Telford and Wrekin Art Competition for World Environment Day

Hi everyone! We hope you are all safe and well. We have received this message into school today from Telford and Wrekin Council and we’d love our school to get involved!

‘We’re celebrating World Environment Day this weekend with an art competition open to anyone under 11. We thought that due to the current circumstances in schools this might be the perfect opportunity to get the kids outside and thinking about the local area?

We want to see paintings, drawings, collages and tree rubbings! Whatever it is, it just needs to celebrate the abundance of nature and wildlife we have in the borough.

We would love to share the entries on our social media accounts too – so please let us know if that’s possible?

All entries will be in with a chance of winning a post lockdown guided tour of the beautiful Lightmoor Nature Reserve with their family.

The competition is open to children aged 11 and under, living in the borough.

Please send any artwork to us at mywildtelford@telford.gov.uk by the end of Monday 8 June.’

We have emailed all St George’s families this afternoon with a printable template for the competition which you might find helpful but you can use anything you like. If you do take part, please share your pictures with us too as well as sending it to the official entry email address above. Thank you.

We would love to hear from you :)

Before half term, it was lovely to receive photos and messages from you with all the lovely work you have been doing. We miss hearing from you!

We would love to see what you have been doing either during half term or anything from over the last few weeks would be great 🙂

Photos are a bonus or just a message to say hi and how you are keeping!

Please share these with us on the year 5 email – year5team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk and we will look forward to sharing them on the website for your friends to see too. You could also post them onto the St George’s Facebook page if you want to as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Budgeting – week beginning 1st June

We have decided to set you another budgeting task this week as you all seemed to really enjoy planning your own holiday.

So this time, we are staying at home but you will need to plan activities to keep all of the family entertained.

Your family will have 2 adults and 2 children (you can decide ages and boys or girls).

You will have a budget of £100 to keep the family entertained for 2 weeks of the Summer holidays.

Chester Zoo ready to reopen to public but face 'difficult ... Swimming Pool - St Bees School Alton Towers Vlog August 2019 - YouTube

Research all the lovely places you can visit and you will need to budget for cost of entry, food, drinks and any extras e.g. the gift shop.

You could visit:

Chester zoo
Park hall farm
Hoo farm
Telford town park
Telford ice rink
Anywhere else you love to visit!

We hope you have lots of fun budgeting for a fun summer and hopefully some of these places will open soon so we can visit!

Literacy task for week beginning 1st June :)

We hope you have all had a fantastic half term and have enjoyed some lovely sunshine.

This weeks task is to complete the following Talk for Writing booklet. Your teacher’s have already made the charity donation so parents don’t need to do this as well.

When you have completed the booklet, we would love to see your information texts about your own creatures. Remember to email them to us at year5team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk.

Have fun, Year 5!
