Spectacular

Wheelchair Basketball
We have been lucky enough to have Kevin Ogborne from Bristol Wheelchair Basketball back in school with us again this week. Children throughout the school have had the chance to have a go at this excellent sport. All of the children (and the adults!) have been thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The term has ended on a high with the eagerly anticipated Ashcombe Oscars ceremony! All the children were able to participate in our very own glamorous red carpet entrance and each year group's 'best picture' was showcased to the whole school.
The children were asked to cast their vote and after much deliberation (and after the mysteriously disappearing envelope had been found!), master of ceremonies Mr Turner presented this prestigious award to film makers of the future - YEAR 6! Here they are receiving their award along with some of our favourite red carpet looks!

Dancing the night away!
A group of year 5 children have been working really hard on two dances since November to perform at the Playhouse as a celebration of dance from schools across North Somerset. This years theme was 'Dance United'. The children danced to 'Dancing in the Street' by Mira and the free choice dance was to an ABC remix.
Well done to all dancers you performed brilliantly and have worked really hard each week to learn the dances. A special thank you to Miss Whatley for choreographing the two dances.

World Book Day - "Where is Wally?!"
|
To celebrate 30 years of the popular book 'Where's Wally?' we are asking children to come into school dressed as a character from the books for the day.
World Book Day celebrates the joy and value of books and reading, especially for children. To help get them started on their reading journey, every child will receive a £1 World Book Day token that can either be exchanged for one of TEN special £1 books or it can be used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more. Your child's token will be sent home next term and it can be redeemed at most UK bookshops. Please help your child to use it on or around World Book Day by visiting your local bookshop. You can join us building your child's enthusiasm for books well beyond World Book Day by reading together regularly and joining your local library if you are not yet members. For more information, please visit www.worldbookday.com |

What lives at the bottom of our ocean?
This term, Year 1 have gone under the sea learning through our topic ‘What lives at the bottom of the ocean?’
They have found out lots about sea creatures but also the different types of animal groups, they have classified animals and found out about the foods they eat, where they live and what they are like. They have found out about the oceans of our world and human and physical features of the seaside.

Wheelchair Basketball
This week, Year 4 & 6 were lucky enough to experience some wheelchair basketball lessons.
Kev is a wheelchair basketball player and is hoping to go to the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. We all had a chance to practise moving the wheelchair and then we all got to play a game.
“It wasn’t as hard to move the wheelchair as I thought.” Eddie
“I had such a good time; the best bit was defending the hoop” Grant
After we had played some games of basketball, the children had the opportunity to ask Kev questions about being in a wheelchair. Kev was a really fantastic coach and we hope to do some more sessions with him soon.
