Class 2011
Holly class
have been very busy since Easter!

We have
made our own newspaper articles pretending to written them

war time songs. We know ‘It’s a long way to

drummers in Holly Class (in addition to our great guitarists).
We now offer drumming lessons at Ashlands through CHICS music
and we have some children who are enjoying learning to play on
our new drum kit!
We all have
really enjoyed our WW2 project so far and we haven’t even
finished yet!
We all
learnt a lot from our Science and Outdoor fortnight. Our visit
to Manor farm in Merriott was great- the favourite activities
being the stream dipping and measuring water levels from dipping
buckets into the stream. We did get a bit wet, but we didn’t
really notice!
During our
outdoor week Holly class
has also helped a lot
towards our beautiful Ashlands Mosaic which is going to be hung
permanently outside on our playground fence. It is of
We look
forward to the next few weeks in Holly Class and are definitely
going to continue to enjoy ourselves…
