Key Stage Two Swimming 🏊‍♀️🥽🏊‍♂️

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Every Monday, beginning Monday 24th April and ending 17th July, all Key stage 2 children will go to Oakengates leisure centre for a 30 minute swimming lesson. The children will go to the swimming pool in their year groups and will be split into three different groups, based on their swimming abilities. Each group will be led by at least one member of St George’s staff. The leisure centre life-guards will be on hand as a safety measure.

All children will get changed at the leisure centre so will need an appropriate swimming costume in a separate waterproof bag, towel and goggles if required. All other swimming equipment such as arm bands and floats will be provided at the leisure centre. We suggest packing an extra pair of socks/ tights in case they get wet during the changing procedure.  Can we please encourage children to wear their swimming costumes under their uniform in the morning to make the most of the time available at the swimming pool (don’t forget to pack underwear for after swimming.)  All children will return to school in time for normal lunches.

Kind Regards

PE Team.

Stuffed Peppers! ?‍??‍?

Today in Design and Technology, we made delicious stuffed peppers! ❤

We practised our chopping, dicing and grating skills. We recapped our food safety rules before cooking and made sure we washed our equipment thoroughly when we had finished with hot, soapy water.

We are so pleased with how well our peppers cooked and we are very excited to try them this afternoon! ?

Baking in Year 4! ???

This term’s Design and Technology unit is ‘Seasonal Food‘. In today’s lesson, we followed a recipe to bake fairy cakes using flour made by milling grain. We thought carefully about working hygienically and safely. The children weighed out and measured their own ingredients and made some beautiful fairy cakes!

A huge well done to all of our bakers! ?‍??‍??

Judo!

A huge well done to all of the Year 4 pupils who participate in the Judo taster session. The children explored break falling, backwards throws and hold downs. It was great to see the children’s involvement and they asked some very interesting questions about the heritage of Judo!

Big Walk and Wheel Event 2023

Register your school for Sustrans' Big Walk and Wheel today! | Raring2go!

We are taking part in Sustran’s Big Walk and Wheel, the UK’s biggest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling to school competition. The event will run all week from 20th-24th March. It is free and we would love everyone to be involved!
On each day of the challenge schools will compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school. The Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) at St Georges will collect this data and with the help of Miss Bibi, will add it to the Sustans website.
Schools will be entered into a daily prize draw for rewards (including equipment and accessories) if over 15% of their pupils walk, use a wheelchair, scoot or cycle on that day of the challenge.
We want all children to join in the fun and to understand the health and wellbeing benefits of active travel. Please help us to encourage your child to walk, scoot or cycle to school this week. Don’t forget to make sure they wear a helmet if they do scoot or cycle.

Useful resources

To help you prepare, Sustrans has developed a handy free guide to walking, cycling or scooting to school. It is packed with advice to help you have hassle-free journey to school.
