School Council Event

On Thursday, a small group of our school councillors went to Southwater Library to feature in Councillor, Shaun Davies’ Christmas video. The children got to ask Shaun a series of festive โ€˜This or Thatโ€™ questions and talked about some of their own Christmas traditions. While they were there, they enjoyed reading some books too!

The video will be aired mid-December and used widely across the councilโ€™s digital channels to wish borough residents a Merry Christmas!

 

 

Y5 Football Tournament

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! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜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 ยฃ2.99! All books sold will contribute towards earning free books for school ๐Ÿ˜Š

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! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Our art competition is inspired by the artist Henry Fraser. We heard about him today during assembly.

Below is a link all about him.

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!
