Year 4/5 Football Team Report, by Mr Knowles
Date: 28th Jun 2022 @ 5:01pm
Over the last two Mondays, some of our Year 5 children (and 1 year 4 child) have been able to play some friendly matches against Liscard Primary and New Brighton Primary School.
The boys played a tough match against New Brighton Primary first and drew the game 1-1.
In the second fixtures, 20 players were split into 2 teams to play against Liscard. Both of the teams managed to win their games, scoring plenty of excellent goals in the process.
While we are really proud of the boys footballing performance, we are more impressed with the sportsmanship, teamwork and conduct as part of the team. They represented St George's brilliantly and we look forward to more fixtures next year.

Year 2 trip to New Brighton, by Miss Gough-Hughes
Date: 23rd Jun 2022 @ 1:24pm
Today, year two took a coach to visit New Brighton for half a day. The children had the chance to explore the buildings of present and past, taking photos on their iPads to capture this. We saw the Royal Pavilion, Marine Lake, Fort Perch Roch, the beach, the lightouse, Marine Point shops, the funfair etc. We also had the chance to go litter picking on the beach, collecting lots of rubbish. At the end of our trip, we had the chance to speak to the lifeguards who taught us how to keep safe at the beach. Whilst listening to the lifeguards, we had a cool ice lolly. Finally, we took a coach back to school and had a cool down. The children all had a great day!
Year 4, by Miss Mulheirn
Date: 22nd Jun 2022 @ 9:23am
Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their visit from local poet and children's author Martyn Harvey.
He began with an assembly in which he performed 'The Boy with the Saucepan Hat'.
Martyn then held a workshop with each class and the children asked him lots of great questions. They learnt how Martyn gets his ideas from the world around him and how he both writes and illustrates his wonderful books and poems. They even got chance to see Martyn's prototypes and discussed the process of editing and redrafting. The children then performed one of Martyn's poems to the poet himself, and received lots of constructive feedback and advice. Martyn brought lots of his new book with him for the children to buy which he has also signed!
What a fantastic, creative day!
Science - Enthuse Celebration Event, by Miss Gough-Hughes
Date: 21st Jun 2022 @ 10:26pm
Over the last 18 months, St George's have been working closely with several cluster schools, undertaking an Enthuse partnership with STEM. We have been fortunate to gain this support to enhance our science curriculum within school, delivering engaging and exciting science lessons and collaborating with others to share knowledge. Our aim is to continue to raise the profile of STEM and support our children to see the opportunities available to them in the future.
As part of this partnership with STEM, we held an exciting celebration event at our school, whereby the schools came together to celebrate science. 10 children from each school (years 4-6) were chosen to be the representatives, completing activities including rocket mice, VR, outdoor learning minibeast hunting, floating & sinking etc. They also shared what they have been learning within science, in their school.
The children had great fun attending this celebration event and they made us all very proud, being excellent representatives for our school. They proudly spoke to governors, our Enthuse coach and various staff members. Well done St George's!
