Nursery classes went to visit Smithills Farm in Bolton on Tuesday and Wednesday this week and Reception went to visit Cronkshaw Fold Farm in Rossendale. They had a lovely time meeting the farm animals.

This morning in celebration assembly we celebrated the achievements of our students across the school. Mrs Cunningham was proud to present:

 

Early Years - Deacon Baron 
For partitioning two digit numbers in maths.

 

Key Stage 1 - Zaid Anwar 
For fantastic effort in all of his work and great behaviour. His main achievement has been for his amazing joined up handwriting, something which he has tried really hard to develop.

 

Lower KS2 - Lily Hulme 
For outstanding art work.

 

Upper Key Stage 2 - Reem Naiem in Year 6 
For her excellent attitude towards all her work and, in particular, the talent she shows in her art work.

 

Year 4 Swimmers
A number of our Year 4 swimmers from last term received their swimming certificates.
Please see our celebration Assembly page under news and information for our Celebration Assembly video.

 

Well done to all!

The annual IPLCN Song Festival was held at Marland Hill Primary School on Wednesday morning.  All of the eleven primary schools from the IPLCN were invited to the event at Marland Hill.  It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to all come together and have the opportunity to share and celebrate their singing talents with other schools.   A huge thank you to Mr Rimmer for organising the event and to the Rochdale Music Service for providing the musical accompaniment.  

On Tuesday this week we held our Community Cohesion day at Marland Hill.  Children from Marland Hill worked alongside children from Hamer Primary School, Lowerplace  Primary School and students from Rochdale Sixth Form College.  Throughout the day the children worked with a local magistrate and the local Police to give the children insight into the British justice and legal system as part of the Community Cohesion project and work around British Values.  

A thoroughly enjoyable day was had by all!

Thank you to everyone who came dressed as a book character for World Book Day. You all made such a fabulous effort and we hope you enjoyed the 'David Walliams' themed week.

We sent your child home with a World Book Day £1 voucher this week. To redeem the voucher, all you need to do is take it to a local book shop that is participating in World Book Day and swap it for one of the ten (exclusive, new and completely free) World Book Day books. Or you can use your book voucher  to get £1 off any full price book instead. The vouchers are valid from Monday 27 February - Sunday 26 March 2017.

Well done to Year 1 and 2 for their fabulous performances and singing in the 'Pirates Vs Mermaids Concerts. Their costumes looked fantastic. Thank you to all the parents and carers for helping with the costumes  and for coming along to watch the shows  - we had an amazing turnout.

What a fantastic evening! Tickets were a sell out. Thanks to everyone who came to our Footballers and Fairies Disco last week and a big thank you to the parents and organisers.  As you can see it was a fun night.

Each year group have produced a newsletter for parents which outlines curriculum coverage this year and other useful information from your child's class teacher. 

Nursery, Reception and Year 5 are expected to send theirs out shortly.

Copies are available from the school office and on the class pages of the website which is under the children section.

Well done to the children who competed in the Rochdale Schools Five-a-Side Competition. Their names were read out in Celebration Assembly, last Friday, where they received their medals and a trophy for their fantastic team playing. 

Well done to Year 6 for participating in Young Voices on Thursday night. They had an amazing evening and it was lovely to see our children and staff thoroughly enjoying themselves.
