Ashley Manor News...
Pre-School Ash have been exploring animals from hot climates around the world, focusing on the Savanna and the Rainforest. They have taken part in group counting and number formation activities, as well as a range of crafts centred on tigers in the rainforest and giraffes in the savanna. The children have been learning about why these animals live in their specific environments, discussing their features and how they adapt to the climates they live in.🐅🦒
Year 3 are currently working on a topic called 'Expressive Painting'. Drawing on some of the skills they have built up over the past few weeks they began their final piece. Using a still life as their inspiration, the children printed, scraped, spattered and dotted their paint onto paper, enjoying the chance to experiment, practise colour mixing and embrace the process of painting. 🎨🖌

Another fantastic day on the Year 6 France Residential!☀️
After a morning spent learning about the historic town of Vézelay and creating beautiful mosaics, the children headed out to explore one of France's most picturesque hilltop destinations.
The pupils completed a town trail, practised their French while ordering ice creams, and followed the famous pilgrimage route up to the stunning Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine. They were incredibly respectful throughout the visit and showed great curiosity about the town's rich history.
In the evening, the children enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant, where they represented Ashley Manor wonderfully with their excellent manners and growing confidence in speaking French, before coming back to watch the football at MCF.
With sunshine, culture, creativity and plenty of smiles, it has been another memorable day in France. We are incredibly proud of how the children are embracing every opportunity and making the most of this special experience.
