Year 5 Poplar enjoyed continuing their art lesson at Harper Green School this morning.

Whilst there, they added a heartfelt message onto a poppy and joined the school’s reflective service.

🥈 2nd place out of 30+ teams! 🥈

We knew our girls had skills, but they truly excelled themselves today!

Competing in the Bolton Wanderers Tournament against more than 30 teams, they remained focused and worked well as a team to make it through to the final.

Mrs ...Hambley and Mr Jones got their just in time to proudly watch the girls play in the final game. They worked hard to keep possession in the opposing half but St Marks had a skilful striker who was tough competition.

Each girl should feel incredibly proud of their efforts and what they achieved by the end of the tournament. All staff were delighted to hear where they placed.

Thanks to Mr Ward for preparing the girls and supporting them throughout the afternoon.🥈

Our Leadership Team represented the academy with deep respect, maturity, and dignity, they stood in solemn reflection to honour those who served and sacrificed. Their impeccable conduct and thoughtful attitude were a credit to themselves, their families, and our academy community.

We ...couldn't be prouder of how wonderfully they represented us today. Thank you for showing such heart and respect Little Ferns 💚💜🏵️

📚 Reception Phonics Workshop 🔤

It was lovely to welcome our Reception parents and children into the academy for our phonics workshop!

The session was a great opportunity for families to find out more about how we teach phonics and how they can support their children's ...early reading journey at home.

There was lots of enthusiasm, learning and fun as parents and children explored some of the activities we use in school.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and got involved. Working together makes such a difference! 📖

Celebrating this week's birthdays! 🎉🎂😊
