Here's our Celebration Assembly for this week. I'll place it into Google Classrooms in a mo, but I thought you'd like to see it via the blog too as you may miss it otherwise! After all, it's a nice celebration of the week that we've had. (Well done everyone!) Plus, it's only 7minutes long. [...]
Our staff are working incredibly hard navigating through Google's full range of software so that they can provide work, but also work out how to show and explain for the children at school, as well as for those at home, the learning for the day. We're 'sharing screens' and we're attempting to use two monitors so that we can see [...]
I wanted to do this yesterday, but I was a bit busy! I also wanted to do one for the children... I'll do so tomorrow! Here's a link to a video I've placed in a shared folder for you. You don't need to join or like etc... just click the link and play. (I don't waffle too much, honest!) Please [...]
Thanks for being patient with us. We've done a huge amount of work today and have finally received guidelines from the DfE and are a little better prepared for the week. Schools aren't closed, and in fact they're open to many families.... Quite a worry when this is supposed to be a lockdown that limits movement and transmission rates of [...]
I can't quite believe the timing, and irony, of my last blog at 4pm saying that we're ready and looking forward to everyone coming back in. What timing of this specific U-turn! We have now been tasked with something incredibly difficult to put in place, overnight, before our first day back. School will be open to children of Critical Workers [...]
Dear parents, Happy New Year to you all! I hope you’ve been able to enjoy the festive period with your family and enjoyed time together. It’s been a lovely break away from school but we’ve also been really busy of course, keeping up with all the updates and national changes! We’ve been successful over the past couple of school terms [...]
Merry Christmas! Someone new has just joined our school's nativity scene! Hope you have a lovely day and a wonderful Christmas break! One of our school values is that 'We Are A Community,' and we've got ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,' as our guiding Bible passage (Matthew 22 v.39). With this in mind, do make sure you phone and Zoom [...]
Firstly, a message about contact track and tracing over the Christmas period... If one of the children or staff have symptoms develop over the next 48 hours (that's any of the symptoms, and any time over Saturday and Sunday), the test is booked, taken and a positive result is returned, it is really important that you email head@georgeham-primary.devon.sch.uk to inform me [...]
Christmas dinner... And a Christmas surprise...
Teachers Rock showcased their work this afternoon for class 3 and 4, but also to another 8500 children around the UK. We had a question and answer session with The New Born King's song writer, Mike Stocks, and Teachers Rock founder, Debbie Kent, who led the children through a warm up before guiding us all through Mike's song. (Some children [...]
