Year 4 Digestive System Fun!, by Miss Mulheirn

Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 3:40pm

Year 4 got their hands very dirty this week! They used various household items to represent parts of the human digestive system. Please ask your child about the process, where the parts are located and their role inside the body. If your child would like to further explore the digestive system, there is a Limitless Learning task set in Google Classroom, in which they are invited to make their own creative and scientific models.

A Super Start for our Year 6!, by Miss M Jones

Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 9:45am

We have been blown away by the mature approach our amazing Year 6s have demonstrated during the first two weeks of a brand new school year! 

In P.E., they have reignited their love of rugby by applying their prior knowledge of ball skills and movement. In music, we are fortunate to have the wonderful Mrs Pugh-Richards back with us to deliver expert violin lessons. We have also started our new history topic on Slavery by looking at intriguing artefacts. 

Keep up the impeccable work, Year 6! 
We hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

A Fantastic First Week for Y4!, by Miss Berry

Date: 9th Sep 2022 @ 4:33pm

We have been so impressed with the excellent resilience and positivity the year 4 children have demonstrated this week.

In science, they have taken a virtual trip around the human digestive system using VR headsets. In English they explored various items to get clues about their new book. In art, they have explored how watercolours work and creating their own colours. They have also been on their first trip to top site to use the computing suite and sports hall. What a busy week!

We hope you have a restful weekend,

Community Garden August Workshop, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov

Date: 5th Aug 2022 @ 1:57pm

We have had a lovely morning working in our Will Allen Community Garden. Thankfully, the weather brightened up and we were able to complete plenty of jobs, including weeding, checking for signs of pests, picking and harvesting our fruit and veg, and the best bit, getting to sample what we had grown. 

We enjoyed a delicious brunch, where we sampled some homemade stewed rhubarb, apple conserve and mixed berry compote, as well as strawberries and raspberries. 

Our most successful crops this year have been rhubarb, apples, lettuce, parsley and green beans. All the families who joined us were able to take home what we had grown, and we can't wait to see what tasty meals they make with them.

St George's Launches Our World Reimagined Globe, by Mr Cassidy

Date: 20th Jul 2022 @ 4:15am

Our staff and children at upper site won a bursary to get involved in national project centred on racial justice and the legacy of the slave trade.   The attached leaflet explains more about the project.
 
Some of our new Year 6 pupils worked with Mrs Bowden Pickstock and have designed and painted a large fibre glass globe that will be displayed on a trail around Liverpool and Wirral over the summer holidays.
 
To find out where our Globe will be exhibited for you to visit, please go to www.theworldreimagined.org from Saturday 13 August 2022.
 
St George's globe is a celebration of Mother Africa. Our globe is split into 5 sections: 
  • fractals, which are layered to create the continent of Africa; 
  • symbols, which display the adinkra symbols; 
  • fashion, which showcases the textures, styles and colours of African clothing; 
  • food and society, which were selected after the children taste-tested a variety of food found in Africa 
  • and icons, which have been studied and honoured using their flags and silhouettes. 
The words encircling the globe represent pupils' reactions to the incredible icons lives.

After an early start, and a great cooked breakfast, year 6 were ready to get busy with their activities. We have had lots of water fun today with kayaks and water fights along with more climbing and laser conquest.

Monday at Condover Hall - Year 6, by Mrs Horton

Here are some more photographs of the fun we had on Monday.

Year 6 at Condover Hall, by Mrs Horton

Date: 19th Jul 2022 @ 11:20am

Year 6 are having a great time at Condover Hall. It has been very hot so we have had to make some adaptions to the timetable - we have added in water fights and cooling off activities.

We arrived at lunchtime on Monday and had lunch under the shade of the trees. After lunch we made our way to our dorms and settled in. We had some time to cool off before we started our first activities. It was very hot but we stayed in the shade as much as possible and drank lots of lots of water (we also used our water bottles to cool our bodies!).

Monday night dinner was delicious - especially the cake! We had evening activities when it was a little cooler. Then it was time to settle for the night. This did take a little longer than usual as it was pretty hot in the rooms. Eventually everyone got some sleep and we were up early this morning to start the day - some people were up very early!!

We apologise that we have not been able to post pictures sooner. We can only get wifi in the main building and even then it can be a very weak signal. We will update as much as we can as we have taken hundreds of photos. We can assure you that the children are having lots of fun!

Stollies Cafe & Deli in Wallasey Village held our first ever Foundation 2 Pop Up Art Exhibition this week.

This was a wonderful opportunity for parents to see the beautiful art work that their child has created during their time in Foundation 2.

Throughout the year, the children have taken part in three Artist studies, where they have looked at and explored in depth the work of Picasso, Acrimboldo and Goldsworthy.

The children have used their developing knowledge of the Artists and have created their own inspirational pieces of art.
