Penguin on holiday

This week, we have been looking at the book ‘Penguin on Holiday’ by Salina Yoon. We used the VR headsets to pretend to be the crab and go and visit some penguins. We also pretended to be a penguin visiting a beach for the first time. Using the headsets gave the children a memorable experience that they won’t forget.

Takeover Assembly!

Over Hall Community School: School Council

Today the school councillors took over the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 assemblies! They introduced themselves and explained their very important role in school so that all of the children knew who to approach should they have any ideas for school improvement.

After that, Gillian Denning from Stronger and Safer Communities talked to us about a problem in the local community (dog mess) and the importance of cleaning up after your dog! Then she introduced a competition which involves the children designing their own ‘poo posters’. This is not mandatory but we are encouraging as many children as possible to take part!

The deadline for this competition is Monday 13th February. Can all entries please be given to Miss Bibi or Mrs Morris (School Council leads). The entries will be judged by Gillian and the school councillors and the chosen designs will be put up around the local area.

Good Luck!

Lunar New Year

This week, the children have been taking part in lots of activities surrounding Lunar New Year. Today we had a chance to see how stir fry is made and try some ourselves. We were really impressed by all of the children’s attitude to trying new things! One restaurant customer gave the stir fry a 13 out of 10 and commented, ” I am going to eat this everyday. It is delicious!”

Story teller

Today we all had a super session with a story teller Peter Chand. He told us a story about how the elephant went from having a ‘shiny little button nose’ to the big grey trunk we now see. The children behaved impeccably and loved the session.

Storytelling Week

National Storytelling Week 2023 Activities | National Literacy Trust | National Literacy Trust

This week at St George’s, we will be celebrating Storytelling Week! This event invites children to enjoy stories both old and new, to use as inspiration for the most classical form of entertainment: the telling of stories!

The children will take part in various activities throughout the week which will take them on a journey to become confident storytellers with a focus on developing oracy skills. Each class will buddy up with a different year group and perform a story/poem by the end of the week.

We have also invited Peter Chand into our school who is a renowned storyteller and well known for his powerful, evocative and moving stories. He will lead assemblies and deliver workshops to every year group!

Webinar Wednesday - The Creatives' Guide to Marketing with Peter Chand - Beyond the Border

Stay tuned for photos of this fantastic event!
