Attendance Figures week commencing 2.2.2026:

It has been a very busy week, here at Church of the Ascension. We have thoroughly enjoyed learning new songs and dances with iSing Pop, today.  The school was full of music and we have had a great time!

Thank you to Miss Naylor and the year 3 and 4 maths team who represented the school brilliantly in the Local Authority Maths Championships.  There was some very deep and critical thinking going on and the children really did rise to the challenge.

Our Worship Leaders attended the Unity Service at St James’s Church, Wollaston, this week.  Lots of local schools came together to sing, dance, perform poems and prayers.  Our Worship Leaders contributed poems, prayers and readings about gratitude and the importance of gratitude in our daily life.  Thank you Worship Leaders, Mrs Moore and all those involved – it was a reflective and thought provoking service that was enjoyed by all who attended.

Thank you to all of the year 5 and 6 pupils who have participated so sensibly in Bike Ability, over the last few weeks. You have listened carefully and been very sensible and the course leaders report that you were a pleasure to work with.

As per the post in last week’s newsletter, thank you for all of the birthday cards for Amelia.  We can still collect next week, if anyone would still like to send one.

We look forward to our school discos next week, on Thursday 12th February at 530 – 615 and 630 – 730pm.  We will be asking children to enter via the door by year 5 and 6, at the bottom of the steps.  This will allow us to get the children into the disco, more quickly.  On collection, please can parents enter school via the main school office and then exit via the hall.  Hopefully the new point of entry will prevent too much congestion.

Father Chris led our act of worship, this week.  Father Chris encouraged us to think about our own personal confidence and how we can speak to ourselves positively.  Sometimes we are hard on ourselves and speak to ourselves in a way that we wouldn’t speak to others.   He reminded us that we can cheer ourselves on and how Christians believe that God is always there to cheer you on, in good times and in bad.  We really enjoyed singing along with Father Chris and his electric guitar.  Thank you, Father Chris.

New Life church visited us on Thursday and taught us about healthy choices – this fits well with our plans for Good Health Week, next week!

A huge thank you to the year 2 and 3 pupils who have volunteered this week to help to keep our school site clean and tidy.  They have given up their own social time to pick up litter from the playground and paths.  We appreciate the dedication that they have shown to respecting our school site.

Well done to all of the children who have participated in BikeAbility.  Feedback from the team is that children are listening carefully and following instructions to keep themselves and others safe.  Well done and we look forward to hearing how the children participating next week, get on.

Thank you for attending parents’ evening, this week. It was a pleasure to see so many of you.

This week I shared one of my favourite picture books with the children, ‘No Matter What’ by Debi Gliori.  The story introduces us to the characters of Large and Small and reminds us that we are loved, no matter what, even when we are tired and grumpy. We reminded ourselves of the term Agape, which means the highest form or love, God’s love.  For Christians, this type of love is a constant and unconditional support and comfort.
