite part of around your home?

Is it a good environment for wildlife? If so / not why?

Is there much litter or pollution?

The children will be doing fieldwork activities this week.
