Key worker children-essential to book your place please

Current key worker families: As more children are now coming in to school as key workers, it is essential that you book your child in with us. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. Please email admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk to let us know you childcare requirements for weeks beginning 1st and 8^th June by tomorrow midday at the latest. Thank you.

New key worker families: If you are a key worker and your child is coming into school for the first time since lockdown, it is essential that you book a place for them by emailing admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. We are asking for you to email your childcare requirements by midday tomorrow for weeks beginning 1^st and 8^th June. Thank you.

From Monday 1st June, we will be organising the classrooms a bit differently for key worker children in light of the new risk assessment we have done following national and local new guidance. This will include a one way system for dropping off and collecting your child. We will email all key worker parents tomorrow with a detailed plan once we have final numbers of children who will be coming into school. The full Risk Assessment will be added to the school website later today.

Please note, at this stage school is only open to key worker children and vulnerable children. As soon as we know more, we will let other groups/year groups know a start date.

Thank you for your patience.

Literacy ✏😍✏

Hey! 😸

We hope you are enjoying the sunshine and staying safe. 😎🌞

Watch the video of the story ‘Sharing a Shell’ by Julia Donaldson.

Think about the phoneme ‘sh’. Use the worksheet to put all the things which begin with sh into the piggyback.

Things beginning with sh.

When you have done that can you have a go at labelling the items.

If you want to challenge yourself…can you put each word into a sentence? Remember that capital letter and full stop.

Making Fairy Houses👸🏻🔮

Today made fairy houses out of recycled plant pots.

First we designed them with pencils, then we took our fairy houses outside and placed them in our garden area – we are hoping to find some fairies soon!

We also created some characters to go around our fairy houses. We had lots of fun.
