Congratulations to staff and pupils for supporting Children in Need. We held a non-uniform day and pupils in 7NL held a sponsored silence. Together we raised an amazing £2006.49. Well Done.

Well done to this term’s ‘Chef of the Term’ Emily Pountain 8CD and Jack Belcher 9VS for showing excellent practical skills and producing fantastic dishes.

Calling all budding animators….Manchester University is running its annual competition for anyone who likes to create animations. They want school pupils aged between 7-19 years to create a one minute animation on the topic of your choice. You can create your animations using any of the following programs: Alice, Blender, Scratch, Flash, Serif DrawPlus, Swish Max 4, and KoolMoves. If you would like to have a go and get involved, please see Miss McGiffen in Room 113 for more details on how to enter. All entrants will receive certificates and you could win fantastic prizes like Amazon vouchers, music players, laptops, and tablets.
