Geography Projects in Year 6 😊

Whilst the rest of their classmates are at Arthog, the Year 6 children who are at school this week have also been having a wonderful time! 😊 They have been enjoying all sorts of learning opportunities, and have particularly enjoyed the geography projects that they have been working on.

We have been talking about different coastal areas, both in the UK and in the world, and have been using Google Maps to explore. The children have chosen a focus coastal area which they have researched and produced a project on. We have all learned lots of fascinating facts from each other! 🤩

We are very excited to announce our first ever Spelling Bee at St George’s!

On Wednesday 22^nd 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! 📚😊

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 £2.99! All books sold will contribute towards earning free books for school 😊

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! 😊
