On Tuesday our Community Cohesion group, along with 8 other pupils from Hamer Primary School, attended an ‘Afternoon with the Mayor’ at the Town Hall. The children were given the opportunity to ask the Mayor a range of questions for the Mayor to answer. The children represented Marland Hill school excellently and they even got a chance to sit in the seats of the Council Chamber!

Please may we ask our parents and carers to be vigilant with children who are using messaging platforms through PS4 and other apps such as Roblox. Parental controls can be set to monitor safety, please ensure that your child is using these safely.  

These will commence week beginning 4th February. Mr Hudson’s class will be going on Tuesday afternoons to Heywood Swimming Pool and Miss Wright’s class will be going on Friday afternoons to Rochdale Swimming Pool. Please ensure your child has suitable kit with them on these days every week: A swimming costume/trunks and a towel.

Letters were sent home last week with your child. Please send in your permission slips asap so your child can take part in these lessons.

This term the theme for our Year 4 topic is ‘Romans’ and they have been busy this week creating some very realistic chariots! We are looking forward to some fantastic examples of ‘Roman’ themed homework for our Year 4 pupils!

We have our new schedule of after school sports clubs ready for the spring term!  Children may participate in the activity selected for their year group, and clubs are rotated between the year groups throughout the year.  All the clubs begin at 3pm and finish at 4:15pm.  Please return the reply slip to school to secure your child's place!  Your child will need a PE kit in school to take part.

A form can be downloaded from our 'Letters Home' section of the website.

Our final week of term has been very festive and busy.  Yesterday we all enjoyed our Christmas lunch, wearing our Christmas jumpers!  Today we had our 'Singing Around The Tree' concert and our children enjoyed their Christmas parties. 

We were also very grateful to receive a visit from H. Bells this week, who kindly donated chocolate selection boxes for the children.  Many thanks to them!
