• Non-uniform day this Friday!

  Wed 24 Oct 2018

  To celebrate the end of a very busy half-term, we will be holding a non-uniform day on Friday 25th October.  Pupils can choose to wear their own clothes or come in fancy dress (age appropriate costumes please, nothing that will frighten other pupils).  We ask that each child brings in a donation of £1 which will be split between Asfaw and school funds.

   

  Don't forget that school finishes at 12pm on Friday (no school dinners) and we return to school on Monday 5th November .

• Harvest at Brooklands

  Fri 12 Oct 2018

  On Friday 12th October we held our annual Harvest celebrations.  Rev Richard McIlhatton was our guest speaker and he shared the Parable of the Sower with us.

  In our P4-P7 assembly, our senior choir gave their first performance of the year, singing "One and a million".  We also heard from four children from P4H who had written their own Harvest prayers, listened to Victorian Autumn poetry read by two P7 pupils and congratulated those children who had full attendance last year.

  Thank you to all the families who donated items for the food bank!  The organisers of the local food bank are very appreciative of your generosity.

  

• KS2 pupils visit Somme Museum as part of First World War commemorations

  Thu 04 Oct 2018

  During the month of October, our P5, P6 and P7 classes will all be visiting the Somme Museum to learn more about the centenary of the First World War.

   

  Our P6 classes were the first to go and spent an excellent morning with our guides.  They learned about what it would have been like to have signed up as a soldier and then headed off for training, arriving in France and experiencing the horrors of the trenches.  Each class had the opportunity to take a closer look at the various weapons which were used in the battles and even try on some of the uniforms!

   

  This visit helped our pupils to reflect upon the sacrifices that were made to keep us all safe and brought our study of the First World War to life.
