High five near miss

The High Five team narrowly missed getting through to the semi-finals of the Manor tournament. Despite winning most of their matches, they lost out on goal difference. Nevertheless, they all had an enjoyable morning. Many thanks to the supporters and to Julie McDermaid for coaching.

Cup winners again!

Ladygrove Park boys on their second trophy of the season today at the Manor Tournament with a convincing 2-0 win over local rivals All Saints School.
Two teams from LPPS went to Manor for the tournament. The B Team played really well mostly against other school A teams. They narrowly missed going through to the quarter final stages.

The A team meanwhile were top of their group and then went on to beat All Saints B and Hagbourne in the quarter and semi-finals before their finals victory against All Saints A.
Well done to all the boys for playing so well (a special mention to Fyn for a clean sheet throughout the morning and to Freddie for being top scorer). Well done to coach Sam for his guidance. And a big thanks to all the parents who came to support.

New House Captains

Six children from Year 6 were elected as House Captains for the remaining two terms of this year.

Well done to them and thank you to our retiring House Captains for doing such a good job!

Hospital artists

Three of our year 2 children were chosen to represent the school at a presentation at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. The children had painted pictures to decorate the waiting areas at the Botnar Research Centre and the staff at the centre wanted to thank the children. As a thank you, the children got an Easter egg and also received a secret present for everyone on the school. We all had a great morning!

Money Matters

Class 14 and Class 15 children have worked extremely hard their Money Matters topic this term. The final challenge - creating healthy snacks for break time - has been a roaring success!

Class 14's Fruit Explosion was an interesting combination of yoghurt, apple and cereal, all served up in an ice cream cone. Class 15 made Fruitilicious which contained strawberries, biscuit crumbs, yoghurt, apple and a wafer.

Both classes worked very hard and their careful planning of the ingredients, timetables and costs was very impressive. Well done Year 6!

It was a close run competition between the two classes, but the final profits are as follows:

Class 15 £162.25

Class 14 £185.60

Therefore we are delighted to announce that we have raised £347.85 in total for Sport Relief.

Girls' gain cup victory

The girls' football team won the Jack Seymour trophy at Our Lady's Playing Fields, Abingdon yesterday.
The children played against Carswell, Stephen Freeman and St Swithun's in the group stages and won through to the semi finals after a penalty shoot out.
In the semi-finals they played All Saints and won 1-0 (Bonnie scored).
In the finals they played Carswell and won 2-0 - a penalty by Abi after a Carswell handball and another goal by Ella.
Ella was top goal scorer, Paige was amazing in defence and Lilly saved loads of goals. But a well done to EVERYONE for playing brilliantly.

A huge thanks again to Nicole who has coached the team this year. Thank you also to the supporters who came to watch and to Miss Hiddleston the newly converted fan of girls' football.
