Health and Social Care trip

The following message was sent to me by Ms Sandhal.

Just a message to say that I thoroughly enjoyed taking the Yr10s out to HollyBank residential home on Tuesday. They were so respectful and well behaved. They approached clients with a mature and positive attitude and were quite generally, great ambassadors for the school!

Well done girls and keep up the good work.

Year 10 BTEC Art and Design work - WOW!

Immunisation

Don't forget to bring your consent forms back to school. See me straight away if you haven't got one. The vaccinations are this week! Nobody ever wants to have them but it makes a lot of sense to be brave and do it.

Nice one!

Keep up the hard work everybody!

* wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year!

The Chinese calendar is different from that used in the United Kingdom. It is made up of a cycle of 12 years with each year named after a different animal. The Chinese New Year starts on February 3rd - it will be the year 4709 according to the Chinese calendar and also the Year of the Rabbit.

Over one sixth of the world's population will celebrate the New Year. Celebrations vary in different parts of the world but the most important idea is to remember family and wish everyone peace and prosperity in the coming year.

Leeds v Arsenal FA Cup replay

Arsenal proved too much for a battling Leeds side in the FA Cup replay at Elland Road.

The atmosphere was electric and the Leeds fans buoyant after a 4-0 win over Scunthorpe but Arsenal were in front within minutes courtesy of a Samir Nasri goal. A second from Bacary Sagna and it looked as if Leeds were out of the Cup until a superb goal by Bradley Johnson stunned the Gunners giving the team and the Leeds fans new hope. There was less to choose between the teams in the second half until Arsenal brought on Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie. A third goal from substitute Van Persie settled the match.

Leeds may have been beaten by a better side but they never gave up and showed the watching TV millions that Leeds Utd are a team on the up.
