Library Visit

Today, we were lucky to have Rachel, a special visitor from the SouthWater library in Telford, lead assemblies for both KS1 and KS2. Rachel shared valuable information about our local libraries, including how to get a library card and access books. She also explained the number of books we can borrow at once and how long we can keep them.

In the assembly, Rachel highlighted upcoming events at the library, like craft sessions, and she answered all the children’s questions. Rachel’s visit sparked lots of curiosity and enthusiasm about the wonderful world of libraries!

Art for the Art Gallery

*Art for the Art Gallery*

Does your child love to produce works of art but never gets the opportunity to show it to everyone?

Here at St Georges, we have a wonderful Art Gallery in one of our school corridors and we are looking for more art to showcase. We would like some drawings or paintings to display that the children have produced. There is no theme required- just a drawing or painting they have/will produce that they love and are proud of. The pieces of Art provided to school will stay up in the corridor for this academic year. If your child is in Year 6 and would like the art back before they leave, we will ensure they receive it back. Please hand your wonderful pieces to Mrs Bridgwater 😊

St George’s C of E Primary School Young Saver Scheme πŸ‘›

Just Credit Union Parent Letter

With the support of the ‘Just Credit Union’, we are excited to announce the launch of our new ‘St George’s C of E Primary School Young Saver Scheme.’

This evening, your child should have brought home a double-sided letter explaining everything that you need to know. Please speak to your child’s class teacher tomorrow if this is not the case.

Please find a copy of the letter above, but you will need access to a printer if you are wanting to complete an application form.

We hope that our exciting new initiative will be of interest to your child.

 

WW2 Artefacts in Year 6

Today, the children in Year 6 were fascinated to see some real-life artefacts from World War Two. They included photos, a ration book, a medal, a soldier’s bible and an account from a Japanese prisoner of war camp. The resources had belonged to the grandfather of one of our local members of the community who served as a soldier during WW2. It was wonderful to be able to see real-life copies of things that we have been learning about. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Grice (whose grandfather they belonged to) for sharing these wonderful resources with us!

Performance Poetry in Year 6 🎭

As part of our Performance Poetry topic in English, we have been studying the traditional poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ by Clement Clarke Moore.

The children have done an excellent job of learning and performing the poem. We have been especially impressed by how well they have worked as a team to create their performance, which involves every single member of our year group 😊

Here are some pictures showing all stages of our project, from reading and analysing the poem, to learning in small groups, to performing with 75 children altogether! πŸ₯°
