St Georges Community Rock Snake

Rock Snake!

Good afternoon everyone! 😊

Several groups within the St Georges community have decided to come together to make our own rock snake. You may have seen ‘Percy’ the rock snake which is based in Priorslee. It is fantastic and has hundreds of painted rocks. We would love for you all to get involved in our own snake!

A fantastic artist, Sarah Jayne, has painted the head for our snake and it has already been placed at the main entrance to Little Dragons. This will then lead down towards the ‘Flash’.

Please join in and add your own colourful rocks and let’s see how long it grows. We can’t wait to see your creations!

We would love for you to make your very own string telephone!

How could you adapt it to make it even better?

What did Alexander Graham Bell invent?

Carry out further experiments all about sound.

Over the next two weeks, we would like our Year 5 and 6 children to learn more about sound and how it travels!

Reading…have you still got what it takes?

In year 6, we have worked very hard on reading comprehension. Reading is a key skill and it is not just about sounding fluent and using expression. Children need to have a deep understanding of what they are reading about.

Can you still remember how to answer the different types of questions?

Below are links to the reading text, the answer booklet and then the mark scheme to a reading test called ‘The Holiday’ .

Have a go and see how well you do.

Design a T-Shirt to Celebrate Year 6

Good morning Year 6!

This week we would like you to design a t-shirt that shows your memories, highlights and favourite moments of Year 6. You could draw the outline yourself or use the template below to help you.

Some ideas may be: Arthog, Knife Angel trip, booster classes, Christmas production or favourite lessons. You might draw your favourite things about St George’s from your whole time here instead. The choice is yours.

Here is a template you can use if you wish to.

We can’t wait to see your creations.

Please email them to year6team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

Stay safe,

Year 6 team

Well done to Grace from 5B for her fantastic interpretation of a famous painting of Claude Monet painting outdoors.
