Congratulations to one of our lovely pupils, Charlottte in year 4, who has raised £150 for the homeless charity, Crisis.
Charlotte wanted to help the homeless comunity as she said 'it's not right that some people don't have a home, especially at Christmas.'
She baked, sold and delivered cupcakes (with a little support in the decorating department from her brother Lewis, in year 6) and presented the money to the charity at their Christmas Carol Concert on Monday.
Crisis have publicly thanked her and said she is setting a great example.
St George's and her proud family completely agree - well done Charlotte!

Storytelling success for Matlida, by Mrs Walters

Date: 9th Nov 2021 @ 1:26pm

Well done to one of our year 3 pupils who took part in an exciting online project and ended up reading out her own work at a Storytelling Showcase!

Matilda attended a 90 minute Zoom session every week as part of a Wirral Libraries creative writing project for children aged 7 to 11.

The theme was all about climate change and children were invited to join the Zoom based courses with author Charlie Lea, who guided them on how to write powerful and persuasive stories of their own.

Matlida was then invited to attend a Climate Champions Storytelling Showcase at the Liverpool Central Library where she read out her own story.

We are all so proud of Matilda who did an amazing job!

Year 6 African Drumming Workshop, by Miss M Jones

Date: 18th Oct 2021 @ 11:31am

Year six had the absolute pleasure of attending a special drumming workshop on Monday! We learned about lots of different percussion instruments and their West African heritage. Then, we had a go at some call and response drumming: our leader shouted, "I like chips for tea!" and we had to shout back, "He likes chips for tea!" all whilst drumming to each word! After a few practice rounds of responding to different calls, we then performed in classes to the rest of Year 6 what we had learned. What a fantastic experience!

The Y3/4 Eco Team met Councillor Ian Lewis today to talk to him about improving the air quality at St George's.

The children presented facts about air pollution;

  • It can have a detrimental impact on your mathematical ability
  • It causes heart and lung diseases and may even contribute to mental health issues.

They shared some of the initiatives we have at St George's including WOW - encouraging children to walk, scoot or ride to school and house plants in each classroom

They also shared some solutions including their idea of installing clean air islands that would improve the air quality around our school.
