Students from three classes in Year 10 and 11 have been joining together to learn how to digitally animate films. They have modelled characters and produced some excellent animated features. Particular praise should go to Liam who animated an impressive film, a future career perhaps! 4E and 4R this week are going to visit the garden centre, as ‘Weather and Climate’ is this half term’s topic. Nathan S from Miss Greenhalgh’s class is to start his work experience at Queens Park in Heywood. Good Luck Nathan—enjoy it.

The Bridging group have been on some College taster days to gain experience of the courses they will be attending shortly. 4M pupils will be also going attending a taster day in brick-laying at college so they can see what kinds of classes they will be doing in September.

The pupils who won the Roll of honour for last week are: All of class 4C, Tonya, Tommy H, Jodie , Ragnar, Maddiya, Declan, Joshua , Andrew and Alex. Well done everyone.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored David Butterworth for the Great North Swim, he completed the mile in 29.09 minutes and finished 688 out of over 10,000 competitors. All the money raised will go to outdoor seating for our young people to use at breaks and lunch times.
