Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs

This is a great film and everyone has voted it

5 STARS!!!!

It is about a man who is an inventor and creates a weather machine, so he makes it rain MEATBALLS!

It’s computer animated into a great comedy film with Steve, Sam & Flint as the main characters. In the film Flint made a weather machine when he was young. When he grows up he makes a lot more money than he did working with Tim (his dad) in a bait shop because the mayor pays him to control the weather. Eventually it goes wrong because the food that rains gets bigger, so does the mayor!!!

Flint might die - watch to find out!

Centre Parcs

Center Parcs is a holiday centre. It is really fun! You can go bike riding, swimming, canoeing and rock climbing. It is a fun place for all the family because you can relax and go to the spa or you can have fun and go to the park. It is great for all ages! I love the different parks there are: Longleat Forest, Elveden Forest, Sherwood Forest, and another one is Whinfell Forest. The one that is closest to us is Longleat. If you go I hope you like the best fun holiday park in the world!!!

Haiti Emergency Disaster non uniform day!

On the 22nd of January we had a non uniform day for the Haiti Emergency Disaster. We had a target of £250 and we raised £910! We were very proud of our school and hopefully all the money we have raised will really help the people of Haiti! Mr Carson was so pleased with all of us and the teachers also. Mrs Gosney’s class went to Intech but still brought in the money for Haiti and had their non uniform day on the next Friday. The last thing I need to say is a very BIG THANK YOU!!

Echo Journalist goes back to school!

On Tuesday the 26th of January, Echo Journalist Jon Reeve arrived for a visit at Orchard School. He met the journalism club, who gave him the third degree! Questions varied from asking how to find stories, to a moral dilemma of wheter you would write about a newsworthy item that involves your friends or family. After the interview he talked to Miss Mulley.  She told us, “He said he was very impressed with the questions you asked; and that you were the most switched on and interesting club he’s visited.” Well done Journalism club!
