The Gorseland Times
February 2013
Written by the children for the whole school community GORSELAND TIMES the best newspaper in the world!!
ISSUE 5 February 2013
For the first time, an issue of The Gorseland Times contains an article for every class, which is something we would like to continue each half term. The long-term plan is to combine the articles into a yearbook for each class, which the children take with them as they join a new teacher until they have a full record of their learning in Year 6. We are hoping this will be a great memory aid for their learning. The first half of the Spring Term was short (only 29 school days) but there were several highlights. For many people, the snow was an exciting time. The sight of a variety of snow sculptures around the school made me wonder whether they came to life at night and had a party. This term’s learning has featured pets in school (p.6-8), burning buildings (p.10-12), a Mission to Mars (p.28) and more sporting success (p.3032). We hope you enjoy reading the articles about the children written by the children.
