- F1 had Christmas crafts and a Christmas singalong session
- F2 had a Christmas sing-along and did amazing with their Makaton signing for every song! Parents and children also took part in Christmas crafts.
- Y1 and Y2 performed their nativity “Stable Story” to 136 parents. Their performance had jazzy tunes and some excellent one-liners from our amazing Y1/Y2 cast!
- KS2 children performed a beautiful carol concert for 137 parents. The children learnt British sign language for the carol Silent Night and Makaton to On a Starry night and did an amazing job!

Ashwood keeps fit and healthy!

- Y5 and Y6 enjoyed their visit to the climbing wall where they faced their fears and were ever resilient to try to beat their own targets.
- Ashwood as a reading school
- Children in each class continue to take on their reading challenges! Keep sending in your photos on the class dojo over Christmas. We would love to hear about any books you receive as gifts and which books you would recommend others to read.
- This month 98 parents attended our books and biscuits event and 111 children attended our after school Winter book event.
What is coming up in January…..
- Ashwood all-stars – Parent share event will be organised for the children to be able to share some of their learning with parents in their books. Dates of these events will be posted on class dojo. These will be different dates for each class as the hall will be used so the class can spread out to share their learning.
