Anti Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day

8th November 2021Miss Stratford

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week this year is One Kind Word. The week will begin with Odd Socks Day. We would like all of the children to come to school wearing odd socks to show we’re ALL unique and different. We want to emphasis the importance of being kind to each other and respecting each other’s individuality.

Throughout the week the children will be talking about different types of bullying, what to do about it and how we can spread kindness around the school. We will even be singing a song about it!

A Greener Ashley Primary School

3rd November 2021Natalie Jewitt

In a bid to help everyone at Ashley Primary School become more environmentally proactive we applied for some plants from The Woodland Trust.  You will be pleased to hear that we were successful and sometime this month we will be receiving 120 Saplings.

Although we have not been given a date for delivery we expect them to come the week beginning Monday 8th November.  With this in mind we would like everyone in school to have the opportunity to get their hands dirty to help plant the saplings.  We will let you know as soon as we can  but your child will need to bring in appropriate footwear (wellies would be best) and if they have them, some gardening gloves.  

Thank you, Mrs Jewitt 🙂

Year 2 LS Book Week

25th September 2021Miss Stratford

Year 2 read Lollipop and Grandpa’s Back Garden Safari. The children had fun creating their own creatures based on things you can find in the garden, just like in the story. They thought of Hippo-rock-amus, Butter-Leaf, Hedge-rock and Stick-Insect. The children generated adjectives and used them in sentences to write a character description. 
On Friday they used the story as inspiration to dress up. Here are some photo’s. Don’t they look fantastic?
