Indoor Athletics Competition ?

Our Year 2 children had a fantastic time at the Telford and Wrekin School Sports Key Stage 1 Indoor Athletics Competition. The boys and girls absolutely loved travelling to the venue in style in a minibus and came in third place overall.

 

Coach Jacob

Today was Coach Jacob’s final session of rugby and reading as he is going on to begin his career in quantity surveying. Jacob has been such a positive role-model and he has had such a positive impact on our children. Jacob’s sister will be taking his place as our new coach so we still be in very good hands. Thank you so much Jacob, our staff and children will really miss you. Best wishes for the future ☺️

Let’s Get Real – Recycle Week

Recycle week is an annual event to promote and celebrate the importance of reducing our waste.

Managing the waste we produce through our everyday lives is important because we need to reduce, reuse and recycle resources.

This special week has been held since 2004 and its mission has been to encourage us to recycle more.

Together – We recycle 

Now is a great time to think about how our rubbish affects the world.

We can work together and step it up to help the climate crisis.

Telling The Time ⌚

At St George’s, we believe that telling the time is a very important life skill. To assist us with our teaching of telling the time, we would like to encourage any children who own an analogue watch to wear it to school. Please do not feel pressured to buy one though if your child does not own one. We have invested in some additional analogue clocks that have been put up around school. Thank you so much for your support. Please note that Smart Watches cannot be worn to school for safeguarding reasons.

National Poetry Day 2022

Scottish Poetry Library (@ByLeavesWeLive) / Twitter

To celebrate National Poetry Day in Year 2, we took part in an Animal Kennings Poetry Party workshop with Award-Winning Poet Mark Grist.  We worked as a class to create a Kennings poem about our favourite animals!

Rosa Parks

Our Year 2 children loved producing a piece of art work based on Rosa Parks. The children were touched by the story of how she refused to give up her seat on a bus due to the colour of her skin.

Buddy Reading

Last week, each of our Year 2 classes loved their Buddy Reading Session with a Key Stage 2 class.
