Calling all writers,

I am looking for young journalists to produce news articles for our school newspaper. I am looking for a range of news stories, which could be about current affairs or about local events. You might want to report on politics, sport, art and culture, entertainment or human-interest stories. If you would like your story to be published in the first edition of the HT herald then email your story to tracey.james@holytrinity.sandwell.sch.uk by 3^rd July 2020.

Look forward to reading your articles.

Miss James 

Calling all budding artists!

JK Rowling has released a brand new story for free called "The Ickabog". It begins with King Fred the Fearless, ruler of Cornucopia, and five-year-old Bert Beamish, and readers are also introduced to the myth of a fearsome monster called The Ickabog.

The majority of Cornucopia was a "magically rich land" with happy people and lots of delicious food. However, those dwelling on the northern tip, known as the Marshlanders, lived on scraps. They had "rough voices, which the other Cornucopians imitated" and were teased about "their manners and their simplicity". Who will save them from The Ickabog?

New chapters are released every week and the exciting part if that your illustrations could become part of the book when it is published. JK Rowling suggests pictures for you to draw each week and then they can be entered into a competition. 

So get reading and get inspired with your drawings and email them to your class teacher when you are done so we can all see your amazing Ickabogs! The link to the story can be found below.

Our big question this term has been : How can we make Sandwell a more respectful community?

We have been exploring the different religions and how our community includes everyone and the advantages of a multi-cultural society. Your task now is to design a community hall that all faiths and members of the public can use. 

You need to think about:

• how each faith worships
• communal areas 
• preparation of food and different dietary requirements for each faith 
• outside spaces which could be used for meditation etc.. 

You need to draw a plan for this building and label each section. You then can create your building however you can. Then you need to evaluate how effective your building is and how it includes all religions.
