Spelling shed update – 8th June!

Let’s have a little look how things stand after the weekend. I hope you have all managed to dodge the rain and you have had nice times with your families.

Not too much change in the whole school leader board over the weekend.

Set 1 year 5 are still top with set 3 in 2nd place. Set 2 year 3 have climbed 2 places to reach 3rd place. Set 1 year 4 are 4th and Set 2 year 5 are 5th. Well done to all these sets!

Let’s now look at the children who have contributed the most points to their team and reached the top 10 in the whole school leader board.

Oliver L (Y5)

Olly B (Y5)

Gracie B (Y3)

Layla C (Y4)

Mason (Y5)

Charlie (Y5)

Georgia (Y5)

Logan (Y5)

Oliver D (Y2)

Connor H (Y2)

An extra big well done to the two boys in year 2. What an achievement to be in the top 10 of the whole school!

Each day this week, I will be checking who has been playing lots but not quite making the leader board. Tomorrow, I will be celebrating children in Years 1 and 2.

Keep practising, super spellers!

WE WON!

A few weeks ago, we sent out a request asking for our school’s community to nominate our school to win a Storytelling Chair through ‘The School Playground Company’s’ Facebook page. We are delighted to announce that we WON!

Thank you so much to everyone who nominated us, we saw that some people even put some very complimentary comments alongside our nomination which didn’t go unnoticed. What a week for St George’s C of E Primary School! We are looking forward to our large delivery soon!

Thank you for your support.

Well-being Activity ❤

Ever wonder what’s going on inside your child’s head?

Watch the movie Inside Out to look at how emotions work together and use the Inside Out feelings journal to help your child express their feelings.

feelings-journal

Print out several copies of the inside out journal and leave them in a place that is accessible for your child. This way they can write an entry whenever they want!

Weekend Project 🛠✂

Pippety currently lives in a corner cupboard which is cluttered and crowded. He would prefer to live in the garden where there is lots of space and plenty of sunshine. ☀

Can you create him a new house using any materials that you can find at home? I have attached a few ideas to get you started. 🤔

Literacy Task

Good morning Year 1,

I hope you have enjoyed learning with Pippety Skycap this week. As your final task, I would like you to create another paragraph to add to the story.

You can re read the story here to recap what has already happened.

You will need to think about:

  • Where Pippety goes next and who he meets. 
  • The item he uses from his pocket.
  • How he tricks the new character.

Draw a picture of your idea and write a couple of sentences explaining what happens.

Use these sentences openers to get you started…

  1. Next he came to ….
  2. Pippety pulled out a ……… 

Don’t forget to include these things in your writing:   Bill Quay Marking & Feedback Policy

Please send your work into year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. We would love to read your additions to the story! 

Well-being Activity ❤

Have fun completing this  rainbow tracker by colouring a section of the rainbow each day to show how you are feeling. I have also included a blank version too so you can choose your own colours and emotions.

I wonder what it will look like when finished. Which mood will be the most popular mood for you? 🤔
