A busy week!
All hands on deck this week for Salterford House School. If you haven't got your tickets for the performances, please see Mrs Parker at the school office. They are selling like hot cakes.
We still require donations for the raffle. There are boxes dotted around school.
Year Six Only
If you go to this page you will find a range of resources for 7- 11 year olds. The one you are looking for is the MARVELLOUS MINIBEASTS- DESIGN A SPECIES. Click on the powerpoint presentation and look at it carefully.
Your task is to design a new species of insect after looking at examples of some existing mini beasts.
Use a double page of your learning log to draw the design. Make sure that the labels you include tell me about the features and why they are useful. Use the powerpoint example as a model for success.
Remember that it is a good idea to try to use the flaps etc on your mini beast design if you can…..
You have until the end of term to create and design your new mini beast……… I wonder which ones will be successful!!!

About Emmanuel House
Founded in faith in 1976 by Father Roger Killeen, Emmanuel House exists to support homeless, vulnerable or isolated adults in and around Nottingham. Our history centres around supporting the most vulnerable citizens in Nottingham without prejudice or judgement; with that in mind, we strive to provide diverse and accessible services that meet basic need and empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives.
We welcome between 60-90 visitors each weekday and 30-50 on weekends. This equates to almost 2000 visits a month, with approximately 200 new visitors each year, all of whom have complex and multiple needs. With roughly 70 hot meals a day being served, we provide the basic needs for homeless & vulnerably housed adults in Nottingham. We currently have 22 members of staff and over 70 volunteers who regular support the organisation.
Emmanuel House provides further support and services including tenancies, benefits, mental health support, training and workshops, drug & alcohol support, a daily nurse and a core programme of social activities. We also have an onsite charity shop, which brings in much needed income for Emmanuel House and is a place for service users to gain first hand work experience.
Emmanuel House has always prided itself on providing a safe and supportive environment whilst working towards practical solutions that meet the individuals needs.

Following on from last week, Mr Britten has another video of the Great North Run. Watch it carefully! It's like a game of Where's Wally. It you watch very carefully you might be able to spot Mr Britten at various parts of the course. This picture may help -

Cranedale 2015 Day 4
Cranedale 2015
Day 4
Breakfast - The children were looking tired this morning but still managed to fill up on a choice of cereal, toast, juice, bacon, sausage, egg, beans and hash browns.
We spent the first part of the morning returning to the traps we set last night. There was a moth trap and five small mammal traps - all humane. From these traps we managed to catch the sum total of one moth! Luckily, we happen to find a moth sitting on a wheelbarrow next to the moth trap. Ellie was terrified - I think she thought the moth was mocking us.
Today's main focus was adaptation. The children spent most of the day on the North Yorkshire Moors. This included a two mile walk over various terrain and a river study. Louis and Benjamin were dressed up as a carnivore and prey. The children had to equip them with various adaptations to survive in the wild. Louis has sharp teeth, large flippers and an increased lung function. Benjamin had a wooly hat and two feather dusters. Who said science was dull!
Lunch was eaten at the side of a stream and the children had a variety of sandwiches, fruit and a cookie about the size of a football.
After the river study, the children made their way back up the valley and discovered an ancient burial site which Harry thought was a toilet. I think this was due to the fact that there was so much sheep droppings there.
Toilets were very much the main topic of conversation on the moors today. This is due to the lack of them. They boys were fully prepared to have a "wild wee" at every opportunity. The girls took the camel approach and rationed their fluid intake for the entire afternoon.
The last game of the afternoon was called "Fox and Grouse". The object of the game is to avoid being eaten by the fox. The best defence is to hide in the heather. Harmoni's decision to wear a bright pink jumper meant that she was eaten pretty quickly whilst Joe's darker attire proved more successful.
Evening meal
Starter: Tomato soup
Main: Roast pork, roast potatoes, stuffing, peas, carrots, gravy and apple sauce
Dessert: Chocolate sponge cake and cream
Cheese and biscuits
The children spent the evening using microscopes to look closely at some of the creatures captured in the river. This will be followed with the last opportunity to purchase some high quality gifts from the shop although some may prefer to buy a load of sweets instead.
