We were delighted to enjoy much better weather for this morning's House Sports competition! The children gave it their all, running, jumping and dribbling with fantastic determination. It was wonderful to see so many parents joining in too, helping to make the morning even more special.
The competition was incredibly close, but for the second year running, St Thomas More House (Green) proudly lifted the House Sports trophy!
A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for organising such a fantastic event, to all of our children for their enthusiasm, teamwork and perseverance, and to the parents who took the time to come along, support and participate.
Congratulations to St Thomas More House (Green) on a well-deserved victory!

Today was our final Southend City Sports event and we were represented by a fabulous group from Year 5. They participated in the Key Stage Two Mini Games and as ever they were wonderful ambassadors for St Georges!

The final artist of the month for this year is Darcey from St Peter's class, for her wonderful self-portrait. She created a background that reflected her personality through the use of words and colour. She then completed the piece with her self-portrait traced onto a piece of acetate - she further made features pop using a pastel colour palette. Well done Darcey!

Children may come in PE kit during the extreme weather. Children must have a water bottle and sunhat with them. Children should have sun cream applied before school. We will be limiting the amount of time spent outdoors during the hottest times of the day. Thank you for your cooperation.
Year 2 had a fantastic day exploring Southend's seafront and learning about the history of our local area. The children sketched landmarks at Prittlewell Square, visited the Pier Museum, met the volunteers from the RNLI, explored the hovercraft and lifeboat station, and enjoyed a train ride to the end of Southend Pier. They also travelled on the Cliff Lift and enjoyed a well-earned ice cream! The children were a credit to the school and demonstrated excellent behaviour throughout the day. Thank you to all of the volunteers and helpers.
It was really colourful around school today as children and staff wore the kits and colours of nations represented in the FIFA World Cup. While there was a large number of England kits before their first match this evening, there was also a large selection of kits from many other countries too.
Look who's been visiting! Our new plants have been growing well with the recent rain and sunshine we have had. The plants have been attracting lots of visitors, including bees, caterpillars, ladybirds and more! These plants were planted by staff and children to increase the biodiversity of our school area through a grant provided with the help of the RHS. We look forward to seeing even more wildlife and colourful flowers during the summer term!
The winner of our Artist of the Month goes to Brodie from St Therese Class. Year 1 had great fun creating artwork inspired by Arlo Needs Glasses! They started by sketching dogs and used charcoal to give them a soft, furry texture. Then they added bright chalk pastels to create a bold, 3D effect, choosing contrasting backgrounds to make their work really stand out. To finish, they designed and made some super snazzy glasses using card, pens, sequins, pom poms and ribbons. They thought carefully about the shape, size and style so they would fit their dogs perfectly. Everyone was so proud of their colourful and creative Arlos!
Southend Specialist Teacher Service and the Educational Psychology service have a range of useful parent sessions coming up this term.
