Please note that there will be no crossing patrol at the end of Redhill Road this morning.

A truly memorable Christmas Nativity, performed by Years 5, 4 and 3. Congratulations to all pupils who took part in the performance at St Mary's Church.

Year 4 spent an amazing day in Cardiff on Tuesday 26th November. First they experienced ‘hands on’ science at Techniquest and then a truly fascinating session in the planetarium, where the pupils were congratulated on their superb knowledge of our solar system, by the staff of the centre. After a short walk around Cardiff Bay, the pupils arrived at The Doctor Who Experience, where they stepped into the interactive world of the Doctor (some were genuinely scared at certain points in this virtual experience).  Finally, they looked around the two floors of Tardis sets, costumes and monsters, which are actually used in the T.V show. This school visit must be ranked as one of the best and Mrs Jones has certainly experienced a great many!

 A big well done to all three teams that entered the ‘Children in Need It’s a Knockout’ competition on Saturday 23rd  November at the Larruperz Centre.  The event, which was organized by  Ashfield’s very own Mr Marshall, was open to teams from all the local primary  schools.  In total, 8 teams competed, including three from Ashfield Park:  #Yoda, Sunset chocolate Cake and Ashfield Avengers.  After a closely fought  battle, #Yoda narrowly beat teams from Brampton Abbotts and Weston Under  Penyard.  However, throughout the competition, Ashfield’s teams were consummate sportsmen and women, borrowing players here and there when they  needed extra and raising the roof as they cheered one another on (we definitely won on the loudest school front too!).  In the end, they all agreed that  all of the Ashfield teams had won collectively – the Ashfield Spirit is alive  and kicking!

The last day for Chocolate orders via the school office is Wednesday 20th November.  Please enclose full payment with any orders together with the catalogue.

Individual and sibling photographs will be sent home today.  In order to ensure photographs are ordered in plenty of time for Christmas, could all orders be returned to the school office by Friday 15th November.  Many thanks.

Next Gen, the school photographers will be at Ashfield Park Primary school tomorrow to take individual and sibling pupil photographs.  Can all children please come to school in the correct uniform. 

Pupils from Year 4 excitedly returned to Ross Community Garden to harvest their bumper crop of pumpkins, which they planted back in June, with the help of Tim Shelley and other volunteers from the project. It was a great learning experience for the children, who each cut the best pumpkin from their plant, to take home. The Community Garden is an inspirational project and staff and pupils from Ashfield Park School would like to thank Tim Shelley for involving them in the first year’s harvest from the garden.
