We are pleased to welcome you to the Year 5 page. The main need-to-know information can be found here as the year progresses. Watch out for continual updates on our blog to see what our Year 5s have been up to - you can find this here. If you have a query, please email schooloffice@stgeorges.wirral.sch.uk and the Y5 team shall endeavour to reply as soon as they can.
The Y5 team hosted a well-attended Zoom meeting for families regarding the Y4 to Y5 transition at the start of July. This can be viewed here (alternatively, download the PDF from the bottom of this page).
To familiarise yourself with the site on Claremount Road, have a watch of Mrs Pickering's tour of Top Site.

Google Classroom and Home Learning
We use Google Classroom as our online learning platform.
Google Classroom is a web-based learning environment and offers a digital safe space for students to view class tasks, access learning materials, view posted assignments, and hand in completed work. Through Google Classroom, children will be able to complete home learning tasks online and submit work to their teacher for review.
We would suggest that after accessing your child's classroom, you and your child familiarise yourself with the platform together. This is where teachers will set work and send messages within the class stream. There will be a range of ‘assignments' posted and some of the tasks can be uploaded/completed online for the teacher to view.
Please regularly discuss online safety with your children. Our online safety page has lots of advice and useful downloads.
