Fitzjohn's Primary School New Arrivals Booklet Fitzjohn’s Primary School New Arrivals Booklet Things your child will need to know before joining Fitzjohn’s to help make the transition into a new school easier. 1 Welcome to Fitzjohn’s I hope that your time as part of our community will be happy and full of learn- ing. Like any transition, joining a new school can be a challenge. There are not rou- tines to be learnt, new places to discover and new friends to be made. In addi- tion to all of this, depending on where your child has come from, there will be lots of learning that may look different in a different place. This booklet is an attempt to help you to help your child fill in any gaps that they may have. By helping your child at home to quickly get up to speed their learning can progress faster at school. The following pages include facts, skills and knowledge that you child would benefit from before they start. The lists feature things that your child need to have leant already to help them in the year ahead. For example, if your child is starting new in Y3 then please help them to learn and remember the first 300 high frequency words and the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. Read the sections for the year group that they are joining and look at what they should know. Then help them to cover these things during the period of transition. The school staff will also help them in school but we need your help. I hope that you find this booklet useful. Please share its contents with your child and help them to learn the things they need to. Again, welcome to Fitzjohn’s. 2 Safeguarding We want all of our children to be safe.

  • You Have 1000CP
    You are heading to the dark land of Mordor in the realm of Middle-earth. The events that are set to transpire here are some time between the events of the Hobbit and those of the Lord of the Rings but as a whole do not really fit into Tolkien’s canon. Until recently the rangers of Gondor held the Black Gate of Mordor and all was relatively quiet in the land of shadow. Orc activity seemed on the increase and now they have taken back the gate as the first step in consolidating a power that will threaten the whole of Middle-earth. You arrive just as a Gondorian Ranger of the Black Gate called Talion is revived and inhabited by the wraith of the long dead Ñoldorin prince Celebrimbor. Together the two of them will cut a swathe through the ranks of the uruk in a quest to hinder Sauron and avenge Talion’s butchered family. Elsewhere the white wizard Saruman is already looking enviously towards Mordor and has many spies both amongst the people and some of the fauna. Within Mordor the uruks dominate much of the landscape, building great forts and war machines to prepare for the wars to come. The Rangers of the Black Gate are all but destroyed but remnants within the Outcasts of Udûn hold desperately to their lives and freedom. The vast amount of the human population of Mordor has been enslaved but the Tribesmen of Núrn in the southeast continue to resist the orcs. The shadow of Mount Doom falls upon you.

COMICS characters, strips & comic books. TOON GODS British animators & illustrators. "Come to a world of great wonder and merriment, Borne out of magic, its' name Muddle Earth . " You'll find monsters and mayhem and more in this animated series based upon Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell's bestselling fantasy book. Muddle Earth is a twisted version of Tolkein's Middle Earth, from "Lord of the Rings", and it's inhabited by a host of daft wizards, trolls, faeries, dragons and characters that have become a staple of the High Fantasy genre. Thus we have Randalf the defuddled Wizard and his young asistant Newt, Horned Baron Smink and his Head Gardener-turned-Manservant Benson, a friendly troll-being known as Not-Very-Big Norbert (who really is quite big), and so on. Ruling over this daft domain is the evil blue teddy bear that is - gulp - Dr. Cuddles. The original book featured one singular story told in three parts, in keeping with its Tolkeinesque parody. It tells of an ordinary boy called Joe, who is summoned to Muddle Earth to become a warrior-hero, whereupon his adventures bring him into contact with the denizens of this magical realm. But this animated series dismisses Joe and his quest, and instead tells singular, standalone, Muddle Earth stories, usually with Randalf the Wizard, Newt and Norbert at the heart of them. Tim Harper and Vincent James (Philbert Frog ) were drafted in to direct, with Phil Chalk producing.

  • Fishes of Middle-Earth
    Fishes of Middle-Earth A Field Guide to What Species Would Be There as well as Those Seen in the Books and Movies By Philip W. Willink Ph.D. Version 2.0 2008 / October Table of Contents Introduction Chapter I – What Fish Species Would Be in Middle-Earth Chapter II – Fishes that Could be Encountered during The Hobbit Adventure Chapter III – Those Fish Species Seen in the Lord of the Rings Movies Appendix – Fish References in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Novels Bibliography Acknowledgements Contact Information Introduction This manuscript is intended to introduce the reader to the diversity of fishes living in Middle- Earth during the Third Age. Think of it as something Radagast the Brown would have written. (And perhaps someday a scribe going through the library in Minas Tirith will find such a document.) Not every fish species is included here, as that would be overwhelming. Rather, the focus is on the more dramatic, dangerous, and / or edible fishes that could have been encountered during The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings adventures. Small minnows, oceanic fishes, etc. are not covered here. The basis for the species descriptions is the supposition that Middle-Earth is the forerunner of modern day Europe. Tolkien claimed that this was the case, but at other times recanted his statement (Harvey 2003)). In short, The Shire very much resembles England. The Rohirrim are Scandanavian-like people originally from the headwaters of the Anduin River. This would place Norway / Sweden in the northern Misty Mountains. Gondor has a very Greco- Roman influence.
