Wellbeing Buddies

This half term’s focus for wellbeing buddies is ‘Take Notice’ as one of the five ways to wellbeing.  To help us with this, please encourage your child to take notice in the following ways and any more that you can think of:
Look up and around – what signs of Spring can you see?
Have a go at a scavenger hunt or create your own.
Take photographs of interesting things you notice or places you go.
Try new foods and drinks
Listen to some different music
Try some new activities or hobbies.
If you would like to share your take notice activity, please send an email or photographs to Mrs Moore at hmoore@chur-ascen.dudley.sch.uk and they might appear on the website and/or on our wellbeing noticeboard.

World Book Day 2025

 

 

To mark World Book Day on Thursday, March 6th this year, we aim to celebrate reading, which is always at the forefront of our curriculum, with an exciting range of events designed to inspire our students to read for pleasure. Our goal is to spark a genuine love for reading by encouraging every child to discover new titles and explore different genres.

Throughout the day, each class will engage in various reading-related activities, offering plenty of opportunities for students to enjoy stories in fresh and fun ways.

As always, there is no expectation to spend money! We will be hosting a Book Swap Station where children can bring in one book they no longer need and exchange it for one they have never read before. To take part, all we ask is that the book your child brings is in good condition and free from any markings or writing. This is a fantastic chance for students to refresh their bookshelf and enjoy a new adventure in reading!

For more details, be sure to check out our website and Facebook posts for updates on our World Book Day events. Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate the magic of reading together.

Collective Worship week beginning 24.2.25

This week, we were delighted to have our assembly led by Father Chris Smith.  As it is the first assembly of the half term, it was a Core Value focus. This half term, we will be focusing on our Core Value of Forgiveness.  Father Chris told us the story of Jacob and Esau, and how Esau found it in his heart to forgive his brother Jacob.
