Exciting news! We’re thrilled to introduce our new Christmas-themed writing competition! We’re on the lookout for imaginative pieces of writing that capture the magic of Christmas.

You’re free to express your creativity in any Christmas writing formβ€”whether it’s a story, poem, comic strip, diary entry, newspaper report, or anything else that sparks your fancy! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Write a crime report about a mysterious ‘intruder’ on Christmas Eve.
  • Create a poem about Santa falling too sick to work on Christmas Eve.
  • Craft a story about Santa being mistaken for a burglar!

Give all entries to Miss Bibi or Mrs Branford by Monday, December 11th.

What’s even more exciting?

All entries will be compiled into a special book for the school and there are runner-up prizes to be won. We’ll select one outstanding piece from each year group as the winning entry.

So, what are you waiting for? Let the magical writing journey begin!

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!

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! 😊
