Yesterday, some members of class 12 treated our friends at Nightingale Care Home to some reading. The children were exceptional. These visits draw skills and hidden talents from these children that we don't get chance to see in school. Their visit brought smiles to the residents and likewise, as they left, the children were buoyant: they loved meeting new friends and building bridges across generations. It brings such joy to see how simple gestures can make huge differences and how, when children are presented with opportunities like these, they shine so brightly. Well done year 6 - we're very proud of you!

KS2 had a fantastic morning working with local author, Mark Saxby. He talked about how reading can inspire our writing. It was great to hear him modelling reading with expression and explaining how humorous stories can be a great route into reading - particularly if we don’t think reading is fun.

🌟 What a way to end Year 6! 🌟

A huge congratulations to our incredible Year 6 pupils on their fantastic performance of School of Pop!

From the opening number to the final curtain call, the children entertained us with their amazing singing, energetic dancing, confident acting and plenty of laughs along the way. Their talent, teamwork and dedication shone through in every scene, and they should all be incredibly proud of what they achieved.

Productions like this are about so much more than performing. They build confidence, resilience, friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Watching our Year 6 children take to the stage with such enthusiasm and maturity was a wonderful reminder of just how much they have grown during their time at St George’s.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff, who gave up countless hours to rehearse, organise and bring the production to life, and to our families for their continued support and encouragement.

Well done, Year 6! You truly were the stars of the show, and we couldn’t be prouder of you. ⭐🎭🎶

Today it was Foundation Stage's turn to visit the Nightingale Care Home... we did some colouring and spent time chatting with the residents and then the staff at the home presented us with a lovely thank you card! It has been wonderful and we're really looking forward to more visits with our new friends next year!

🌿🦴 Year 3 & 4 Adventure at Creswell Crags! 🦴🌿

Our Year 3 and 4 children had a fantastic day exploring Creswell Crags, where they stepped back in time and discovered what life might have been like thousands of years ago.

Throughout the day, the children took part in exciting survival skills activities, explored the caves, identified different animal bones, and enjoyed looking around the museum to learn more about the fascinating history of the area. They also had the opportunity to visit the gift shop before heading home.

The children represented St George's brilliantly with their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the day. We hope you enjoy looking through some of the highlights from our adventure!
Here is your first raft of photos to enjoy...

🦋 Today, Class 4 experienced a truly magical moment as they released the butterflies they have carefully nurtured and watched grow from tiny caterpillars.

It has been wonderful to see the children's excitement and curiosity throughout the life cycle, and today they proudly waved goodbye as the butterflies spread their wings and flew into the world.

A beautiful reminder that with patience, care and time, amazing things can happen. 🐛🦋
