NUFC visit St. George's!

Class 3 loved their Matchfit sessions with the Newcastle United Foundation before Christmas, so when the Foundation asked if they could come back to our school, because of how sensible and well mannered the children were, to do some promotion for the scheme, we said yes!

On Tuesday afternoon, Class 3 impressed everyone - including two Directors from the NHS with their knowledge of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. 

The children were VERY excited when James Perch and Danny Simpson arrived to spend some time with them - the footballers enjoyed making fruit kebabs nearly as much as the children did!

Everyone then moved into the hall to take part in some fitness tests - I think James and Danny were very impressed with the motivation and enthusiasm of our children.

St. George's supports "The Bubble Unit"

On the 20th December, our children took time out of their Christmas parties to support a very worthy charity - The Bubble Foundation.

One of our pupils has been very poorly and has received treatment at the 'Bubble Unit', so, in an effort to say thank you to them for all they have done, we wanted to raise some money.

Everyone wrote a Christmas wish on a label , along with their name and the school addrees and attached it to a balloon.  The balloons were released from the school grounds - we watched them disappear over the horizon! I wonder whose will travel the furthest? We're hoping that anyone who finds a balloon and label will let the school know.
