Everyone at St George’s would like to say a massive thank you to all of our wonderful children who have been learning from home, and to all of the parents and carers who have done their absolute best to become teachers during this challenging time! The last few months have really highlighted what a wonderful community we have at St George’s, and we can’t wait to be back together in September.

You certainly all deserve a well-earnt break over the Summer holidays. There is no expectation that you will continue to work over the six weeks off, but if you would like to keep up with work over holiday, here are our recommendations:

The year group email addresses will be closed over the Summer holiday, but if you wish to make contact please use the following:

General enquiries – schooloffice@stgeorges.wirral.sch.uk

Thank you for all of your hard work and support,

From all of the staff at St George’s

Supporting Families With Covid 19 (Coronavirus)

We recognise that many families will need support with self isolation and home schooling.  Using this page and the tabs below, we have set up home learning links and advice.  Your child's class teacher will also be in touch via your child's class tab.  We are aiming to to provide your child with lots of learning links and ideas. 

In the 'online links' tab, we have set up links to websites and online learning portals that we use in school.  Your child has been sent home with their online logins and passwords for the websites we use in Year 5.  We have also set up links to other pages that will help your child learn at home.  You will also find downloadable home learning packs at the bottom of the 'online links'  page.

They will also be able to read daily and practise their mathematics using their Year 5 home learning mathematics book.

We have also added a poster with 25 ideas to have fun at home without screen time.  

We also want to ensure that families and children are looking after their well-being.  Link below takes you to our advice and links page for mental health and well-being:

Just a little message from your Year 5 team 

Hi all,  

As you all know, schools in the UK are closing their doors on Friday 20^th March 2020 until further notice. We want you to know that we, as a team, will be doing our utmost to keep learning interactive and manageable, while your child is away from school. We will do everything we possibly can to support all children and families. In addition to our timetable, your children have all been given a list of logins for a variety of online resources to use, an orange English book and a green Maths book to record their learning.

As of Monday 23^rd March 2020, the Showbie and Education City accounts will be live. This means that your child can select both a Maths and English/Reading activity daily. In addition, there are some suggested non-screen activities for children to complete, as well as some topic based learning around The Vikings and China: they are under the section 'Files to Download' further down this page.

Please remember, we are here online, and will do our utmost to support you and your children during this challenging time.

Miss Hughes, Miss Spurdle, Mrs Parker, Miss Jones, Miss Murphy, Ms Lewis, Mr Knowles, Mrs Heatlie and Miss Barbet.

Every week we will upload the lastest addition on First News. This is a children's newspaper that we subscribe to in school. You can download it by clicking the link above. The great thing about this newspaper is that every week we will also attach some reading activities and puzzles. The PDF files are attached below. Please note that level 1 is the easier activity (aimed at lower KS2) with level 2 being more challenging (aimed at upper KS2) . Complete the actvities each week as part of your English lesson at  home. If you can't print the sheets off, you can record the answers to the questions in your exercise books.

This week there is some information on the Coronavirus. It may be useful for children and parents to read these together and gain a better understadning of what has been happening around the world. This is a good opportunity for discussions, questions and also reassurance.
