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!

Spelling words to practise at home

Book Fair! πŸ“šπŸ˜Š

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! 😊

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!

Y4 Artwork inspired by Keith Haring! πŸŽ¨πŸ–Œ

In today’s Art lesson, we looked at the advertising campaign by the NHS for Change4Life. We looked at how Keith Haring influenced the art work through his use of figures. We created our own clay figures and made different backgrounds just like the ones that Keith Haring used! 😊🌟

 

 

Y4 Italian Food Tasting! πŸ’šπŸ€β€

As part of our Geography topic looking into Italy, we enjoyed taking part in a food tasting session where we had the opportunity to sample a selection of Italian foods. We used adjectives to describe the taste and texture of each dish. We had lots of fun! 😊🌟

Best of luck!

Cross Country! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

On Tuesday 10th October, children from year 3, 4, 5 and 6 competed in a cross country event at Chetwynd Deer Park. The children were amazing and tried their hardest. All of the staff were incredibly proud of our children. The PE team would like to thank Lisa and Louise, members of the PTFA for giving up their time to attend the event with us! It was a brilliant day!
