We we thrilled to be invited to sing at the St George’s Christmas Light Switch on this year! Both the Junior and Senior choirs performed Christmas carols and songs, both individually and collaboratively. It was such a wonderful community event, and a pleasure to be a part of 🥰🎄🎅

Y4 Seasonal Stockings! 🎄🎅⛄❄
As part of our Design and Technology unit, Year 4 have started their seasonal stockings project! 🧵🌟
Today, we have been practising our sewing skills looking at using 4 different stitches: a running stitch, zigzag stitch, back stitch and overstitch. We all demonstrated excellent perseverance and resilience learning a new skill! 😊🎅
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!
Year 6 Christmas Performance 🎄
A huge well done to all of the children in Year 6 for their wonderful Christmas performance in church this week. We were so impressed by all of your singing, poetry, reading and instrumental skills 👏👏 Great effort everybody- you made us very proud! ❤
