Squashed-Sleep-In
2014-05-03T14:55:34+01:00Some of us (The Shaddicks) turned up early and set up camp (a mansion of a shanty town just for the two of them) and some of us arrived after dinner time to work out where was best to set up camp given that most of the carpet space had been taken by either the mansion or Shelter Box's tent, [...]
The Big Sleep In
2022-08-18T13:27:29+01:00I wonder what it's like to sleep somewhere new, weird, odd, strange, possibly even worrying (...it's not frightening.) I wonder what it's like to sleep on a concrete floor with only cardboard to make it comfy? The Big Sleep In Shelterbox will be sharing a small presentation of what they do at St George's on Friday evening, we'll [...]
The Nature Area
2022-08-18T13:27:29+01:00As part of our science we have been looking at ways we could develop our nature area. Our ideas included bird boxes, a water feature, an insect hotel and a willow tepee. We then got our “designer heads on” (as one child called it) and started to draw up plans. Here are a couple of the plans. The [...]
Stonehenge… Barnhenge… Georgehenge?
2022-08-18T13:27:29+01:00Turn up this morning and what should I find? More plastic. Here's the first few layers of our milk bottle igloo. Mrs P, her new glue-gun and the after-school club Georgeham Jumpers have been busy! How much plastic can we recycle and put out in our playground?

Today’s playtime…
2014-04-23T13:02:22+01:00Even though it was wet this morning, even slightly drizzling, we were outside at playtime as we usually are with this weather. The new matting at the end of the playground enabled the children to use more space and spread about which was great, and we even noticed a distinct difference in the amount of injuries coming to the staff room! [...]
St George’s Day…
2014-04-23T12:41:41+01:00It's St George's Day... and since I was asked this morning by a bright lad if the flag was up on the roof, I chose him to be the one to come up on to the roof and help me fix it up, as I do with one of the children every year. Apparently only one in five people know [...]
The last volleyball update?
2022-08-18T13:27:29+01:00Day 3. I came up to do some computer work to help install a faster broadband router from RM - nearly there. I also painted the lines on the volleyball court, but I may do it again with masking tape to make sure they look more solid. (Note: I need to buy grass seed.) Day 4. The final bit of [...]
The Volleyball Court update…
2014-04-08T08:11:36+01:00It's been a long time waiting, but the weather looks good and it's even a school holiday, so no having to block part of the playground off from the children whilst the builders get on with it - it's started! Day 1. Rob from Putsborough Sands took delivery of the mountain of rubber shreds and John Withers brought it on [...]
