Bug Club
|
|
Ashcombe Bug Club got off to a flying start this week with a number of creepy crawly visitors.
During the after school session, our budding entomologists came face to face with some Giant Stick Insects, a young Praying Mantis and an insect munching, Dwarf African Hedgehog called George. Designed to give our children both educational and fun experiences with invertebrates, there are lots of exciting events planned for the coming weeks. As well as taking responsibility for the care of our exotic insects, children will be building their own worm farm, creating bug fact files, taking part in a big bug hunt and completing a national bug survey of the school grounds, to become citizen scientists. “It seems to me that the natural world
is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living”. – Sir David Attenborough |
We still have spaces available in JAM and Multi-Skills club - please contact the office for a letter

Online Safety Award
We are very pleased to announce that Ashcombe School was awarded the 360 degree safe E-Safety mark after an assessor visited the school yesterday. He spoke with staff, children and parents about the work the school does to ensure children are fully aware of the risks from online activities. He was impressed with our children’s knowledge and the systems we have in school to protect children from harm. Special congratulations go to Mrs Jo Rose leads computing across the school and prepared our application. Thanks also to her Year 6 digital leaders and the parents who spoke to the assessor.

From Ashcombe to Rio!
Although the official Rio 2016 Olympics Opening Ceremony isn't for a while yet, we decided to host our own version yesterday here at school.
Every child took part in the event filled with bright colours, flags, dancing and music. Here we have Year 4's performance, click below to view the rest of the school. We think you would agree, we have definitely set the bar for Rio in August! |
Ofsted Parent View
Parent view is a website created by Ofsted to collate parents & carers views of each school. The online facility means that parents can log on at any time and record their views of the school by answering 12 simple questions. These views can be amended at anytime in the future as parents/carers views change.
Parents/carers can also use the website to read the views of other parents of their child’s school or of other schools in the local area.
To access Parent View and complete the simple survey click here
