Chocolate sparklers are better in my opinion and I think this lot would agree. Demonstrated by Bailey my glamorous assistant, the children then made their own sparkler by spreading chocolate and sprinkles onto a breadstick. It was very quiet afterwards… can’t think why! Even the floor was treated to a bit of chocolate!
Stay safe tomorrow children but enjoy the fireworks.

Hi
Have a great holiday Y3SB and well done on your hard work during this half term. Enjoy the holidays you deserve it.
Thanks,
Mr Bell and Mrs Coldwell.
Hello
We are currently working on poetry in Literacy linked to Halloween. We are planning and designing shape poems trying to use descriptive language. The children have used some excellent language while trying to describe a ghost. Working in pairs the children took their best ideas to come up with some spooky descriptions. These are work in progress but Mrs Coldwell and myself were really impressed with their attitude and efforts this week. Well done Y3SB! Have a great weekend you deserve it.
Many thanks,
Mr Bell.
As a school we use the Google Suite for Education to help us in school and out of school. After experiencing remote learning before the summer holidays we have all worked hard to embrace new technologies.
We would like to remind children (and parents) that when you are logged onto our school website and using the tools which are available to you that it is solely for school work.
Conversations should be related to school and work which you have been asked to do by your teachers.
It is an amazing tool and should be used with respect.
Here is a link to some You Tube videos which may help when using Google.
Tech Toolkit for Families and Guardians
As always our school website has advice and links for all technology related issues in the e-safety tab.
Responsible Computer and Internet Use
At Ashley Primary School we use school computers and internet access for learning. The following rules will help us to keep everyone safe when using this technology.
* On the school network, I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will not look at, or delete other people’s files.
* I will not bring external memory drives or USB Memory Sticks into school without permission and will not use these on school machines.
* I will ask permission before entering any website, unless my teacher has already approved the site.
* When using the school website I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will only email people I know, or who my teacher has approved sending them appropriate and polite messages.
* I will ask permission before opening an email or an email attachment sent by a person I do not know.
* I will not use internet chat.
* If I see anything I am unhappy with or receive messages I do not like, I will tell a teacher immediately.
* I understand the school may check my computer and email files and may monitor the internet sites I visit.
* I understand that if I deliberately break these rules, I could be stopped from using the internet and computers.
This week we’ve been up to all kinds of things! We’ve been learning about The Jarrow Crusade and in Literacy, we pretended we were children from 1936. We wrote a diary entry in character and on Friday, we wrote a final draft of our work which included all of our corrections. Mrs Royal is going to put our work on display to make all of the other teachers jealous of how brilliant our work is. We had to concentrate really hard on writing and ensuring our work was correct and neat! Here are some photos of us in action:
Here is a short video of us in action:
This afternoon during golden time, Mrs Royal had bought us some tulip bulbs… so we went outside to plant one each! Mrs Royal didn’t tell us what to do, we had to read the instructions and work together to figure it out. After planting our bulbs, we went into the junior garden to pick the last of the raspberries. Mrs Royal is going to make us jam (without seeds!!!) to try next week. We also picked the plums and the pears. There were so many pears, we all took one home. They’re a little bit hard so we’ll need to wait a few days to eat them.
This week we announced the dojo winner and it was MASON with 97 points!!! NINETY SEVEN. Absolutely amazing, well done Mason.
Today we also announced our Golden Chair winner! This little girl has wowed us with her sensible attitude and wonderful ideas. She has worked very hard this week and produced some brilliant work. A pleasure to have in the classroom, CONGRATULATIONS to Trinity!
Thank for another great week children – have a great weekend! Stay safe.
Mrs Royal and Miss Rowston
p.s as promised, homemade jam!
Hello,
Today in ICT, the children were reminded about how to log in to the school website using their new passwords and how to get onto their school e-mail accounts. I advised the children that I will be sending an e-mail inviting them to join our Google classroom ready for possible homework tasks and if it is needed for home learning in the future due to the current situation. The e-mail has now been sent to their school e-mail account and they should accept the invite to join our online class.
We also revisited Purple Mash and I advised this may be used also for homework tasks under the icon 2-do tasks. The children were able to complete a 2-do task successfully with out any issues. A further 2-do task has been set for the children to complete for homework. If any children do not have access to online devices please let me know and I will sort something out in school. If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please contact

Many thanks Mr Bell.
This afternoon for a treat, we went outside to explore the junior garden as many of the children haven’t been in it yet. It’s very overgrown! Luckily, there were lots of raspberries so we decided to pick one each to try. We gave them a little wash and had a taste. Most of the children liked them – some were not so keen! Hopefully, we’ll be able to pick the apples and pears in a few weeks time, unless another class beats us to it.
Today, ALL of our class earned another Mathletics certificate! Well done children, you’ve tried really hard and you should be so proud of yourselves. I bet Mr Rich is very impressed.
Last but not least, CONGRATULATIONS to FAITH who is our new Golden Seat winner!!! Faith has beautiful manners all of the time, she always tries her best and we have been blown away with her weird and wonderful answers. Thoroughly deserved!
Have a lovely weekend everyone and stay safe.
Mrs Royal and Miss Rowston
p.s don’t forget to send me an email to earn your merits!
Our hungry worry monster click this link to see how to feed him!
We have a new member of our class! This is our new worry monster ready to gobble up any worries.
What do you think we should it?
Thank you so much to the kind lady who made this for us, I’m sure it’ll be a very valued part of our class.
Mrs Royal
This week we have been working hard with Miss Rowston finding out about how to keep our bodies and minds healthy. We have created posters for our classroom display and I am sure you would agree they are marvellous:
The winner… or should I say winners, because I couldn’t just choose one… CONGRATULATIONS TO JACK AND TRINITY!!!!!!
Jack – I absolutely loved how you decided to add labels to yours and Miss Rowston said you worked so hard and completed this independently! I am amazed. Well done to you, young sir.
Trinity – I thought this was a super neat piece of work and you had so many ideas I bet you’re the healthiest person in the class!
you can both claim your prize from the treasure chest tomorrow morning! Well done.
Mrs Royal and Miss Rowston
A massive Ashley thank you goes out to Yvonne and Linda who have made some absolutely gorgeous ‘Worry Monster’ for the children in EYFS and KS1 (I think KS2 will want some when they see them!) I think you’ll agree that they are beautiful and we are all looking forward to using them to help our young people with some of their worries. I imagine a few of us grown-ups could do with a Worry Monster right now! Quite a few teachers are using a wonderful book called ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas and our new Worry Monsters will work perfectly with it.
Thanks again ladies, we really do appreciate it.
