Emotional Wellbeing Displays

At St George’s, every classroom has an emotions board for the children to track how they are feeling. The children can move their names to the word/picture displaying how they are feeling in that moment. This enables the staff to support any children who may be sad or worried but may not want to come and approach an adult. Other emotions often displayed are happy, excited, poorly, annoyed. Every emotion board is unique to that class but with the same idea behind them.

See some of our emotions boards below:

Spelling and Phonics! ✏

This week in Year 2 we have started spelling and phonic groups. The children requiring additional practise with their reading will continue with phonic sessions. From next Friday (23rd September), they will also bring home a phonics book that matches the sounds they are learning in school. They will keep this book until the following Friday so that they can practise the sounds and develop their fluency.

The children not continuing with phonics will move on to the year 2 spelling programme. If your child is in one of the spelling groups, they will bring home spellings as part of their homework. Please support them with learning their words at home. They will be tested on these words on Friday.

Thanks for your support.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on: year2team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk.

The Greatest Show! 🌟🌟🌟

Wow! What an incredible performance by the Year 6 children last night in church!

You blew us away with your amazing singing, dancing and acting! ⭐🥰 What a talented bunch you are! A huge well done to you all! 👏👏👏

Not only that, but your attitude towards the production has been outstanding. You have worked so hard to put this show on – learning lines at home, giving 100% to each and every rehearsal, singing and dancing your hearts out, coming to the performance after school … the list goes on and on! And to top it all off, you had to adapt to a change of performance venue at the very last minute, which you all took in your stride!

We are so incredibly proud of you ❤ It has been a wonderful ending to a wonderful year ❤ Thank you for being such a fantastic Year Six! 🥰

Finally, a huge thank you again to parents and carers for your support throughout the year 🙏 🙏🙏 You have been truly amazing! 🥰

Here are a few pictures from the show last night! 😊
