Doing French this afternoon... being fashion designers and colouring clothes. As an example, I suggested they talk about the coloured pencils that need passing round the table... "Can you pass me un crayon rouge?" Photo Credit: Nico Cavallotto via Compfight Quite nicely... Neo passed me the red pencil 5 minutes later. How thoughtful! Who can remember their colours?
I send Well Done postcards quite often (I have a weekly reminder on my diary but I may not be that frequent!) and unlike Star of The Week nominations and Awards, they are quiet surprises that just turn up on the doorstep. Yesterday, I was really quite taken by the attitude to work shown by two children. Not only did [...]
I love our Putsborough Beach Walk. It's a really nice community spirited event bringing loads of us together for a fun time on the beach. Great too that it's moved from the traditional (but busy) side of the summer holiday to the equally nice weather this term - what a great way to start the year! Thanks again to Rob [...]
What we learnt on the way to the village hall: Walk, scooter or cycle on the left but not in the middle or on the right. That you shouldn't walk on the zig and zags because it puts you in the middle of the road. People park their cars badly and it forces people like us to walk round them, [...]
Our raspberry canes have enjoyed the summer sunshine as well as the children - who all seem to have grown a few more inches over the summer break! The children will be able to have some fresh raspberries from the school garden for their pudding today. A big welcome to all our new children this morning, looking so smart [...]
Welcome back everyone! In assembly this morning I introduced the first of our half-termly Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) topics, entitled New Beginnings. We have several new children at school, but even those who've been here for a long time have the new experiences of a new classroom, a new teacher, a new seat, a new table partner, [...]
Went in to school today and for the third time this summer I tried to clear the pile of paperwork that certainly went back just before January. And I'm normally so organised! Mrs Mortimer was in. Obviously an early start for her as she'd done a lot of work in the room and had just tidied the veg patch, probably [...]
Some great tunes from the guitar group It was a sad but very proud afternoon today as we said good-bye to our amazing year 6 at the leavers' assembly. The cohort of 2014 are a very talented, lively bunch who are going to leave a big hole here at Georgeham. As Mr Thomas said, they may be leaving [...]
Yesterday year 6 had their traditional leavers' lunch of a roast dinner, ice-cream and cupcakes! Even the children admitted they were full by the end, and made the sensible decision to wait (only about an hour) before tucking into a second round of home-made cakes supplied by Ruby! A massive thanks to Heidi Butters for baking the delicious leavers' cupcakes, [...]
