‘Great oaks from little acorns grow’ Spring term (2) 2018 – Week 4 Our Value for this Half-Term is Service: This week… Snow Clearance… A huge thank you to parents and families that helped clear the entrance, carpark and playground on Sunday. In Acorn Class we have been learning all about the Easter story. We have acted out the Easter Story and learnt about the different symbols of Easter. The children have been busy learning their Easter song ready for next Wednesday in the church. Beech Class have focused on learning about the different days and events during Easter Holy week. We will be sharing our Holy Week Kenning with you next Wednesday in church. Oak Class recited their poems brilliantly in front of a live studio audience. They spoke clearly and with confidence. Well done everybody! World Poetry Day… On Wednesday the children each recited a poem of their choice to their classroom peers, filling Oak and Beech classes with the sound of verse, rhyme, limerick, rhyming and non-rhyming poems. HMFA Tag Rugby Festival… The Llangrove team played exceptionally fast paced games and convincingly won their pool with a fantastic 10 tries. Playing in the quarter finals, they worked relentlessly throughout and narrowly missed out by just 1 try in both matches. Securing 4 th place out of 8 teams, the children really did Llangrove Academy proud! BRILLIANT! Many congratulations to Felicity & Ruby – the winners of the ‘Count the steps’ competition. They go home with a sports relief goody bag! The children had a great time exploring the village and local surroundings. Results: KS1: 3,316 steps KS2: 4,227 steps We have raised over £100 so far.
