As part of their History topic, Year 4 will be having a visit from the Balestra Living History Project who will be doing a workshop named: The Roman Britain Primary History workshop. This will take place on Tuesday 10^th February. This is an exciting opportunity for the children.

On the day the children will be taking part in different workshops led by a Roman expert. They will have the chance to handle Roman artefacts and will be trained like Roman soldiers. The children will have the opportunity to use equipment to create different army formations. The children will also create an  interactive timeline. This will be a full day workshop. For more information please visit: www.romanschoolworkshop.co.uk

School will be heavily subsiding the cost, we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £4. You can pay for this on parent mail by going to  payments/shop.

There will be a new KS2 music after school club starting after February half term– every Tuesday 3.10pm-3.50pm.

Places are limited and are on a first come first served basis, there is no cost. As the children will be learning and practising to take part in an opera performance it is important that children attend weekly.

Please go to parent mail/payments/shop to book a place.

Thank you.

Please remind children to bring in their water bottles, clearly labelled with their name on it. Thank you.

We still have places for the KS2 Choir on Thursdays until 4pm. Places are free.

If you are interested you can email school:                                       office@marlandhill.rochdale.sch.uk.

Thank you.

Below are the weekly attendance winners for each class. Please help support this achievement by reminding our winners and parents that they are to look after the prizes and they must be returned to school on Monday.

Please note that we do have Calpol in school to administer to children who may be poorly or in pain, however this is only in cases of emergency and cannot be given routinely. We would advise that if you know your child needs pain relief, where possible, please give your child some before school time or leave some at the office and we will label.

If your child is unwell during the school day, we will call you to discuss further.

Thank you for your support with this matter.
