• New Friday Award Certificates - Golden Values

  Fri 28 Feb 2020

  We have now redesigned the awards to reflect our Golden Values in school. Each class teacher chooses two children to have an award and the certificate reflects the value they have demonstrated. A few children may receive an award with all four values to show they have been a true role model to the class. We wonder who will be the first to collect the whole set?!

Both choirs performed well but the stars of the evening were the Lower Junior Choir (Y3 and Y4) who won the event, competing against eleven different school choirs of mixed ages. Well done to all the children and thank you to Mr Cunliffe and Mrs Sales for their time and inspiration.

• Remembering Mr H

  Fri 21 Feb 2020

  A group of parents, Sarah, Jude, Lizzie and Richard, completed the 50mile ultra in October in memory of Mr H. Their JustGiving page closed at the end of January and they’re delighted to say that they are donating £900 towards the development of the outdoor areas around school - the sensory garden, pond area and new growing area, in Mr Hambett’s memory. We would like to thank them for their dedication and keeping the spirit of Mr H alive in the school community. Work is planned to start over Easter to develop the area around the outdoor classroom, which will be a focus for our outdoor learning in school, just as he had hoped.

  Y4 Visit

  A great Anglo-Saxon day was had by Year Four this week at Weaver Hall.  The children really enjoyed learning lots of interesting archeological facts as well as seeing some fascinating artifacts.  They made clay models of anglo-saxon warriors and as you can see from the photo, they had great fun demonstrating a real life battle! For more photos see the Y4 page https://www.bowdoncs.org.uk/y4-joint-blog-2019-2020/

  Hockey

  The hockey league continued last Tuesday with BCS beating Tyntesfield and drawing against Broomwood. Miss Bulcock reports;

  ‘First and foremost- the players, as ever, were an absolute credit to the school. They were all so well mannered and respectful both on and off the pitch… Another strong performance at the tournament, with great support as ever from various parents on the sideline too which is always great to see. Well done Bowdon, a very talented group of players just getting better and better.’

  Well done to the BCS Hockey team and thank you to Miss Bulcock.

  This Tuesday Miss Parle took our Lacrosse team to Timperley Sports Club to play in the first round of the National Pop Lacrosse Championships. The team won all their matches coming top of the table. The top two teams then had to play the final resulting in another win! Our team are now through to the next round of the Manchester Games.

  Ms Parle reports; ‘Outstanding performance from the entire team displaying excellent stick skills, hard work and fantastic athleticism.’ Well done Lacrosse team and Ms Parle too!

  We would also like to thank the parents for their ongoing support in supporting all these sporting events
