The children have settled back into school well and the summer term is well underway. We've even had some lovely sunshine this week!

This week, the Key Stage Two children have been able to use the adventure playground (in their separate bubbles) again following repairs over the Easter break. They are really enjoying rediscovering the equipment and having a bit more space to play.

We have been busy planning for our St George's Day assembly on Friday afternoon; the school has been filled with dragons, flags and shields all week! Sadly we cannot invite parents to this year's celebration, which we are holding outside on the playground, but we will share some photos next week.

We are also going to be in the Gazette next week so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Further to the email and newsletter last week: Please note that all cheque payments to school should now be made payable to St George's C of E Primary School. This includes payments for school meals and Wraparound care.

The latest edition of the DITTO ESafety magazine has been uploaded to our school website. It can be found on the Esafety page here https://www.st-georges-pri.essex.sch.uk/e-safety/

Dear Friends,

We invite you to St George’s Church for Choral Evensong on St George’s Day, Friday 23rd April at 6pm. Our vocal quintet will be providing joyful music for us, including an anthem by Sir David Willcocks. At the end we will go into the churchyard to sing a hymn together.

The service will last 45 minutes and will be led by the Revd Laura Garnham and Canon Stephen Carter.

We look forward to seeing you.

Best wishes

Jenny and Gregory

Class 2 have spent the week learning all about the story of St George and the dragon, and looking at how we celebrate St George’s Day. Since the weather has brightened up, we decided the perfect way for our class to celebrate would be to enjoy some scones and jam outside in the sunshine! We spent the beginning of the afternoon preparing our teatime treat and decorating some traditional bunting, before sitting down for our snack and then having extra playtime in the sunshine.
