Emotional Health and Well-being Writing Activity Pack

Please see this great pack designed to help children improve their emotional health and well-being through writing. There are lots of different activities included in this toolkit- we would say they are generally aimed at our KS2 pupils although you may feel that some of them can be used with younger children with support..

Our Favourite Authors

Today in school, we have had lots of fun talking about and researching our favourite authors. 📚

Here are some of the fantastic PowerPoints that the children in phase 2 have created today 😊

Well done for a super effort! Great job 👌

Year Group Emails

Every year group now has an email address set up so families can email work that your child feels particularly proud of or even just to say hello! Emails will only be responded to during school hours and the purpose is for your child to feel that they can communicate positively with staff. Please look on your child’s year group area (within the Parents’ Area) on the new website for further details.

Year 6 Leavers’ Hoodies

Despite the current circumstances, as in previous years, we will soon be ordering Leavers’ Hoodies for all the Year 6 children who would like to purchase one. They have been very popular in the past, as the children like to wear them on their last few weeks in school ( and we really hope that this will be the case this year too!) and then keep them as a memory of their year group at St George’s.

The hoodies will be printed with the St George’s logo on the front like the school jumpers/fleeces and on the back the number 20 with all Year 6 children’s first names and surnames printed within the number.

Unfortunately, children will not be able to try on the hoodies this year and, once the hoodies have been ordered, refunds cannot be given.

Hoodies are available in three different sizes:
• Large Youth 9-11 Yrs. £14.50
• Extra Large Youth 12-13 Yrs. £14.50
• Small Adult £14.50

and available in four different colours:
• Red Hot Chilli
• Sapphire Blue
• Hot Pink
• Charcoal

If you wish to purchase one of these for your child please complete the attached form and return it to the school admin address (admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk) by Friday 8th May. Payment must be made through parent pay before hoodies are ordered.
If you can’t print out the form or fill this out on a computer please include all of the information on the form in an email, we must have all of the information requested on the form in order to order your child’s leavers hoodie.

We will not accept orders over the phone as sending us an email is our way of a signature and proof of what you have ordered. Thank you for your co-operation with this.

Should you have any questions relating to this please do not hesitate to contact me or the office staff at school.
Kind Regards

Mrs K. A. Watts

We hope you are keeping safe and well. We know that for some, being in lockdown is difficult. We will try to keep adding resources and information which may help you. Thank you to Miss Slaney, one of our teaching assistants, for working really hard on this.

 

 

Y5 and Y6 Author Competitions

We have been sent details of three competitions from author Luke Temple. Having looked at this, we think it is suitable for our pupils in Years 5 and 6. Any entries need to be sent directly to the details given, not into school please. We’d love as many children to enter as possible- you could win a school visit from Luke!

Here are the details from Luke:

To help bring a bit of excitement to children’s ‘home schooling’, I have:

  • Made my most popular book, Mutating Mansion, completely free to download.
  • Created an activity pack for KS2, ‘Luke Temple’s Writing Toolbox‘. This contains lots of the tools I use to help make my books really exciting, fun and scary to read. I hope children can use the tools to have a go at their own writing.
  • There is also a competition in the activity pack to win a signed book and a free author visit to their school (there are 3 of these prizes up for grabs). The closing date for the competition is 31st May.

The book and activity pack, including the competition details, can be downloaded from www.luketemple.co.uk/toolbox

History – Ancient Egyptians

Ancient Egypt | History | KS2 | Melloo

We had completed most of our Ancient Egyptian topic and had learnt some super interesting information, however there is still so much more we could have learnt about. We would like you to revise and research about the Ancient Egyptians and choose how you would like to present this; it could be a poster, power point etc.

Here are some links that you could use:

Stay safe & have fun 🙂
