Ashley Manor News...
Recently, the U8 and U9 cricket teams travelled to Richard Pates School and enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of cricket, playing six matches in the hot sunshine. The standard of batting, bowling and fielding improved steadily throughout the afternoon, with all players growing in confidence and putting into practice what they had learned in each game.
On Friday last week, Year 3 and Year 6 had an exciting and educational visit to the Cheltenham Science Festival.
Their first stop was the Discover Zone, where they spent an hour exploring a wide variety of fascinating exhibits. Pupils had the opportunity to investigate all kinds of contraptions, experiments and interactive displays that explained the science behind many everyday topics. From engineering and technology to forces and the natural world, there was something to capture everyone's curiosity. The children enjoyed getting hands-on with the exhibits and discovering new scientific facts through exploration and investigation.
Afterwards, the children made their way to the Town Hall to watch an entertaining presentation called 'Rude Science' by Stefan Gates. The show combined science with humour, using exciting demonstrations to explain the sometimes surprising and disgusting aspects of the human body and the world around us. There was plenty of laughter as the presenters brought scientific concepts to life in memorable ways, while also helping us learn more about how science affects our daily lives.
The visit was a fantastic experience for both Year 3 and Year 6. The children showed great enthusiasm, curiosity and excellent behaviour throughout the day. We returned to school inspired and eager to continue our learning!

With the lovely weather on our side recently, we were able to move rehearsals outdoors for Years 5 and 6 - and it made all the difference! The children are making fantastic progress with the production, and it’s been fabulous watching each scene grow with confidence, character and creativity.
