Trip to Nature in Art
To kick start our learning project, we had a visit to Naure in Art in Twigworth and found out about some fantastic sculptures.  We saw lots of different materials used for sculptures which gave us plenty of ideas on how to create our own.   As a result of this visit, Nature in Art  displayed the sculptures made by the children in Key Stage 2 over the Easter period.
Spirituality Day Water was the theme for this successful day.   We had batik, music making, mosaic, drawing and weaving activities going on throughout the day. The weaving can be seen on the school fence if you stand on the village green. The prayer flags and bible pictures that the children created were on display on church during the Easter period and were much admired.
PGL Residential Trip Key Stage 2 went on a residential PGL Trip to Hillcrest. Despite very heavy rain, they all had a fantastic time and enjoyed lots of new activities, as you can see from the photos!
May Day on the Green   A great big thank you to Grace H, Leah, Rosie, Abi, Abigail, Sophie, Ellie, Lexie, Thomas, Charlotte, Olivia, Courtney and Grace P for their fantastic involvement in the Maypole dancing. The collaboration with the Women’s Institute was a huge success, hopefully raising money towards a new a bench on the Green. Our children have some super ideas as to what this bench should look like! The event could not have happened without the expertise of Mrs. Vince and Mrs. West so we are grateful for their input too. Less than a day after the maypole dancing we had a request from the WI that this becomes an annual event! They particularly praised the children and staff for their efforts and enjoyed the fact that it was “reviving an old tradition in a village setting and bringing together all the community” which was “something very special”. The main issue in all of this is that we hired the maypole and would not maybe be as fortunate for it to be available again on such a key day in the maypole dancing year
Easter Celebrations We ended the Spring term with an Easter service in church, led by Mr Charles Whitney and Mr Richard Wall.   The children sang beautifully - especially "There is a green hill far away" which they had been practising.   The theme of the service was rebirth, with a focus on baptism. This has helped to prepare us for our Summer learning topic which was connected to water
Ashleworth Cheerleaders Did you see us on the news?  Miss Nadin organised a trip to Esporta health and Racquets Club in Brockworth.  Some of us had a go at cheerleading with Miss Nadin and were filmed by the BBC!  It was very exciting!  Some of the boys had fun learning tennis!   Visit the links to read or watch articles: BBC News West Midlands This is Bristol
