Whole School Photo- 20th June

As you will know from the newsletter and dates for the diary, we are having a whole school giant photo taken on Thursday 20th June. The last one of these to be taken was way back in 2013 so this doesn’t happen very often!

ALL children will be included in this photo and need to be in school uniform, including having a green fleece, cardigan or jumper in school that day. The usual consent forms for photos does not apply to this photo so PLEASE INFORM THE SCHOOL OFFICE BY FRIDAY 14TH JUNE IF YOU DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE IN THE PHOTO.

The photo will be framed in school and parents/carers will also be able to purchase a copy.

Thank you!

Year 5/6 Online Safety Performance

Year 5 and 6 parents and carers- don’t forget to book your place to watch Snap Trap theatre performance in school on Friday this week with your child!

We have booked 2engage Theatre Company to come into school on Friday 14th June for Year 5 and 6. Each child in these year groups can have one parent/carer attend the performance too so please book your parent/carer place using ParentPay now. You do not need to book a place for your child as they will all watch the performance as part of our online safety curriculum. We have paid for the theatre company to come into school so there is no charge to you for this experience. The performance lasts 50-60 minutes.

Year 5’s performance starts at 1pm. Parents/carers who attend can take children home early at the end of this should you wish to.

Year 6’s performance starts at 2.15pm.

We would love for every child to have a parent/carer come and join them for this performance if possible so please do book a place. Thank you for your support.

Missing Books- Please can you help?

We are again missing LOADS of our very popular ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ books. We love that so many children are borrowing them but please can everyone have a look at home and in school bags so they can be returned for others to be able to read them too. We ask that the children only borrow them for one night and then pop them back on the shelves outside Mrs Sixsmith’s office the next day please. Thanks everyone!

Reading Focus Week/ Author Visit 📚❤

This week, we are celebrating ‘Reading Focus Week’ at St George’s! Throughout this week, the children will participate in various reading activities to promote a love for reading.

To kickstart the week, we invited Roy Bradshaw, a local author, to lead a Key Stage One assembly. He showcased some of the books he had written and read ‘Barley’s Biscuits’ to us. Following the assembly, Roy conducted workshops for Years Two and Three. These workshops focused on his story ‘Konk the White Crocodile,’ and the children had the opportunity to create their own 2D and 3D models of the main character.

REMINDER

It is World Book Day is on Thursday, March 7th. The children can come to school dressed as a book character if they’d like, or they can wear their pyjamas. All children are welcome to bring their favourite book from home.
