SNAG Update

Good bye Coca cola

At the last SNAG (School Nutritional Action Group) we met with Cardiff Councils Nutritional Advisor who told us about the Welsh Governments plans to ban sugary fizzy drinks in school vending machines. In 2013 all sugary fizzy drink will be banned from all schools in Wales. To get ready for the ban Llanrumney High School will stop selling full sugar Coca Cola, the drink will be replaced with alternative healthy smoothie drink. Over the course of the year more sugary drinks will be replaced with healthy alternatives.    

Llanrumney Master Chef – The RESULTS

 Congratulations to all those that took part in Master Chef, the
competition was tough with all nine pupils creating dishes of excellent
quality.
The judging team which included the Head Teacher had the daunting task of
selecting a winner. It was a close contest with Chloe from Year 8 claiming
the Master Chef title with her superb lemon chicken, homemade chips and homemade tomato sauce.
Chloe will go on to represent Llanrumney High School in the next round of the competition which will take place in November.
Best of luck!

Readalong

The readalong programme is an intervention aimed at helping to improve the literacy skills of children in Year 7. It takes place every Wed, Thurs and Fri during registration time. A group of Year 9 peer tutors assist the children during the programme.

Peer Mentoring

The Peer Mentoring programme at Key Stage 3 ensures that all children are supported to help them deal with a range of difficulties that they may be experiencing in their lives. The Peer Mentors are a group of Year 9 students that have been trained in order to provide a worthwhile mentoring service.

Litter Picking

Last week quite a small group of people were chosen to do litter picking on ‘the tidy up wales week’. The group of people chosen were given litter pickers, gloves and carrier bags to carry around with them whilst we went around the local area tidying up as much litter as possible; this was quite interesting as we got to see how much litter people actually dropping.

Crows Paws

 

Crows Paws

 

Crows paw is a performing arts group which includes dancing, singing and acting which takes part after school at quarter past 4 till 6.

This group is run by Miss Pawsey our music teacher and Kris Our Dance teacher.

Pupils from other schools come to join in as well; we usually take parts from productions such as ‘wizard of Oz’ and ‘Annie’ and perform ourselves through either dance singing or acting. 

This group is very fun and exciting, suitable for pupils aged approximately 8-16 years of age.
