The Bowker Leaders were on hand to help honour Remembrance Day and help collect Poppy Appeal donations around school.
Thank you to all who donated and to everyone that took part in the Remembrance Day activities. All of the class poppy wreaths were fantastic!
The Bowker Leaders wanted to take part in Remembrance Day by sharing the famous poem ‘In Flanders Field’ by John McCrae.
Last week, Years 5 and 6 were lucky enough to have a visit from Mr Bell, the Headteacher at Parrenthorn High School. He brought along some of our former Bowker Vale pupils – it was lovely to see their familiar faces! They explained all about what year 7 is like at Parrenthorn, the subjects you can study and answered all of our questions (we had lots!). Mr Bell also informed us of the upcoming open evening (6th October) and lots of us were eager to attend!
This morning, Bowker Vale received a visit from the Manchester Parking Enforcement Team.
As part of our ‘world of work’ assemblies, upper school were able to meet some of the traffic officers and learn more about their job role and how they keep our community safe.
We discussed what being a parking officer involves and the reasons why we need traffic wardens in our local area, especially outside the busy road at Bowker Vale.
Our Bowker Leaders worked with the parking officers to think about ways we can increase awareness around parking hazards outside of school. Together, we discussed ideas of how we can promote other ways of getting to school other than a car, such as public transport, riding a bike or walking.
Look out for our traffic awareness posters outside of school in the future!
Thank you Manchester Traffic Enforcement Team for the informative visit.

Miss O’Keeffe and the Bowker Leaders
A selection of the Bowker Leaders took part in some planting around the tree on Middleton Road. We are hoping that the beautiful freshly planted flowers will help deter members of the public from parking on the grass.
Year 1M loved taking over the school, they enjoyed time in Narnia and spent their 20p’s by making an Ice Cream shop, which they all visited and had a yummy ice cream treat!
4Ma had a fantastic time enjoying lots of activities for ‘Take Over Afternoon’!
They chose to spend time in the forest and enjoyed making slime in the classroom!
Well done to our year 6 Bowker Leaders, Aamanee and Areesha for selling ALL of the Red Noses for Comic Relief!
Well done to the Bowker Leaders who lead the whole assembly this morning and introduce how Bowker Vale will celebrate and fund raise for Red Nose Day this year.
Well done to the Bowker Leaders, who lead the assembly this morning to remind everyone about our ‘Take over’ afternoon.
On Friday 11th of March to celebrate Manchester’s children and young people and the immense resilience they showed during the pandemic we are having a ‘Take Over’ afternoon at Bowker Vale. Where the children will rule the school! The children will decide the activities that take place in the afternoon. The children have been raising money to support ‘Take over’ afternoon by bringing in 20ps and spare change. Collections end this Friday, so please can I ask for your continued support for one last week of collections.
