Lyrics for the St George's Day song , by Pickering
Date: 16th Apr 2019 @ 3:09pm
There was a brave knight long ago,
Long ago, Long ago.
There was a brave knight long ago,
Long ago.
There was a dragon in his cave,
In his cave, in his cave.
There was a dragon in his cave,
Long ago.
St. George went riding on his horse,
On his horse, on his horse.
St. George went riding on his horse
To the cave.
The dragon roared and breathed out fire,
Breathed out fire, breathed out fire.
The dragon roared and breathed out fire,
At St. George.
St. George did stab him with his sword
In his heart, in his heart.
St. George did stab him with his sword,
Long ago.
.
George set the princess free at last,
Free at last, free at last,
George set the princess free at last,
Free at last.
So, everybody’s happy now,
Happy now, happy now,
So, everybody’s happy now,
Long ago.

The children in Year 1 and 2 are raising money to support our learning hero, Nathan Young. He is raising money so that he can represent Great Britain in the Deaf World Swimming Championships in Brazil. Nathan has been in to speak to the children and gave them a very inspiring talk about his journey. As an ex-pupil of St George's it was fantastic to welcome him back to school.
Today the children are taking part in a silent lesson and a silent playtime to help them to think about how deaf people can communicate in different ways. Their firstjob of the day was to use whiteboards to communicate their lunch choice. They will also be learning a song in sign language.
Thank you to all children and parents for the kind donations that have been sent into school today.
