Year 5 Skier Bella Ranked 5th in UK U/10’s

Bella belongs to Ambition race team which is linked to the GBR Snow Sport England and mostly trains at the Chill Factore in Manchester on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings at 6am.

Since October last year Bella has been training with Ambition in Austria, Leogang. Ambition has a house for the ski team to live in during training season, Haus Tirol, which is where Bella recently stayed for the first time and really enjoyed training full time with her team. Bella’s day involved starting training at 8am on the slopes and then attending school from 2-5pm.

On the 3rd of February Bella and the Ambition team left Leogang in Austria to travel to the Alpine championships in Bormio Italy. Bella and the team left very early and the journey took around 6 hours.

Ambition racing won the English Alpine Championships as a team which is fantastic. Bella had two slalom races and is now ranked 5th in the UK for the under 10’s which is an amazing achievement!

Mandarin and Art Group Visit Terracotta Exhibition

On Wednesday 7th March, Mrs Blagbrough and Miss McWatt led a successful trip, taking the Mandarin Group and Art Group to visit the Terracotta Exhibition, held at the World Museum in Liverpool. Everyone was very excited, as this special event has come to the North West for the first time in 12 years!
The students were thoroughly amazed by the delicate displays and the fine selection of statues, armour and bronze ware dating from over 2,500 years ago. Whilst the students were given the opportunity to appreciate the fine art and craftsmanship, they were also fascinated by the rich history, philosophy and ancient Chinese beliefs.

Joint School Eco Council Meeting

On Thursday 22nd February, the MTJBS Eco Council walked to Stanfield to meet with their Eco Council to discuss and share ideas on current topics we are all working on at the moment, previous projects we have completed and future projects we intend to look into.

We met in the meeting room and had a very successful discussion with both the boys and girls contributing. Amongst our discussions, the girls gave the boys some ideas about their ‘walk to school week’ and ‘healthy eating’ topic and the boys shared their views on their Energy Owl and Eco Code.

We will meet again in the Summer term to hear our next updates! Listen out for whole school projects coming soon!
