Sports relief a success!

Many people were very tired after school last Friday because it was sport relief and people decided to either run, walk, 3 legged, fancy dress or other things that they decided to do for a mile.

Pupils could Pay either £1 to wear non school uniform in the afternoon to take part in the mile, or you could pay £2 for the sports relief socks.

All in all, sports relief turned out to be a success and we must have raised a lot of money for such a great afternoon!

Greendown has new building plans!

May of you wont be aware that Greendown are getting a new building! G-mag sent me (Josh) and one of its new reporters (Hannah) to interview the architects:

''Why are you building a new building?''

The school has been recognised that it needs a place for children with particular needs to be able to have the same facilities as other specialist schools in England.

''How much is it costing the school to build?''

The project wont cost the school anything.

''How much will it cost 'you' to build?''

Its costing us around half a million pounds to build but we cant give definite cost as its confidential.

''How many rooms will the building have?''

It will have:
2 teaching rooms
2 group rooms
Office space
Toilets
Break time space with lighting.

''who picked you to manage the project''

Capita architects (us) have a partnership with the council, we provide them with services and they have asked us to build your school the new building.

''Where will you be building this new building?''

It will be built where the bike sheds are located at the moment, the bike sheds will be moved to another area at the front of the school (still easy to access). The new building's area will have no distractions from other students and will be close enough to the main school building for them to feel part of the school.

Spring Fashion

This season we all want to look good! But here's the right way to do it :)

• Flowery patterns/prints make you stand out of the crowd and show you aren't afraid to try new things.
• Jeggings are comfortable, they look good, and they go with all the shoes and tops in your wardrobe.
• Triangle scarfes are back! cool and they stand out :)
• Chunky jewellery compliments your outfit as long as it matches!
• Hair dye is great, it is a good change and makes you stand out!
• A new hair cut, makes you feel good but make sure it suits your face shape.
• Make-up natural is the key. make sure you blend your foundation in.
• Lipgloss, shiny fruity and clear, makes your lips look hydrated(dry lips equals but NO NO!) and lushous.
• 'Use loreal because we're worth it'
• Always remember to work it!

C'mon girls let's say it! because We're worth it!

Bitz 'n' Bytez

Bitz 'n' Bytes is a new club for years 7 - 9 that is on every lunchtime in the English block, room B2.13. This is a room where you can come and relax, play games and do many other things. It has been set up by half of the BAF diploma team and so it is completely in the control of the students. Beth Mitchell, Ben Woodley, George Leahy, Lawrence Campin and myself set up and run the club, with each of us appearing at different lunchtimes to supervise what you are doing.

This club will continue until March 9th at definite, shutting on the 10th, so that we can have a meeting and assess the club's success. Your feedback in the club is very important to us, so we hope that you come along and talk to us. We will try our best to improve but we have to consider a lot of things first. If you have any questions about the club, you can visit us at lunch time in B2.13 or visit H1.9 in tutor time and ask for Chris Margetts.
