Outstanding writing!

The winning stories from each class were sent off to a British Book Publishers, “Chapter One” into a competition they were running. One of the entries, Ana Sauras from year 4 was chosen as a runner up. This was a fantastic achievement, as she was competing against English native writers from across the U.K. Her story will now be published in a short stories book. Well done Ana, we are very proud of your achievement!

Foundation stage and Year 1 goes to the Theatre
http://www.stgeorge.es/sites/files/colors-numbers.jpg On Friday 8th April, Foundation stage and Year 1 went to a local theatre to see a production called Numbers, Colours and Songs. The show told the story of a young Spanish girl who wanted to be good at drawing. One day, one of her colouring pencils came to life and she was able to teach him lots of words in English and in return he taught her how to draw. Throughout the show there was lots of laughter, fun and songs and the children were encouraged to participate and ask questions. The children greatly enjoyed the outing and really enjoyed the bus ride!
