Our academy was full of excitement as pupils and staff celebrated World Book Day dressed as their favourite book characters, bringing much-loved stories to life. Children brought in their favourite books and enjoyed sharing them with others across the academy, discovering new stories and authors along the way.
Pupils also set themselves a personal reading challenge, choosing goals that inspired them—whether trying a new genre or reading more often. We also launched our whole-academy reading challenges to encourage a continued love of reading throughout the term.
World Book Day was a wonderful reminder of how books spark imagination, creativity, and connection within our school community
Children from across the Trust recently took part in an exciting orienteering festival at Holbech Primary Academy, where they developed key navigation skills such as map reading and route planning. The pupils engaged in a range of problem-solving activities, working collaboratively to communicate ideas and support one another. They also participated in a variety of team-based orienteering challenges and relays, showing enthusiasm, resilience and strong teamwork throughout. The event provided a valuable opportunity for outdoor learning, combining physical activity with skill development in a fun and engaging environment.
Pupils at Holbeach Bank Academy and Holbeach Primary Academy created a fantastic floral display for this weekend’s flower festival at Holbeach All Saints Church with the theme of athletics. We are super proud of their creativity.
We are pleased to announce the dates for this year’s Sports Mornings which will be held in the academy. Look out for more information coming home over the next few weeks!
National poetry day
Our academy will be taking part in a poetry competition as part of the nationwide celebration of National Poetry Day. This year, National Poetry Day is on Thursday, 2nd October.
Our competition, titled “I have a Dream,” will give every KS2 pupil a chance to write their own poem. On Thursday, 2nd October, all pupils will spend time in class writing and exploring this important theme. We’ll be encouraging them to think about their own hopes and dreams for the future and how they can express those thoughts through creative language.
The best part of this competition is the potential for your child to become a published author! The winning poems from our academy will be submitted, where they will be judged alongside thousands of other entries from across the country. A selection of the best poems will be chosen for publication in a book
