Tongues tied in knots
VALE OF LEVEN ACADEMY raised a superb £1500 as first-year pupils tied their tongues in knots for a sponsored language challenge, attempting to speak as many foreign languages as possible at the same time.
 Teachers needed earplugs as the kids gathered in the assembly hall, having learned 10 words from several languages such as Italian, French, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese. A noisy, but cultured, event!
The school also raised cash via a Guess The Teddy’s Birthday competition and third and fourth year pupils are also planning a bring-and-buy sale.
