Nursery children have been having lots of fun wearing their Christmas jumpers yesterday.

This term, every week we will be looking at children’s attendance and all those children who have 100% attendance for the week will be put in to a draw to win 10 Dojos. There will be one random winner from each class.  To ensure your child is entered into this weekly draw, all you have to do is make sure they are in school on time every day.  Thank you for your continued support.

A reminder that meal patterns are set per half term. You cannot swap or change in between. If you wish for your child’s meal pattern to change after Christmas then you must email the school office: office@marlandhill.rochdale.sch.uk no later than Thursday 21st December. Thank you for your continued support.

The Christmas Lunch will be taking place on Wednesday 20th December. If your child normally has a packed lunch and wishes to have a Christmas lunch then please email the school: office@marlandhill.rochdale.sch.uk no later than today. After this we will not be able to put any orders through. Thank you.

 This term, in geography, year 5 have been learning about South America with a particular focus on Brazil.  The children have been able to use maps to explore different biomes and use their geographical skills to locate human and physical features using grid references.

In art, the children have spent some time exploring the work of the contemporary Brazilian artisit, Beatriz Milhazes.  The children have then taken elements of this artist's inspirational work to create their very own collage using geometric shapes and different materials. 

In science, we have been investigating everyday materials. The children have been carrying out experiments to see how quickly different materials dissolve in water.  We have also been studying the differences between reversible and irreversible changes.

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