Saint George's Assembly 23rd January 2020
New Year - New Beginnings
and
The Year of the Word
During this assembly the children in Saint George introduced the year.
They told us about many events taking place (including the Olympics) as well as the Year of the Word.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales have declared 2020 to be a year of special focus on the Bible.
This marks the tenth anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Exhortation, Verbum Domini, (The Word of the Lord) and the 1600 years since the death of Saint Jerome - who translated the Bible into Latin. The year started on the Feast of Saint Jerome, 30 September 2019, and runs until 31 December 2020.
During this year we are called to explore and celebrate the Word of God through the Scriptures, share the Word with others and respond to the "God who speaks" in the way that we live.

Year 1 Learning Together Workshop in Phonics
Our parents cam along to see how we are taught to read and write using Phonics so that they could help us at home. We practised some sounds and played red word bingo!
Year 1 Maths Challenge
We all practised our doubles and halves and showed off how much we know by competing in teams to take on different maths challenges. The two teams then had a 'head to head' challenge. We all had so much fun!
A Miracle in Town!
We rehearsed our concert all about the birth of Jesus at Christmas. We performed our concert for the Infants, Juniors and all our families. Everyone worked so hard to do their best and the audiences loved our show. We are very proud of ourselves!
