Storytelling Week

National Storytelling Week 2023 Activities | National Literacy Trust | National Literacy Trust

This week at St George’s, we will be celebrating Storytelling Week! This event invites children to enjoy stories both old and new, to use as inspiration for the most classical form of entertainment: the telling of stories!

The children will take part in various activities throughout the week which will take them on a journey to become confident storytellers with a focus on developing oracy skills. Each class will buddy up with a different year group and perform a story/poem by the end of the week.

We have also invited Peter Chand into our school who is a renowned storyteller and well known for his powerful, evocative and moving stories. He will lead assemblies and deliver workshops to every year group!

Webinar Wednesday - The Creatives' Guide to Marketing with Peter Chand - Beyond the Border

Stay tuned for photos of this fantastic event!

Art Competition! 🖌✏🖍🖌✏🖍🖌✏🖍

We are opening up the  spring art competition.

We would like you to try to paint in the way that Tom Yendell does. Tom uses his mouth and his feet to hold a pencil and a paint brush so that he can produce his art.

Click to learn about Tom Yendell.

Here is some of the art he has produced.

We would like you to have a go at using your mouth or your feet to hold the pencil and paint brush to produce a piece of art in the style of Tom Yendell.

All entries to Mrs Blair or Mrs Probert by the end of half term. We will announce the winner after half term. Good luck!

Dog’s Trust Assembly

This week, we have welcomed Alison from Dog’s Trust into our assemblies to talk to the children about how to keep safe around dogs.

The children have learnt that if they want to stroke a dog that they see out in public, they must:

  • Ask the owner- it is very important to get permission first.
  • Ask the dog- the children know to stand with their hands by their sides.
  • Wait for the dog to come to you- if the dog doesn’t it means that they don’t want to be stroked.
  • Always stroke the dog on the side of their body so they can see what is happening.
  • Always stroke dogs gently.

The children have also learnt what to do if they are scared when a dog comes up to them.

  • Never run away, always stand still as the dog may think it is a game.
  • Anything that you might have in your hands that a dog may like, throw it away on the floor.
  • Cross your arms so that they cannot sniff your hands.
  • Don’t look at the dog.

See if your child can remember what to do around dogs that they see out and about!

Dogs Trust Workshops

This afternoon Year 3 welcomed Alison from Dogs Trust who delivered some very interesting workshops all about how children should act around dogs they might come into contact with out in public as well as some very interesting tips about how to look after their own dogs. The children all listened really carefully and shared some fantastic ideas.

Year 3 Clay Heads

This week, our word of the week has been Malleable.

This has coincided perfectly with our art work. Today, we used clay to make our own clay heads. The children used a variety of techniques when doing this and everyone created some fabulous clay heads. Well done, Year 3! 🙂

Reading

Well done to all the children in year three who are reading lots at home.

It is an expectation for all KS2 children to read five times a week at home. Children who read five times a week get a treat on a Friday. Children are allowed to write in their diary once per day and we are encouraging the children to take more responsibility for their reading. If your child writes in their diary, please could you sign it to confirm they have read.

Thank you for your support.
