Book Bench
Fri 11 Feb 2022Our Book Club members have been reading Around the World in Eighty Days with Mrs Whitfield. They were invited to Edge Hill University today to paint a book bench. This will be displayed in Chorley as part of a reading trail before coming to live at Asmall later in the year. I have had lots of wonderful comments about the children’s attitude and behaviour at Edge Hill today.
Well done to the ten children who took part and thank you to Mrs Whitfield for organising!

Laura Davidson Award
Fri 11 Feb 2022This week we have awarded our first Laura Davidson certificates in school. These have gone to a child in each class who has shown some of the qualities which Laura demonstrated - kindness, friendship, being an advocate, generosity, humility, determination and resilience. She made sure that everyone had a voice and that everyone was included.
For those of you who didn't know her, Laura was a governor here as well as a grandparent of Alexa (Y3). She worked for the Child and Family Wellbeing Service and has supported Asmall in more ways than I could ever list. She was also my friend, and she supported me too.
When Laura died (at the start of the autumn term), parents in Year 3 got together and suggested that we should have a school award in her memory. One parent designed and painted a beautiful certificate, whilst others organised a trophy. We decided that we would award these at the end of each half term. The certificate shows the interests and qualities which Laura had - from sewing and gardening to holidays, photography and nature. There is a rainbow in the centre - Laura was so instrumental in keeping up the morale of the class during the lockdowns - and a large heart. She was an advocate for everyone!
So today, we have seven children with their certificates. We will award every half term.
