FOREVER MANCHESTER WEEK

Manchester Health Academy is celebrating Manchester this week. We have a programme of fun Manchester-themed activities including: Hacienda Ravercise, running the Mancunian Way (equivalent distance, not on the actual Mancunian Way!), Red vs Blue Football, Manchester Street

Games and Glow in the Dark events. Throughout the week we will be running a Manchester themed

art competition. Students are invited to create a drawing, poem, rap, music or even a video which describes our great city. Prizes include a signed Wayne Rooney shirt, a luxury art set and Manchester United Museum and tour tickets. Winning entries will also be displayed in the Academy. As part of the event we will be fundraising for the Forever Manchester Charity.

Eight members of Manchester Health Academy staff have smashed their £1000 fundraising target at the Great Manchester Run, raising a whopping £1185 for Manchester’s Christie Hospital. Thank you to all those who have already given. For those who would like to donate, there is still time on the group’s JustGiving page. Well done to Mr Green, Mr Jones, Miss Dickinson, Miss Morris, Miss Lister, Miss O’Donnell, Mrs Maguire and Miss Mullen.

Principal, Mr Owen, and Chair of Governors, Mr Cain, also ran the event in memory of former Academy Governor Steve Mycio who passed away earlier this year, raising funds for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Remember: We have a collection of past exam papers for Year 11s to use for revision. These can be accessed on the main school website under ‘Parent, Carers and Students’ where you will see ‘Information for Students’. Here you will find a tab for ’Year 11 Past Revision Papers’ which takes you to a page of links for past exam papers for all subject areas.

Please encourage your Year 11 child to make the most of this valuable resource in preparation for their exams.

What’s my Read?What’s my Read? Each week we will share a review

of a book which a student or member of staff is currently reading.

This week…

A Year 7 student reviews ‘The Vampire Academy’ series, by

Richelle Mead.

The series, which is made up of six main books as well as several short stories, is about a community of vampires and half-human/ half-vampires (dhampirs) and how they differ from human society. The series is from the point of Rose Hathaway, a seventeen year old dhampir who is in training to become a guardian. The book is about a massive group of dhampirs who protect the living, magic-wielding vampires - the moroi, from the evil, immortal vampires - the strigoi.

Rose is met by all sorts of obstacles through the series such as falling in love with her instructor.

You instantly fall in love with the characters, which means you stay 100% invested in the lives the author is portraying.

I recommend the series to everyone, especially those who enjoy novels that contain lots of comedy, romance, fantasy and a little bit of horror.

A group of year 7 students will be selling badges for 50p today to raise money for the Red Cross. We will let you know how much was raised in the next newsletter.
