In RE, Year 3 have been looking at the importance of the Diya lamp in the story of Rama and Sita, so they made some celebration cards for Diwali. They then used clay and made some real ones.

The last week of term was full of fun in Year 4! They started with baking delicious gingerbread, which filled the classroom with a wonderful smell. Later in the week, they made clay decorations, finished sewing their stockings, and created some cheeky elf door hangers. Can you spot Stretch or the Elf Goblin?!
They also had a fantastic time in the sports hall playing party games. The children especially loved the obstacle race—and, of course, the lively music and musical bumps!

We were thrilled to see our children shine during their recent LAMDA exams and showcase! 🌟
Each child embraced the performance opportunity with confidence and enthusiasm—whether it was choral speaking, script work, or devising pieces, they truly gave us all a treat.
A huge well done to every performer for their hard work and creativity. We are so proud of you! 👏🎭

The Year 3's were full of Christmas spirit this week! Here are a few pics of us baking gingerbread men and getting messy with icing in the cookery room! The winners from our Festive quiz were excited to pose on the podium and we had a lovely Christmas party before heading to the Chapel for our Nativity Service.

A huge 'well done' to Pre-School and Reception who have come together for an additional showcase this Christmas. The audiences were treated to some well loved festive songs, poetry recitals, a Reception nativity and 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas' in British Sign Language. It was a wonderful occasion where each child had the first of many opportunities to shine on the stage at Ashley Manor Prep. Thank you for those who came to watch and support us, and thank you for your generous donations to Cheltenham's Open Door charity. We raised £167.81!

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 were delighted to welcome parents to join them for two afternoons of Christmas crafts last week. With cutting, sticking, colouring, modelling and threading, we are extremely proud of their beautiful creations and are sure these will feature as special Christmas decorations at home for years to come!

Reception have been busy over the last few weeks modelling foxes and owls from clay with Mrs Pirie in their Art lessons. After glazing their creations, they waited patiently for the sculptures to be dried in the kiln and were so pleased with the result; all ready to take home in time for Christmas.

This morning, our Charity Ambassadors, accompanied by Mrs Bailey and Mr Roberts, made a special delivery of food and clothing appeal items to the Charity Hub on Alstone Lane. After unloading the minibus, the pupils were given a tour to see how the money raised by our school will help those who are homeless or in need of a safe place. A huge thank you to everyone who donated!
