Dear Parents and Carers,

As we near the end of another fantastic half term, school is a busy as ever!

We close for the Easter break on Wednesday at 3pm. Although it is a short

week, learning continues as usual.

We have been supporting Sport Relief this week and the PE faculty have

arranged many events such as Run to Russia, 10 mile Challenge and Tough

Runner Obstacle Course, in which I am taking part! Staff and pupils have

been involved in all the events and we hope to have raised lots of money for

this good cause. Read all about it in our next newsletter.

Manchester United Foundation work closely with our school and they have

held a variety of events this week that some of our pupils have been lucky

enough to attend. These events are to enable the children to experience a

wide range of experiences from future employability and leadership to the

many sporting events that Mr Buckley (who works for the Foundation)

organises for the school.

Don’t forget our Coffee Evening on Wednesday 28th March which will run

from 4.00 pm until 5.30 pm. We are discussing the very important topic of

Safeguarding. I hope you can make it!

Enjoy the rest of the articles in this week’s edition, and I wish you and your families a happy Easter break. School opens again to pupils on Monday 16th April.

Yours sincerely

Ms S Finlay

Headteacher

Safeguarding Tip:

Headteacher Commendation

Orlando in Year 7 has written his own Shakespeare quote book for extra homework. Very impressive!

Aneesha, Musa and Nimra in Year 9 learn how using maths is a vital part of being an air traffic controller.

The Year 7 attendance still continues to be the best across the year groups. Well done!




Year 9 News

Year 9 pupils travelled to Manchester United training ground 'The Cliff' to participate in a Manchester United Foundation Army Leadership event this week. On the day, those who took part were put through their paces in a series of activities which required physical endurance, intelligence and cooperation.

This week the Year 8s have been taking part in the Sports Relief celebrations. We have had excellent effort in PE lessons with a particular mention to the boys in Rylands form who went the extra mile during the ‘Run to Russia’ during their PE lessons.

Those who took part played excellently and finished the competition winning one, drawing two and losing one game. Well done to all of those involved. Hopefully future rugby successes are on the horizon!

Science

Mrs Awais from the Science faculty ran a workshop for parents on 8th

March. This was to show them the resources available for pupils and parents to use for homework and revision. The workshop showed parents how to access their child's Pearson Active Learn account as well as use the online textbooks and quizzes. This is a resource that is always available for homework and any extra revision pupils may want to do. Parents can also use the Active Learn to go through any topics at home when pupils are finding anything difficult.

The workshop also outlined the use of knowledge organisers, learning plans and the Science revision organisers. All of these resources can be used by pupils and parents to keep track of current process in modules or to design revision quizzes, flash cards and mind maps. The workshop was well received by the attending parents and all found it extremely helpful.




MFL

Now that the Spring tests have are finished, it is back to business with the

half term 4 topics. For Year 7 Spanish, pupils are doing sports while Year 7

French learners are talking about Paris, the capital of France. Meanwhile in

Year 8, pupils are learning about food and Year 9 are finishing the

cyberbullying topic. For extra support at home, log onto Memrise to practice

the key vocabulary of the topics!

Another great website to help with revision is “Linguascope” Make sure you

get a Linguascope Pass from your teachers and come to “Linguascope

Club” on Tuesday lunchtimes.
