The Nursery class has been celebrating Chinese New Year. Miss Lee (our Year 5
teacher) came to visit the Nursery class and told them all about what would be
happening in her house on the first day of Chinese New Year. The children all made
their own dancing dragons and ended the day with a dragon dance in the classroom.
Languages and Food Technology
Year 9 groups have recently enjoyed cross-curricular lessons with Languages and Food Technology.
9A2 watched Mrs Thomas demonstrate how to make egg fried rice in celebration of Chinese New
Year. Miss Cunningham translated the ingredients, equipment and method into German as Mrs
Thomas cooked. The pupils sampled the rice dish and even tried out using chopsticks! The pupils
then made their own egg fried rice in their next Food Technology lesson.
9B2 have also been studying ‘food and cooking’ in their language lessons. As part of their learning
they have watched the film ‘Ratatouille’ to help them recognise French words for ingredients and
cooking skills. The pupils made delicious ratatouille dishes in their Food Technology lesson whilst Mr
Hofton tested them on their French knowledge!
SKI TRIP T0 SERRE CHEVALIER, FRANCE
FEBRUARY 2010
Staff and students left WHGS on Friday, 12th February to travel to France for the annual Ski
Trip. After a long journey, they arrived in the beautiful resort of Serre Chevalier. Ski
lessons started on the Sunday and the group was split by ability into Absolute Beginners,
Advanced Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. Mr Richardson, who was unable to ski
due to a sports injury, spent his days walking up and down the slopes helping the Beginners
to stay on their feet! Various après-ski activities were enjoyed in the evenings. The ladies
were treated to a spa session whilst the boys managed to watch a football match. Ice
skating was also enjoyed by a number of staff and students, however, Mr MacCallum and
Mrs Kerins will not be invited to perform on ‘Dancing On Ice’! The students would like to
thank the staff who accompanied them on this excellent and very enjoyable trip!

PREFECTS’ CHARITIES WEEK

Forthcoming Event
Prefects’ Review April 2010
th
CCF
On Saturday, 27 February, 2010 the Combined Cadet Force was guests of Levenshulme British
Legion and the Lord Mayor of Manchester. The CCF were publically thanked for the thousands of
pounds it had raised over the last 10 years for the Poppy Appeal. CSM Warren Moore and CSgt
Abi Bryant, our two heads of school, were presented with a framed certificate of thanks on behalf of
the staff/students. Mr P Mulholland and Lt Col M P Jones also attended the event. It is a credit to
the whole school that the CCF NCO’s/Prefects and all cadets and students over the years have
raised so much money. Well done everyone!
The children in the Primary Phase were invited to come to school dressed as a character
from a Roald Dahl book. We had a variety of Willy Wonkas, a stunning Aunt Spike, various
Oompaloompahs, a Roly Poly Bird, Mr & Mrs Twit, Mike Teavee and an incredible Fantastic
Fox! Yr 2 won the prize for the ‘best cheer’! Please look out for more photographs in our
next edition!
