This is the last week for our year 11 students, who will have their official last day on Friday and only return for revision sessions and exams. I would like to wish them the best of luck with their exams and look forward to seeing lots of them in the sixth form next year.

We are also looking forward to welcoming the students who will be joining us in September, as well as meeting year 5 parents who are interested in their children joining the academy next year. Prospective parents can find all of the dates they need on our admissions page.

Next Friday is Galactic Towel Day - celebrated around the world in honour of the work of Douglas Adams. 

To mark the occasion, Mr Wood is running a competition to come up with the most imaginative use of a towel. The prize will be a digital watch.

Pupils who wish to enter should email their suggestions to Mr Wood or take them to the science workroom. The winner will be announced next Friday.

Please keep us informed of any changes of address, landline or mobile numbers and e-mail address. Changes should be sent to schooloffice@arnold-hill.notts.sch.uk.

Last week pupils from Arnold View made an eco friendly notebook as part of primary liaison.
 

The session on recycling looked at the importance of conserving natural resources and saw pupils make a notebook cover from carrier bags and food wrappers. Children choose pieces of plastic with interesting patterns, arranged them into a design and then put them in the heat press to create a plastic cover.
 

This is a fun session which encourages children to think about the environmental impact of products as well as building key technology skills.
