We had great fun on our first visit to Chorley in Bloom.  
After a short ride on the school mini bus we arrived at the community garden. We meet two lovely ladies that are going to help us.  Each one of us got a little yellow bag, which had seeds for us to look at . Gill and Iris told us…

We decided at the end of November- that it would be a good thing to help others and do a ‘Reverse Advent’ collecting food and toiletries to donate to our local foodbank.

On Thursday the 16th of December 11G were lucky enough to get to meet the Alpacas that came to visit Astley Park School. We got to stroke them, walk them around the school hall and feed them. We found it quite ticklish when they ate their food out of our hands but managed to stay very still. We…

After all our hard work over this term, we invited our parents to see what we have been doing in ASDAN. We’ve  been working really hard on looking after our environment and recycling. We looked at all different kinds of things that you can recycle. We looked at things that are good and bad…

10G had a very busy week last week. We loved reading The Gingerbread Man story as part of our Functional English work and we had fun joining in with the repeated rhyme. We got a little messy as part of our Attention Autism session but showed very good listening and found the mess very funny! Our…

This week 11R have been busy with lots of new things including visiting Preston College twice and beginning our new ASDAN module, Environmental awareness. 

We thought about what environments are and how they link to our local community before thinking about how we could improve our school…
