Half term coming

As many of you will know, its time to go on our half term again!
School will end at 2:20 on Friday 28th May.
So here at G-mag we wish you all a great half term :)

It's time for a change

It is also the time that we make changes within the team. This is where we are going to say our good byes, and our hello's.
The Team will be saying good bye to our year 11 members,
and we will be saying hello to the new members that will joining in September, and also the people that will be stepping into new roles.
It is great how the pupils of our school, get to have say in what we do and we also get to run our own magazine, this magazine is written by the pupils for the pupils.
So lets keep that in mind and wish everyone Good luck :)

The end has come!

It't the time of year that we say bye to our year 11's.
On Friday 28th May our year 11's will be leaving us.
We would like to wish them luck in their exams that will be coming up in June. Even though some of them have started already, sprits are high within the year, with mixed feelings about leaving, but we can say that the class of 2010, have been a great year group. They have done so much and every year has something different about them, and this years, year 11, were involed in the school alot. We shell miss them here at Greendown, but we hope that they go on to bigger and better things :)

Fashion Update!

As we all know, summer is coming and the weather is starting to warm up. Time to find out what's hot and what's not for both boys and girls.

Florals are in for the girls - bright, colourful flowers. Maxi dresses are great for very hot days - these work for both casual and formal.

Sunglasses are back, especially the big and bulky ones. The reflective type are best for the guys.
Pumps are in! Especially with 3/4 length jeans! But with men, knee shorts. Do not wear socks with sandals!

So, when you hit the beach during summer, you'll look and feel smoking hot!
