Pre-School Ash have been exploring France this week!🇫🇷

From painting their own French Flag, making pastries out of playdough, drawing the Eiffel Tower and learning some French words during circle time. They’ve been learning how to greet their friends, count to 3 and answer when asked what their name is! 🔢🗼🥖

To help further their understanding of France they have been looking at Felicette, who was the first cat in space who was from France! They were very happy to see a space station had popped up in their classroom and then when reading the story they had a visit from Felicette and they all greeted her in French!🐈‍⬛🚀

Our U10 girls travel

Our U10 girls travelled to Richard Pates School this week for their first cricket fixture of the season. Our girls came out victorious due to their fantastic assertive batting. We were able to hit a few 4s and steal a few runs thanks to some great connections with the ball. ⚾

Richard Pates had some wonderful bowlers which made for some entertaining cricket to watch! 🏏

During our Year 6 Ma

During our Year 6 Maths lesson this week, we turned division into a colourful and engaging experience. The students were given Skittles and began by sorting them into separate piles based on their colour. Once they had their vibrant collections ready, we worked together to figure out, using division, how many of each colour Skittle each child would receive.

This hands-on approach not only made the lesson more fun but also helped everyone grasp the practical side of division. The children enjoyed the process and were enthusiastic about applying their maths skills to something they could see and touch. It was fantastic to see their confidence and understanding grow as they tackled the challenge.🌈
