Exploring 'Change and Adapt': Creative Posters from British Science Week

In celebration of British Science Week, Miss Bennett has received an impressive array of posters for the Co-op Academies Trust competition πŸ”­πŸ§¬πŸ§ͺ. The children were given the theme 'Change and Adapt' along with a list of materials to guide their creations. We encouraged them to unleash their creativity, and the results speak for themselves! From a wide range of topics to explore, we now face some tough decisions ahead. A huge well done to all the talented students who contributed their fantastic posters 🎨!

REWARDS

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Woodslee, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
