Recycle Week 2022

This afternoon, the children have learnt all about recycle week. The children may be looking out for the recycling logo at home.

These are some of the logos they have recreated.

Mountains

In Geography, we have been looking at the mountains in the UK.  The children are working really hard to develop their geography skills.  These are some of the children hard at work!

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.

Geography Challenge

In Geography, we are learning about the UK. Today, we have located different counties, we then used google maps to look at Shropshire and we identified some key features.

It would be great if you could find out more about other counties in the UK. You can present your work anyway you like. E.G. poster, leaflet, Power Point.

Please bring in any work which you have done. 🙂

 

Untitled

In Literacy, we are looking at stories from familiar settings. This week, we have read The Wrekin Giant.

We discussed the two characters in the story and the main events.

These are some of the amazing character Slinkys the children have made.

 

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.
