The #ThisVanCan #cancer awareness roadshow will be visiting the #Rochdale area on the 12th, 13th and 14th March.
❤️ 12 March – Morrisons, Heywood
❤️ 13 March – Tesco Extra, Middleton
❤️ 14 March – Asda Rochdale Superstore

The friendly #NHS team will be on hand to talk to residents about the signs and symptoms of cancer you should look out for, cancer screening and what to do if you’re worried about cancer.
Finding cancer early can make all the difference.
Why not come along and “Get Cancer Clever”?

British Science Week Family Challenge! 🔧

To celebrate British Science Week, we’re inviting our pupils to take part in the “If You Were an Engineer, What Would You Do?” project by Primary Engineer.

💡 Your challenge:
• Think of a problem in the world (big or small)
• Invent something unique to help solve it
• Draw, colour and label your invention (A4 paper)
• Write a short description explaining how it works

Families are encouraged to work together and share ideas!

Please return entries to school by Monday 23rd March 2026.
Your design will be entered into the national Primary Engineer competition.

We’ve seen ideas like “Sea Cleaners” and a “Solar-Powered Blanket” — now it’s time to create something NEW and exciting!

We can’t wait to see our young engineers’ inventions!
