All year 10 students spent all day Friday learning how to run a business as part of their Enrichment Day. Margret and Melissa from NatWest Bank ran an Enterprise Day based on a catering company.

The students had to prepare a tender for a special dinner themed on different countries.They had to design a logo and business card, write letters, produce costing sheets, create a menu card and sample table decoration and give a presentation on their companies.

We have reports of some of the balloons having landed. The wind has blown them North of Harrogate.

Gillian from Farnham was the first to let us know that she had found a balloon: "Pretty purple balloon, I'm glad Ella likes her school"
Mr T W Thompson from Knaresborough: "I thought that the poem (Harry 7EL) was very apt as the label was found on the lawn beneath a tall tree as the sun was going down"
Andy from Bishop Thornton found a balloon whilst walking his dog on Sunday (Suhail's balloon).

D. Brackley found Zaibun's balloon near Scar House Reservoir. Marion found a balloon (Armani's) near Brimham Rocks.

"Flippin 'eck Iqram - your balloon went miles! Well done. I live in a village called Tirril and was taking my two girls aged 9 & 11 out for a bit of a walk, along with our 6mth old dog called Buster. It was a grey day with mist and snow on the mountain above us and we stopped by a rock for some veggie soup when I saw your mysterious ticket and figured out what it was with my daughters. If we win I'll share the token with them. Fun project. v best wishes Andy, Freya, and Eva"

"Hi FERN sorry your balloon only got as far as KIRK DEIGHTON. Which is just outside Wetherby I found it today Feb 17th when I was out walking my dog. Love the name FERN and have never met a dog named shadow before." Jenny

These landing have been marked on the map.

"Just to let you know that I found a balloon yesterday while in my tractor.
I know it's past the the deadline but I thought I would let you know just
out of interest. The location was DL8 4TX.
Not far away from the one that was found at scar house reservoir.

The poem on the back read - I could horse ride all day long and lots of
trips to Portugal with the hot red landscape. - sound good after the winter
we have had.

Kind regards
Richard Lambert"

My name is Joanna I'm 14 years old and I have just had a double lung transplant. Without it I would have died.

I had been on the Donor List for nearly 2 years. I was Critically ill and I had to have oxygen 24/7 and Intravenous Antibiotics constantly. Then On the 15th of August I had my Double Lung Transplant!  Now I’m as healthy as ever and I now can do anything like anyone else, (with no oxygen and no antibiotics!!)  Not enough words could describe how grateful I am that I got my Transplant.
Only 27% of us have joined the Organ Donation Register, More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need a transplant. Of these, 1000 each year – that's three a day - will die waiting as there are not enough organs available. So please help us to turn people’s good intentions about organ donation into action by registering on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
