Year 2 Remembrance Day

Today we had a special visitor called Mr Hylton. He came to talk to us about Remembrance Day. We also found out why Remembrance Day takes place on the 11th November and discovered why people buy and wear a poppy as a symbol of remembrance. We made poppies to add to a class display.

Year 2 Behaviour Stars Reward

Today year 2 reached 500 behaviour stars for the second time!

As our reward, we decided to make some sweet treats in the style of fireworks and then we ate them while watching a film, YUM!

Y2 Literacy- Instructions

In Literacy, we have been learning about instructions and we have linked our work to our history unit ‘Travel and Transport’.

Today we used roleplay to re-enact an airport experience. First, we made our own boarding passes and passports. Then we went into the hall to act out the entire process of travelling on a plane including checking in, baggage and security. We even got to see a real safety demonstration from our very own air hostess, Mrs Bradburn!

Spelling Bee at St George’s! 🐝

Spelling Bee Images – Browse 2,279 Stock Photos, Vectors, and Video | Adobe Stock

We are very excited to announce our first ever Spelling Bee at St George’s!

On Wednesday 22nd November, we will be holding a Spelling Bee for children in KS1 (years 1 and 2), lower key stage 2 (years 3 and 4) and upper key stage 2 (years 5 and 6).

The event was introduced to the children on Monday and it is completely optional, but it would be fantastic to have lots of children take part! All of the children taking part will receive a certificate and the top 3 winners will receive a prize! Anyone that does not want to participate will still get to enjoy the event by being part of the audience!

If your child has expressed an interest in taking part, a copy of their words will be sent home so that they can practise. The words are also attached below. Please note that children will need to spell the words using letter names not sounds.

Good luck!

Book Fair! 📚😊

We will be holding our annual book fair next week, from Monday 13th November to Wednesday 15th November, where there will be lots of fantastic books for children of all ages. There are hundreds of titles available, starting from just £2.99! All books sold will contribute towards earning free books for school 😊

The book fair will be open in the large hall after school on these days. Your child will have the opportunity to look around the book fair during the school time. If you are unable to attend the book fair in person, your child can bring a wish list home: you can then select a book, make an online payment and your child can collect their book from the fair the following day.

We look forward to seeing you there! 😊

Autumn 2 Spellings

Here is a list of all the spellings that Mrs Probert’s and Miss Morgan’s group will be focusing on during Autumn 2. The children will learn the rule every week and practise their spellings daily in school during our spelling session. The spellings are also uploaded to Spelling Shed weekly  so using their log in the children can practise them using a range of spelling games at home too. A spelling test will take place on a Friday every week. 

Weekly spelling lists to go home

Phonics and Early Reading Workshop for Parents

Little Wandle

Thank you to all of the parents that took the time to attend the Phonics and Early Reading workshops before half term! We hope that you found it useful.

For further information about the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised Programme go to https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/. Here you will be able to access videos which show you how to pronounce the sounds and how we teach your child specific aspects of phonics in class. There is also downloadable information to support your child at home.

On Thursday 16th November, we will be holding an Early Phonics drop in session from 8.45-9.15 and 2.30-3.00 for parents of children in our Foundation Stage (Reception and Nursery). Pop in and look at our resources and ask any questions about how you can help your child to acquire key phonic skills and begin their reading journey. There is no need to book, just turn up at any time for either session!

If you have any further questions about Phonics or Early Reading please don’t hesitate to talk to your child’s class teacher.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Art Competition! 🖌✏🖌✏🖌✏🖌

Our art competition is inspired by the artist Henry Fraser. We heard about him today during assembly.

Below is a link all about him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekZSuVqczxk

The competition is to produce a piece of art, painting preferably, by holding the paintbrush in your mouth. You will have to persevere, it will be tricky but try your very best!

Entries have to be in after half term on the 6th November. Give them to Mrs Blair, Mrs Bridgwater or Mrs Probert.

Good luck!

Recycling Week

This week we have learning about Recycling and why it is so important. We all bought a plastic bottle and recycled them by turning them into animal plant pots/ pencil holders. Here are a few we’ve made.
