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.

Wagamamas ??

Year 5 have had an amazing time at Wagamamas this week!

We took part in a chopsticks challenge where we got to try unusual foods such as Japanese pickle, we then prepared a meal called Mini Yasai Yaki Soba which we got to eat at the end and made fresh fruit juices which contained apples, pineapple, lime, cucumber and spinach.

What a fantastic end to our Design and Technology cooking and nutrition topic.

Printing Using a Polymer Tile

As part of our Iron Age Art topic, we have designed our own Triskelion and carved it into a polymer tile to then use to print repeated patterns on a page.

Mental Health Awareness Week ❤️😊

This week is World Mental Health Awareness Week ❤️

We were lucky enough to be part of a virtual assembly with ‘School of Kindness’.

We discussed what anxiety is and how kindness and anxiety are linked. We also practised breathing techniques and created a toolbox of strategies to help us if we feel anxious. There were over 50 schools involved and we really enjoyed taking part. 😊

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!
