Marden Great Languages Bake Off

By Mrs C Mellor12th April 2016
In March, five students took part in the event “The Great Languages Bake Off” combining their language, cooking and filmmaking skills. After making a video of themselves creating a dish, in this case an Apfelstrudel and Gateau au chocolat, they went to Sunderland University where they had to give a presentation in front of all the other students taking part.

They were met by the lovely student ambassador Sarah who showed them around and gave them drinks and cake as well as telling them what student life was like. The students did brilliantly with their videos and presentations and had a great time visiting the university.

10 Years of BBC School Report

By J Ranson11th March 2016

2016 marks the tenth year of BBC News School Report day, and Marden High School have been there since the very beginning.

Back in 2007 we broadcast live on BBC Breakfast, in 2014 BBC Look North reported live from our Media Studio and this year we were lucky enough to chat to BBC weather reporter Carol Kirkwood about our current reports.

Here’s our final reports from our Year 8 team, presented by anchors Connor, Jessica, Harvey and Kate.
