Article for this week: Titanic's iconic telegraph 'voice' may be recovered. But some say the salvager is a 'greedy treasure hunter.'
By Tom Metcalfe - Live Science Contributor
March 03, 2020
Frantic distress messages were sent over the machine after the cruise liner slammed into an iceberg in 1912.
Word of the fortnight:
Crepuscular
Relax and focus on your well -being
Make sure you take some time this half-term to relax and do
something fun. Included in this home-learning newsletter are lots of
examples of fun things to do from home or in the local area (whilst
observing social distancing).
Perhaps think about getting stuck into a book, watching a play from
the National Theatre or catching a boxing class with Box Up Crime.
If that doesn't appeal, make sure that you do something that you
find fun.

A Thank you message from a parent...
A parent wanted to pass on his praise for how much work staff are doing with his daughter and all of our students.
He mentioned how reliable we are and are working diligently to comment and feedback on students work, as well as challenging them when completing tasks.
This is really positive news. So well done, it’s really pleasing to hear parents valuing the work that the staff are doing.
Keep up the good work and enjoy half term.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating.
