King Charles Display – Yr3 and 4

By

We have a beautiful portrait of our King to display and need some wonderful pupil work to go alongside it.

Choose an image below to describe. Think about your word choices and the information you would like a reader to know. You can research to find out more interesting facts, or you might have the ideas in your head already! Aim for 4-5 sentences. The most creative writers will have their work displayed next to the portrait.

King Charles Display – Year 5

By

We have a beautiful portrait of our King to display and need some wonderful pupil work to go alongside it.

Can Year 5 children write a letter to our King? What would you like to say to him? Do you have any questions to ask? Do you think he is doing a good job so far? Do you want to send good wishes for his health at the moment?

If your letter is chosen to display, it will be seen by all of the visitors that come to school.

Great British Spring Clean

By

The last week of this term, our children will be taking part in the –‘Keep Britain Tidy – Great British Spring Clean’

This means that children will be collecting litter and clearing our school grounds and also our local area too. Please be assured no litter will be handled by the children, they will have long handled picker sticks and sturdy bin bags.

With this big effort from Bowker Vale, we hope that you will notice a really positive difference and that together we can improve our own grounds and our local community.

Children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will all be cleaning up areas within our school and the school grounds.

Children in Years 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be leaving school on foot to clean up our local area.

If parent/carers of Yr 3/4/5/6 or members of our community would like to offer their help, please see your child’s class teacher or ring our school office – 0161 7405993 – thank you!

The Big Ambition

By

In assembly, we discussed and completed this survey today. Please comment below if you complete it as well!

The Big Ambition aims to hear from children across England on what they think is important! In the lead up to the next General Election, the Children’s Commissioner wants to take children’s thoughts, opinions and ideas to decision-makers, to make sure that the Government hears young people’s voices on what they think needs to be done to make children’s lives better in England.

The Big Ambition survey will be open until Friday 15th December.
