PGL Fun Day.

Seventeen children and four staff members enjoyed a fun day of activities at PGL Hillcrest today. Team games, archery, high trapeze and parachute games were some of the challenges met by the children. Many thanks to Ross Rotary Club for making such an amazing day possible.

The Friends of Ashfield Park will be holding their annual Summer Fair to raise funds for the school on Friday 7th June starting at 3.30pm.  There will be a Grand Prize Draw, pony rides, vintage car display, craft stalls etc plus refreshments and much more.  Adult entry is 50p and children are free.
Thursday 6th June is a Non-uniform day for the pupils, could all pupils please bring in a donation for the Fair if possible e.g. cakes or prizes for a raffle/tombola. 
The weather forecast for Friday looks to be warm and sunny at the moment, so fingers crossed for a fun filled early evening!

On Friday 3rd May, 3M visited the beautiful Lewstone Farm to meet the animals and to learn more about how plants grow, as part of our science work for this term.  We had a wonderful morning, one of the highlights being the adorable new Kune Kune pigs from New Zealand!  Enjoy the photos...

Thank you to the HUGE number of children who have shown an interest in joining Athletics Club. Unfortunately, we are now full but are keeping a reserve list that we will use to fill any spaces that may crop up.
Please note that due to staff training we are unable to start this week, meaning that the first session will be on THURSDAY 9th MAY. We look forward to seeing you then!!

On Monday 22nd April, as part of their Spring Term thematic topic, Year 5 organised a 'bring and buy' fund raising event, to raise money for the charity Water Aid. Through their fantastic efforts and the support of all the children who attended the sale, a cheque for £240 will be on its way to Water Aid. Then on Wednesday 24th April,  the year group left for the PGL Hillcrest Centre at Foy, for a three day residential visit, to experience outdoor adventure activities such as canoeing, raft building, rock climbing, zip wire and archery. 

Last term, Year Five took part in a cross curricular project that linked in to the local campaign to improve the facilities at the Rope Walk playground by the river in Ross. Amongst other things, we visited local playgrounds; wrote persuasive letters to the Ross Gazette; looked at budgeting and costs in maths; researched materials in science and even created and designed our own 3D dream playground in DT. The local campaign, lead by Cllr. Richard Mayo and a team of local volunteers, is now at the stage where they are applying for funding to build a bigger and better playground for our children to use and they would like your help.
