Podiatrist Visit

This week year 3 were lucky enough to have a visit from Faye who is a podiatrist, they learnt all about how Faye uses science in her job and the different tests that she might carry out on a patient. The children really enjoyed it and listened really carefully.

Fieldwork Week

It is fieldwork week in school.

Fieldwork is research or study that happens in the real world. We can observe and get data about people, the natural environment and cultures.

This year the theme is ‘Environment’. Everything physical on Earth is part of an environment. This can include living and non-living things.

People can make changes to the environment. Some can be good changes. Some might be harmful to living things.

Things to think about:

What is your favourite part of the school grounds?

What is your favourite part of around your home?

Is it a good environment for wildlife? If so / not why?

Is there much litter or pollution?

The children will be doing fieldwork activities this week.

 

 

New Brighton Trip

Yesterday, we visited New Brighton beach as part of our ‘coasts’ topic in Geography.

We had an absolutely fantastic time, the children all represented the school so well and were able to pick out physical and human features on the beach.

Design and Technology

Our topic in DT at the moment is ‘Functions of Fabric’, we have been learning all about different types of fabric and their properties and have even had a go at creating our own fabric by weaving. The children have all shown great perseverance

Cricket in Year Three

On a Wednesday afternoon, year three have been doing cricket with Maisy from Shropshire Cricket Board. They have been learning some new skills  and have played  games in small teams. They have really enjoyed learning to play cricket.

Walk to School Week | Living Streets

This week at St George’s we will be promoting Walk to School Week.

This is a five-day walking challenge that begins on Monday 15th of May. It encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. This could be walking, cycling or scooting to school. If it is not possible to walk the distance, you could ‘park and stride,’ which means parking further than you normally would and walking the rest of the way. 

During the week, the children will meet various animals and they’ll learn about the important reasons to walk and the difference it can make for individuals, communities and the planet! Each animal will educate the children on one of the following reasons: Inclusion, Sustainability, Health, Mindfulness and Friendship.

Good luck!
