  • Breaking Boundaries Learning Is Everything, Everything Is Learning
    Issue: 11 Breaking Boundaries Learning is Everything, Everything is Learning Date: Friday 22nd March 2019 Dear Parents/ Carers, Welcome to our Newsletter edition 11 of this academic year! As we near the end of March and the end of the spring term the year seems to be speeding up and passing faster each week. Our lovely Y6 students are moving ever closer to their Key Stage 2 tests and they have our admiration - they are working really hard and keeping their smiles and sense of reality too. We have Easter Classes for our Y6 students - a really good way for them to come in, do some fun learning with their friends and our Teachers to make sure they keep the momentum of their progress over the 2 week break. It also takes the pressure off families making sure students revise - instead they can do it here at Greenside with us! Please see the details below or catch up with Daniel Mahara if you have any questions. We are delighted to make the Y6 Head Girl’s & Boy’s latest project come alive. They were very keen to encourage even more of our students to read even more books for pleasure - and none of us would argue with that! We hope by now your daughter/ son has brought home a sponsorship form and we’d love them to combine a reading fest with raising money for charity. Students should have started their Reading Adventure already and have a couple of weeks ​ ​ to read as many books as they can. On Monday 1st April we will be enjoying a Greenside Read together in the afternoon as our final sharing.

With its very first panto, written by Richard Bean, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Joel Horwood, Ché Walker and directed by Steve Marmion, with Stephen Fry as the voice of the giant - the Lyric firmly put Hammersmith on the London panto map with flying carpets, singing cows and dancing rats. Mel Giedroyc, Vikki Stone and Stevie Webb have all joined the Lyric’s pantomime over the years to sing ‘Glory Glory Hammersmith’. The pantomime has launched many new careers through the Panto Ensemble, a group of young performers given training and the experience of taking to the stage to perform, many in their first paid professional roles.

    1 Monthly Performance Pack May 2010 Dan Maynard, Publicist, BBC iPlayer BBC Marketing, Communications & Audiences T. 020 8008 5294 | M. 07912 583654 | [email protected] Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes 2 Monthly summary – May 2010 • May was another strong month for BBC iPlayer, with the highest number of requests for TV and radio programmes to date, boosted by the new series of Doctor Who and General Election coverage. • In total there were 130 million requests across all platforms (both online platforms and devices and BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media TV combined) – 97 million for TV programmes and 33 million for radio programmes. • For TV content, this month Junior Apprentice was in the top 20 along with more usual titles Doctor Who, Outnumbered and EastEnders; whilst for audio requests the Twenty20 World Cup Cricket and Radio 1’s Big Weekend broadcasts were popular. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users is evening out over time in terms of male/female ratio, but remains strongly under-55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer or radio listener’s profile. • On-demand makes up the great majority of TV programme requests (in May, 10% of requests were for live simulcast streams), however about 70% of requests for radio streams are for live programmes, as opposed to on-demand catch-up listening. • BBC iPlayer is used for TV at roughly the same time of day as linear TV viewing, although there is proportionally more daytime and late-peak use. For radio, BBC iPlayer is used far more in daytime than traditional radio listening, which peaks at breakfast-time.
