Hi everyone!

Just a reminder that the deadline for the ‘Artist in a Box’ competition is Friday 10th July. Please email photo evidence of your project to admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk.

The Arts Team will then judge the entries and announce a winner on the following Monday.

Good Luck!

REMINDER YOU HAVE UNTIL THIS FRIDAY TO COMPLETE YOUR PROJECT! YOU HAVE REALLY IMPRESSED US WITH YOUR POLLUTION AND STONE AGE PROJECTS, LET’S GO OUT WITH A BANG AND MAKE THIS ONE THE BEST ONE YET! 

Over the next couple of weeks, we would like for you to research all about living things and their life cycles.

The following questions may give useful prompts for your research.

• What do seeds require in order to germinate?
• How does the ovary of a flower change as the flower wilts?
• Which animals have the longest gestation period?

We would like you to find out about:

• The life cycle of a plant
• The differences between the life cycles of mammals, amphibians, insects and birds
• How plants and animals reproduce
• The work of David Attenborough and Jane Goodall as naturalists and animal behaviourists.

Here are some resources to get you started.

3. Sports activities from last weeks ‘Virtual sports week’ are all saved on the website too in case you didn’t get chance to complete them all.
4. Our new project to research in Science is Living things and David Attenborough. We would love to see as many of your projects as possible! These need to be sent to the Year 5 email by 1pm on Friday 10th July.
5. Each week there is also lots of Literacy and Numeracy activities posted. Please keep an eye out for these too as it is really important we keep these fundamental skills going.

This week, we would like the children at home to get involved with our creative writing challenge! Each key stage will be given a different theme which will inspire them and give them a purpose for their writing.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a competition. The aim of this challenge is to encourage creative writing.

This week we will be revising all things to do with time as this is an area lots of children find tricky! I have attached PPTs to support you, activities to practise your skills and games to play! Remember to also just practise telling the time when you are out and about and during the day.
