Welcome back! 

Apart from the very exciting arrival of our swimming pool we have been learning about St George.

 We went on a magical adventure back in time to learn about a very brave man named St George. He’s a very special hero who is remembered every year on St George’s Day, which we celebrate on April 23rd. Let’s find out why he’s so famous!

🛡️ Who Was St George?

St George lived a long, long time ago — so long ago that there were castles, knights, and even stories of dragons! He was a kind and courageous knight who helped people and stood up for what was right.

People all around the world remember St George for being brave and strong. He is also the patron saint of England, which means he is like a special protector of our country.

🐉 The Story of St George and the Dragon

One of the most exciting stories about St George is the tale of the dragon! 🐲

A long time ago, there was a town that was very scared because a huge, scary dragon was living nearby. The dragon was causing lots of trouble, and the people didn’t know what to do.

Then came St George! 💪 He rode on his white horse, held up his shiny shield, and used his courage to fight the dragon. He didn’t run away — he stood tall and brave! And guess what? St George saved the town and the people were very happy.

(It’s just a story — but it teaches us about being bravekind, and helping others.)

We learned that being brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared — it means doing the right thing even when you feel a little bit scared. We also talked about helping friends, standing up for others, and being proud of where we come from.

Maths

In maths we have been learning learning to make numbers beyond ten. We especially focused on numbers 11,12 and 13. We know that:

10 and 1 makes 11, 

10 and 2 makes 12

10 and 3 makes 13. Please use small objects such as stones, pencils, coins to help your child to make these quantities.

Phonics

This week in phonics we practised reading CVCC words with a short vowel sound. Our trick words were: said, so, have. 

Please speak to us if you have any concerns about swimming. We are looking forward to an exciting 4 weeks of fun in the pool. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LABEL ALL SWIMWEAR AND EQUIPMENT.

Have a great weekend.
