A Wonderful Week!

Well, what a busy week it has been in St. George's Class!

Yesterday, the children performed their excellent assembly and everyone enjoyed watching them- we had lots of lovely comments from the other children, teachers and families. Well done for learning those lines and performing so confidently!



After our assembly, we went to the Horniman Museum. We enjoyed a hands-on workshop, looking at puppets from around the world.



We also loved the Amazon Adventure exhibition. We saw many dangerous creatures that live in the Amazon River, felt an electric eel's zap, tried to lift an anaconda and even had a dance on an Amazonian dance floor!

After school, many of the children and families from St. George's Class came along to the launch night of the exhibition featuring our spectacular rhino. It was lots of fun- the gallery was an exciting room full of super artwork by children from schools across Southwark. Keep your eyes peeled to see if we feature in any of our local newspapers!


Well done St. George's Class for a busy and productive week- have a well-deserved rest this weekend.

Light Sources

This afternoon, we were learning about different sources of light.

We played these games as part of our lesson and lots of you asked me to put them on the blog- so here they are!

We watched a video of a dance group called 'Attraction' who were the winners of Britain's Got Talent this year. We discussed how they used light and shadow- particularly how they made their shadows bigger and smaller.

Can you remember how they did it?
