Year 4 - Art, by Miss Mulheirn
Date: 3rd Jul 2023 @ 2:46pm
Today, the year 4 pupils began to create their final printing tile based on their favourite motif from a previous lesson. They had to concentrate very hard to ensure their final design was copied accurately. Once they had drawn out their motifs, they then used a pencil to incise the foam tile. We can't wait to print our motif next lesson to create a repeating pattern in the style of William Morris!
Year 1 and 2 Trip to Tam O Shanter Farm, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov
Date: 3rd Jul 2023 @ 11:11am
Children from year 1 and 2 had the opportunity to visit Tam O Shanter Farm on Saturday. We had a great time seeing all of the animals, including alpacas, sheep, goats, pigs and many more! We learnt about what food each animal likes to eat, and even got to feed some of them. We made special snacks for rabbits using cardboard rolls, which help keep their teeth from growing too long. Later on, we had a go at den building in teams. It was great fun!
Year 4 - Art, by Miss Mulheirn
Date: 30th Jun 2023 @ 4:03pm
Year 4 have loved learning all about William Morris and the process of printing over the last few weeks. They began by researching William Morris to find out key facts. They then selected pieces of his artwork to study before recording their thoughts and observations in their sketchbooks.
In the next lesson, the children practised the skill of observational drawing using viewfinders to select areas of interest as well as images of William Morris' work and photographs of nature.
Their next step was to design a motif taking inspiration from Morris' designs. They will transfer their motif on to a printing block in upcoming lessons to create a repeating pattern.
This week, they reached the very exciting stage of practising the printing process! Here are lots of photos...

Year 4 went on a fabulous trip to Liverpool on Thursday to help us with our learning in RE.

Year Six Learn all about Parliament., by Mrs Roberts
Date: 28th Jun 2023 @ 11:13am
This morning, Year Six had a very special visitor. Gary Hart, an education officer from Parliament. Gary told them all about the roles of the House of Lords and House of Commons. We even had children acting out how a bill is passed in Parliament. It was really interesting to learn that a bill can get passed between the two houses several times before it is passed as a law. The children also used their fantastic oracy skills to ask some really interesting questions. What a great morning!
Year 6 - The Great Debate, by Mrs Horton
Date: 27th Jun 2023 @ 10:07pm
Over the last few weeks, year 6 have been developing their debating skills as part of their oracy work. They all learnt about the different roles within formal debates and took part in some debates within their classes. They practised using formal language and learnt how to rebut ideas using debating strategies.
All of year 6 gathered in the hall for 'The Great Year 6 Debate'. We saw some amazing, persuasive debates and it was obvious that year 6 have taken this learning very seriously.
Finally we took a team of children to Liscard Primary School to take part in 'The Great Wirral Debate' with some other local schools. Not only were the debating team excellent but we also had some pupils who were able to judge the others teams and gave some very precise feedback on their debating skills.
They debated the following topics:
- Should SATs be scrapped?
- Is technology really making children's lives better?
- Are footballers paid too much money?
The team had a great afternoon and it was wonderful to work with other schools who are also taking part in the Voice21 oracy project. To top it off the team came first place as they wowed the judges with their confidence, knowledge and extensive vocabulary.
Well done to all of year 6 and the teachers for their work on debating - WOW!

Cross Country Event, by Mr Knowles
Date: 27th Jun 2023 @ 8:50am
Yesterday, after school, some of our Year 5/6 Cross Country Club took part in a race event at New Brighton Dips. The group have been working hard with their coach (Chris) over the past weeks to increase their stamina and work on pacing over long distances.
The children showed grit and determination on a windy day and all competed excellently individually. We also entered a team into the Year 6 relay which consisted of 2 of our Year 5 runners too!
We are looking forward to more Cross Country races next Year.
Well done to you all, we are very proud.

Clean Air Day Conference 2023, by Miss M Jones
Date: 23rd Jun 2023 @ 11:45am
St. George's have marked Clean Air Day 2023 by attending a very prestigious event - Clean Air Day Conference - at Eureka! Science & Discovery.
We were given a slot of time in the their theatre, presenting to other schools, companies, members of the council - and even the Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Jerry Williams!
Within our presentation, we showcased all of the fantastic eco work we have carried out this academic year. After this, we outlined our new project in collaboration with Professor Thanh from Liverpool John Moore's University: the Smart Green Journey app.
The children presented with great confidence. After listening to all of the school projects, we had a look around Eureka and visited a few workshops led by Asthma UK, Living Streets, and Lynn Struve.
Below are details on how to get involved with our project:
St. George's have been invited to take part in an exciting partnership with Liverpool John Moore's University trialling their new app, 'Smart Green Journey'. The app works a little like the fitness app, Strava, by tracking all of the journeys we make (on foot and by vehicle). The app cleverly converts the kilometres travelled into CO2 emissions created, so we can see for ourselves our own carbon footprint and the impact we are having on the planet, making us more mindful about the journeys we take! We are aiming for as many people to join our school in the challenge to reduce our emissions. Below is an infographic, explaining how to download the app and join the challenge. Be the key to cleaner air! Make the decision to reduce your emissions!
