When is St George's Day?
We celebrate St George’s Day on 23rd April.
KS1 St George's Day activities
The simple PowerPoint can be used to teach pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 about St George. Pupils answer simple questions, displayed on the PowerPoint, to check their understanding of what they've read.
This could be used as a whole-class reading activity using the PowerPoint. Alternatively, more fluent readers could use the PDF version of the text and comprehension independently or in groups during guided reading sessions.

Reading
Year 1 – Develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by listening to and discussing a wide range of poems, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond which pupils can read independently.
Year 2 – Understand both the books that they can already read accurately and fluently and those that they listen to by answering and asking questions.
