As we get closer to the start of the new school year, it is time to start thinking about getting ready. You might have already bought new school shoes or perhaps had a haircut, but it's also time to think about what else you can do to be ready.


Have a think about these questions:

What are you looking forward to this year?

Is there anything you are worried about? What could you do to feel less worried?

What do you hope to achieve this year? How will you achieve it?

What might you need to improve on this year? Have you got a target you would like to meet? Perhaps learning all of your times tables, reading more books, joining a new club or learning to swim a length of the pool?

These are all great things to think about before coming back to school next week. Perhaps you could talk about these questions with an adult or older brother or sister. Could they help you to achieve your goals this year?

This is my favourite times tables game! You pick a car, then race against other players. If you can answer the questions fastest, you move further along the track. See if you can beat the other cars!

Goodbye and Thank You!

We have had a wonderful year! It was very sad to see you all leave, but it has been a fantastic year and I am very happy to have been one of your teachers. Mrs Hopkins, Mrs Cook and I have loved teaching you all this year. We know you will all do brilliantly in Year 6!

I would like to say a huge thank you to you all and your parents and families for the beautiful cards, lovely messages and very generous gifts I have received from you this week. Thank you so much, I am very grateful.

Thank you all for being a super class- stay safe this summer; have fun and come back in one piece!!

A Busy Week Ahead!

Today we had a fantastic trip to the new Picturehouse cinema on Lordship Lane, in a building that used to house our school! We watched a lovely film called 'Home'- we all enjoyed ourselves!

On Wednesday, we will be watching the Year 6 play in the morning. In the afternoon we will be having our Summer Class Party. If you have kindly agreed to bring in something for our party, please bring it into school on Wednesday morning. Leavers' Evening will be celebrated on Wednesday at 7pm.

On Thursday, we will have our End of Year Mass at school at 2:15pm. Thursday will also be Toy Day in St. George's. You can bring in a toy from home, but it must not be valuable, electronic or require batteries. Do not bring in anything that you are not happy to share! Cards, board games and soft toys are ideal!

On Friday, we will celebrate the ACE Awards assembly at 9am. School will close for the summer holidays at 2pm.

This year, we will not be sending exercise books and folders home until Christmas. However, please still bring in a carrier bag, as there will be some artwork to come home.

Hot hot hot!

Today has been a very hot day, but tomorrow will be even hotter!

To make sure we have a happy and safe day at school, please make sure you put on sun cream in the morning, bring in a sun hat, drink lots of water (everyone will need a water bottle tomorrow) and do not wear your jumper to school.

If you have summer uniform, please wear it tomorrow!
