Well done to Zahra and Joshua for being chosen as Breakfast Club Superstars!

In year 5 this week, both classes visited Ordsall Hall and were Tudors for the day! They learnt all about the different lives of the rich and poor people and were able to experiment with different herbs and spices, making their own posies! The children enjoyed a Tudor banquet and even took part in some traditional dances! They had such a wonderful time and learnt so much!

 We have also been looking at the work of Julien Opie and have created portraits in the style of his work! The children have used acetate sheets and chosen contrasting paint colours to create this effective piece of art. Can you guess who the portraits are?

In science, we are looking at how plants reproduce and the children have been able to dissect actual flowers and look at the different parts. The children loved pulling the flowers apart and were able to identify the importance of each element!

We hope you all have a lovely half term break! Stay safe year 5!!

At Marland Hill, we are learning a new sign every week. Why not learn with us at home too!

Every week children that display good manners are chosen to sit at the Captain’s Table for dinner. Well done to the following children that have been selected to sit at the Captain’s Table.

Every week during PE, coaches will be choosing pupils to be their PE superstars of the week. Well done to the following children who were fantastic in PE last week:

The following children have been awarded ‘Star Reader’ and enjoyed going to the ‘Starbooks’ cafe in the library to enjoy a drink and a treat as their reward. Fantastic!

Please can parents take extra care when driving towards school, particularly on the approach to Roch Mills Crescent from Roch Valley Way.

Please can you be really mindful of your speed as there are lots of pedestrians in this area at drop off and pick up times.

Please can parents also be mindful to local residents and not block/park on driveways.

We wish to say goodbye and good luck to Mrs McGlashen.

She has worked here for 18 years. We wish to thank her for all her hard work and dedication to the school and wish her all the best in her new role working for RANS.
