Tiny Forest - Eco Warriors, by Miss Berry
Date: 17th Nov 2021 @ 3:00pm
Today, some of our Eco Warriors got the opportunity to work as part of a country wide scheme to create green spaces within urban areas.
The scheme is run by Earth Watch Europe, and the Delph site in Liscard is one of many sites across the UK being developed into a tiny forest.
A tiny forest is a dense fast-growing native woodland of approximately 600 trees in a tennis court sized area.
Tiny forests bring all the benefits of a normal forest – reconnecting people with nature, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, as well as providing nature-rich habitat patches to support urban wildlife – right into the heart of our cities and urban spaces.
We had great fun supporting the biologists and helping to plant trees. We can't wait to see how much they have grown by summer and discover what wildlife they will support.

Our Year 6 football team were successful in the final round of the TRFC competition on Thursday. We will now go on to represent Tranmere Rovers in the Northern Regional Final held at Salford City in March 2022, where we will play for a place at Wembley. They were fantastic ambassadors for our school today with their skill and sportsmanship.
Tranmere rovers news report stated:
George’s Primary School have won the opportunity to represent Tranmere Rovers at the EFL Kids Cup Northern Regional Final.
The yearly event has taken place over the last three weeks with over 31 schools entering.
Split over two rounds the schools competed for one of the six places in the final where they would compete for a place in the next round to represent Tranmere Rovers.
St John’s, Great Meols, West Kirby, Birkenhead Prep, Liscard and St George’s Primary Schools all competed in the final that saw plenty of goals being scored in what was an exciting final round.
The final between St George’s and Liscard was of excellent quality and the two schools fought hard for the win with St George’s nudging their way through with a brilliant goal from a free kick just outside the box.
Speaking to a pupil from St George’s they said:
“We started off playing a few games in the first round and smashed it and then we came here to the final which was more difficult and we were a little bit nervous but we kept our heads up and won.
We are excited to go and represent Tranmere Rovers in the next round, we know everyone in the school will be excited and happy for us but at the same time we will be quite nervous as it’s a big deal.”
Speaking about the competition, Shirley Waring, Tranmere Rovers in the Community competition organiser said:
“There was plenty of excellent football on display throughout the whole tournament especially in the final which turned out to be a local derby between the two schools from Wallasey.
Well done to all the teams involved and good luck to St George’s in the next round”
Tranmere’s media team attended the competition and have shared some brilliant media content.

COP26 in Year 4, by Miss Hughes
Date: 12th Nov 2021 @ 2:29pm
During November, we have been learning about the impact on climate change and how we can all work together towards an achievable goal and make a difference.
We have learnt about the impact of plastics in our oceans, air pollution from our cars, and how we can be greener and more sustainable.
After realising how many vehicles pass by our school every day, we wanted to spread awareness about air pollution around our school. With the help of stop motion videoes, we wanted to show the impact of these CO2 emissions.
Each child made a pledge to reduce climate change and wrote their unique promise on a leaf. We hope to inspire you with the promises made.

Paying Respect at the RAFA War Memorial, by Mr Cassidy
Date: 12th Nov 2021 @ 6:16am
13 of our Year 6 pupils, Mr Cassidy and Mrs Roberts joined 20 local veterans from the 3 services (army, navy and RAF), their families, local councillors and the Reverend Ian Ward yesterday at the RAFA Club in Wallasey village for a service to commemorate remembrance day. The 3 services, school and council all laid a wreath to mark their respects. Children sang and read prayers.
It was a very poignant service, especially because it also marked 100 years of the Royal British Legion.. Our children ensured that their generation will never forget the sacrifices made by past generations an effort that was very much valued by everybody present.

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.

Coming along eggcellently, by Miss Hughes
Date: 4th Nov 2021 @ 3:07pm
After learning about the different types of teeth in our mouths and how we keep our teeth healthy and clean, Year 4 have been putting a few every day liquids to the test.
We wanted to find out the affect different liquids have on our teeth, and how bad full fat drinks really are compared to a more healthy drink option.
Firstly we examined the texture of the eggs and their colour. They were cream in colour and very smooth, very much like our teeth coated in enamel. We made our predictions about what would happen.
After just 24 hours submerged in 2 different liquids (a full fat pop and a semi-skimmed milk) you can already see the difference!
We can't wait to see what happens next!
