  Wed 16 Dec 2015 DAve

  As part of our 'You're having a laugh ' week in October we made up Christmas Cracker jokes. we also had a competition to design the best Christmas Cracker wrapper. This was won by Phillip Smith of class 8. Local company Simply Crackers have been very generous and made us 250 special Ashmount crackers which the children enjoyed at their Christmas dinner.

  Many thanks to Geine and all at Simply Crackers.

  

• Thanks again Motorline Direct

  Wed 16 Dec 2015 Dave

  Once again we would like to thank Motorline Direct of Shepshed for their very generous sponsorship. The company has now presented us with our sixth quarterly cheque for £2,028.80 making £13,872.43 which they have so far donated to the school. This has now entirely paid for the extension to the outdoor canopies on our primary side of the school. Future donations will go toward other Ashmount appeal projects to benefit the children at school.

  Many thanks to Ash, Geni and all the staff.

  

• Sansbury's School Games

  Wed 16 Dec 2015 Dave Thomas

  The pupils of Ashmount have taken part in a number of sports festivals as part of the Sainsbury’s school games partnership.

  The PMLD festival was a great success. 4 of our key stage 2 children attended and took part in a number of sensory activities and games. The children had lots of fun working with children from different schools.

   

  Key stages 3 and 4 took part in the Sports hall athletics level 2 competitions. The children competed against a number of special schools in the city and Leicestershire. All the children performed well and took part in a number of athletics activities including speed bounce, javelin, hurdles, relays, throwing beanbags at targets and long jump. 3 of our KS4 pupils were extremely successful and were chosen to take part in the ‘North Charnwood ALL STARS team’ in the level 3 competition what a triumph for Ashmount.
