Our vision statement: Be brave. Be great. Be you.

Our culture statement: We are fun. We are together.

Dear St. George's families,

We had a very peaceful start to the week here in school.

On Tuesday we recognised International Day of Peace 2021.

We thought about how to resolve conflicts in the playground and reflected on how lucky we are to have places of calm in our school and daily lives.

There has been lots of action in between though, including our Year 3 classes heading out to do fieldwork in our local environment, fulfilling our Geography curriculum vision of being 'outdoors' and being 'explorers'.

We would just like to wish good luck to Mrs Franklin, who is now on maternity leave. We wish her all the best with her growing family and look forward to welcoming her back next academic year. You will all be pleased to know that she has promised to come in to say goodbye to the Year 6 pupils before their last day.

As ever, we wish you the very best of weekends, full of rest and fun, ready for learning on Monday.

Mr Janes

Black History Month 2021:

Volunteers Wanted!

October is Black History Month and as part of our learning we would really like to invite in members of our parent and wider community who have black heritage to speak in an assembly.

We believe that if our pupils can 'see it', they can 'be it' and that we have many positive role models in our community who can inspire our young pupils to go on and be black history makers. Look out for a letter on SchoolPing next week or see Mr Janes for more details.

School Council Voting Next Week

Please look out for your child's School Council Voting form which is coming home this weekend.

If they would like the chance to have a say in how to improve our school, then they will need to write a speech on the form which they will read out in class next week, when class voting will occur.

Good luck to all potential candidates!

Open Classrooms Evening

Our Open Classroom events are coming up! Please see the calendar below for times and dates.

On the evening, parents are free to drop into their child's class where their books and learning will be available for you to peruse with your child. Their class teacher will also be available to speak to about how they have settled, classroom routines and how well they are doing with their learning.

There are two slots, one straight after school and one later in the evening for those with work commitments. See you there!

An Art Request from Ms. Conroy

Do you have any old shirts/t-shirts you can donate for our new Art Studio?

To allow the children to express their creativity more freely, we would like to protect their uniforms, so please be generous and sift through your cupboards for anything suitable.

If so, please bring them in to the office or ask your child to bring them to class.

All donations will be gratefully received! They can be adult or child sized.
