SkyArts Success: Beehive's Creative Cartoons!
Beehive plunged into #SkyArts week today, mastering the art of drawing basic figures and transforming them into incredible superheroes! Their amazing cartoons clearly show how using simple shapes dramatically elevated their skills. Plus, they demonstrated excellent listening – well done, everyone!
Miss Campbell kicked off an exciting journey for Year 1 into the world of money! They began exploring what coins and notes look like, and discovering the unique value of each one.
This fantastic book “Poems and stories from Birkenhead North” contains the work of our children, stories and poems.
Written and published to highlight just how much we love our local library and what an enormous part it plays in so many of our lives.
Thanks to Becks from North Birkenhead Development Trust - St James Centre for choosing our children’s work to be in such an important book.
Thank you for all the lovely comments on social media about our great team! We appreciate all your feedback.
A Day of Art, Advertising, and Adventure for Year 6!
Year 6 enjoyed a wonderfully cultural day in Port Sunlight yesterday! They delved into the Lady Lever Art Gallery, discovering how Viscount Leverhulme revolutionized modern advertising. Students were captivated by the diverse collection, choosing their favorite paintings and sculptures, and were particularly struck by the exceptional craftsmanship of the furniture.
Their exploration continued with a stroll around the picturesque model village, including a visit to the church where William Hesketh Lever and his wife, Elizabeth, are laid to rest. After a delightful picnic on the Museum Green, they wound down with some energetic football, cricket, and a well-deserved ice cream. A big thank you to Mrs. Mumford for capturing these great moments!

At Co-op Academy Portland, 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.
