• Royal Society Judging Panel

  Tue 20 Dec 2022 Corinna Brown

  Twelve children were invited to make up a panel to read and discuss 6 science books, that were sent to us by The Royal Society. 

  The children have spent the past few weeks reading all the books and they came together on Monday to decide on the best. We have sent our results off to the Royal Society and are pictured holding our results poster. Well done to all of the children for being part of the Panel and for giving their opinions - some great debating skills and negotiations were heard!

  

• Young Voices at Newgate Lodge Care Home

  Wed 14 Dec 2022

  The Young Voices singing group visited Newgate Lodge Care Home on Thursday 8th December. A good time was had by all, with the children having their first taste of performing before they go to Young Voices concert in January. The older people really seemed to enjoy seeing us with many of them joining in some of the older songs. "Charlie is my darlin'," certainly went down well!!

  Thank you to Miss Diane for accompanying us.

• Take your spare clothes to the clothing bank at The Reindeer pub.

  Fri 24 Jun 2022 Corinna Brown

  The Reindeer is collecting clothes and shoes to raise money for our school to be able to buy books. There is a large gray clothing bin, at the back door/car park where you can drop off any items.

   

  Please help out by donating any clothes or shoes that you no longer need. This means there will be less waste in our bins, as well as raising money for school.

   

  Thank you to Hayley, the new manager, who is running lots of fundraising events and initiatives to help raise money for school.

  By shopping at Oak Tree Tesco and dropping one of their blue tokens in to the Community Voting box for Asquith Primary School, you could help school to win a bigger money prize for outdoor learning and Forest School resources! 

   

  The more votes we get, the more money we receive! If we win first place we will get £1,500!! The voting box is just by the main doors, near the cash points. Ask your Tesco cashier if you are not offered a token and they have a tub near the self service tills too. 

   

  The in store voting is also taking place in other Tesco stores in the local area, such as Sutton, Kirkby and Hucknall and will keep running until 31st March, so lots of time to support school.

  Today five children from class 5/6 G, representing the ECO Group and School Council, delivered presents to the residents of the Care Home and goodies for the staff teams.

  They also hung star and Gods Eye decorations in the trees in the garden of the care home, plus bird feeders, all made by the ECO Group in their last few sessions. 

  The children were a credit to the school and were thanked by the residents and staff from the care home - we said 'Merry Christmas' through the open door!!
