News From Etonbury Academy it was our first fixture. We hope at the next match Etonbury can pull out a win with all the practice the team are putting in! Arlesey Memorial Floral Display Yr 4 s day to Etonbury On the 20th May Year 8 pupils went to Arlesey Memorial to place flowers in respect of all soldiers that fought for our country in World War I and World War II. Tyler Hanks, Amy Regan, Ellie Graham, Sinead Savoury and Shayla Kirkham, were all involved in the floral display. Amy said “It was a fun experience and I would like to do it again if I had the chance”. Tyler said, “It was a good educational trip that has taught me a lot about our history of people that lived in Arlesey and lost their lives in the Wars”. However there is another opportunity for our Year 7 pupils to do the floral display when they go up into Year 8. Shayla also added “It was a brilliant, fun hour which I’d happily do again, as it taught me so much”. This trip helped these students realise the amount of people that gave there lives for our country. This is another way of Etonbury becoming involved with the local community. By Max Brown 8BOM and Tyler Hanks 8AC. Etonbury Farm Update – NEW residents at Etonbury Academy We have three new arrivals to our farm. Three tiny pigs arrived last week and are beginning to settle into life at Etonbury. They are quite playful and like a good scratch. Our chickens started to lay last week and at the weekend we had our first egg. We have blown the egg and it is now on display in the main reception area. Some of the Year 8 students have been down to feed the pigs and chickens and help muck them out. The Year 8 students have been working hard to paint the piggery and get it ready for the new arrivals. The garden area is beginning to take shape with raised beds being built over the half term holiday. We have a shortage of top soil and bark chippings for the paths – if you have anything that could be helpful please contact Mrs Turgoose via e mail: [email protected] Written by Amy Regan [
