Ashley Manor News...
This week, the children in Reception W have had fun experimenting on the computers and practicing their mouse skills to make colourful images!🖱
In PSHE, Year 2 have been discussing their emotions and thinking about what makes them feel a certain way. After some fantastic group work, they then enjoyed taking their learning outdoors and getting creative in the Forest School area.
The children had lots of fun creating their own emotion faces using natural materials! 🍂😊🌿

Under floodlights for the first time, the top tier of the Cheltenham District Primary Athletics structure (the Cotswold Shield - Division One of Three) finally took place at the Prince of Wales Stadium in atmospheric conditions.
Ashley Manor were one of 10 schools competing and, despite the event taking place out of season and at the third attempt, there were some outstanding individual performances. One pupil threw over 44 metres on their way to gold in the Vortex throw, while another took silver with a throw of just under 35 metres.
On the track, one pupil was 2nd in the 75m sprint and another finished 3rd in his 50m final, straight after playing rugby all afternoon! Another pupil was just outside the medals in 4th, while another also made the 75m final and finished 6th in a very tight race with little between all of the runners.
Sadly, only the two Year 4 relay teams made the final, but credit to them for that and for earning points for the team by finishing 6th. The other teams were edged out of the final by finishing outside the top three.
In the long-distance races, one pupil came home 5th after a brave run from the front, while three others finished 6th. Another finished 7th and another 9th – all worked hard in very tough fields.
The final points tally is an unofficial and very pleasing 57 points, so well done to everyone who was there on the night – big team effort from us all!
