The children from Ashley Primary School have made some beautiful rainbows which they are sharing with you all. Thank you to the children and the staff who made this possible.
This letter will come out with Reception to Year 6 children after school today and Nursery children tomorrow.
On Friday 14th February we said an emotional farewell to John, our Lollipop Man, as he retired for the second time in his life.
John has been helping children to cross Stanhope Road for many years and he has decided to hand in his lolly pop stick.
We were able to say one last goodbye and good luck to him as he came into a special assembly attended by the whole school and his family.
Thank you for your patience with Snack Shack opening.
We have experienced a few issues obtaining stock in time to sell so unfortunately had to temporarily close.
I have now received part of a delivery so intend to re-open from next week.
All snacks cost 60p. Your child may purchase up to 5 snacks (1 for each day of the week), however may only buy up to 2 packets of Spicy Noodles at any one time. This is due to difficulty obtaining stock – and the fact that Spicy Noodles are our most popular snack!
Your child’s Snack Shack day is as follows:
Monday: Year 3 Mr Bell, Year 3 Mrs Royal, Year 1 Mrs Hall
Tuesday: Year 4 Mr Rich, Year 4 Mrs Dowens, Year 1 Mrs Jewitt
Wednesday: Year 5 Miss Sanderson, Year 5 Mrs Tuff, Year 2 Miss Stratford
Thursday: Year 6 Mrs Coult, Year 6 Miss Humphrey, Year 2 Miss Locklan
Friday: Reception (in class).
Thanks!
Miss Sanderson and the Fruit to Suit Team 🙂
Thursday 12th December is our Christmas Lunch in school – to make this extra special, the children (and hopefully the staff), may come into school wearing their festive jumpers instead of their Ashley jumper/cardigan.
