This week at Co-op Academy Hillside
Year 2's Liverpool vs. Shanghai Deep Dive!
Year 2 had a fantastic afternoon diving into why people visit Liverpool as part of our "Liverpool vs. Shanghai" topic. We uncovered some fascinating facts, including that these two vibrant places are "Twin Cities"!
We explored a whole host of attractions, deciding which ones we'd love to visit most. Plus, we had great discussions about both physical and human features that make each city unique.
A Heartfelt Thanks for Our Wonderful Summer Fair!
We had a truly fantastic time at our summer fair, and it's all thanks to our amazing staff and everyone who came out to support us! Your presence made it a truly special event.
A "Smooth" Tuesday for Year 4!
What a Tuesday it was for our Year 4 pupils! This morning, they had a special visit from Innocent Smoothies, all the way from their London head offices, who delivered a fantastic smoothie-making workshop. The children got to taste-test many of their most popular smoothies before unleashing their creativity to design and make their very own!
And just when they thought the day couldn't get any better, they had another delightful surprise: a visit from Mrs. Clayton and adorable baby Louie! Isn't he just precious?
Reception's Deep Dive: A Blue Planet Adventure!
Reception had the best time at the Blue Planet Aquarium today with our friends from Co-op Academy Woodslee and Co-op Academy Portland. We saw so many marine creatures and got to looks at their habitats. We have been learning about them at school at the moment so to see them up close was a brilliant experience!Impressive Skills: Year 5's Budding Engineers!
I think we may have some engineers of tge future in our Year 5 class. The skill they demonstrated was very impressive!

This week we have said a sad goodbye to Mrs Haworth and Bethany as they jet off to start a new life in Portugal. We are so grateful to Mrs Haworth for the amazing contribution she has made to our Nursery Class and we will miss them both very much!
Another half-term comes to an end at Hillside. It has been busy and fun-filled from start to finish. We have loved spending more time outdoors exploring our beautiful grounds in the sunshine. Lots of our pupils have enjoyed extra-curricular clubs, from gardening to sports, craft to games. A new set of clubs will be available to book on to from the second week back - all free and more details to follow.

This week at Co-op Academy Hillside
Running with Heart: A Pupil’s Inspiring Achievement
📢 Pupil Shoutout! 📢
We couldn’t be prouder of this incredible young man! Over the weekend, he took part in the Race for Life, completing a challenging 5K muddy course in just 36 minutes. Even more inspiring, he’s already raised an amazing £175 for Cancer Research! He truly embodies our ‘Show You Care’ value.
Well done — what a fantastic achievement! 🌟
Leaping, Learning, and Measuring Success
Year 6 enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon combining PE with Maths, as they practiced long jumps, measured distances, and collected data. A fantastic example of using maths in real-life contexts — well done, Year 6!
Special Moments and a Surprising Guest!
Today in Year 4, our PSHE lesson featured a lively show and tell session, where we explored the people and things that are special to each of us. The highlight? A surprise visit from one pupil’s pet frog!
