Ash class organised a day of activities for Hello Yellow Day to go towards their volunteering element of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Hello Yellow Day is a charity supporting young minds and yesterday was World Mental Health Day.
Ash pupils planned Wellie Wangling, football shoot outs, high tea, and Minion films for the students and Bacon sandwiches for staff. All the school gathered in the afternoon for a fun filled Custard Pie quiz for the senior staff.
Ash students would like to thank some organisations who donated goods for this event.
Waitrose, Dorchester for the high tea ingredients.
Barrett Bros in Crewkerne for the lovely bacon
Moores Biscuits in Bridport for prizes.
The whole school enjoyed a fun filled day and learnt the importance of good mental health awareness.

On 11th and 12th July, 7 students from Ash class took part in their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition. They have been working on their other sections through the year. We prepared for the expedition with map reading and navigation, stove cooking and basic first aid. Day 1 we started the day preparing a brunch of noodles and pancakes cooking on Trangia stoves to give us some extra energy. We then walked around the Mapperton estate following a circular route. Day 2 we set off from school walking a route out to Netherbury church and back round to Beaminster. The expedition was assessed externally and all the students who completed both days passed with flying colours. Lynn our assessor was very impressed with their navigation skills and how their team work developed over the two days. Well done Ash students!

As part of Arts Week, the drama group went to the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis to take part in a workshop with year 10 students from Woodroffe School. It was an amazing morning playing drama games and acting out the story ‘Get off my train.’ The day was really spectacular with lots of good communication, interaction, creativity and collaboration.
We also took the opportunity to practice A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the theatre stage!
The students loved this and all said what a great day they had!

What an amazing Prom we had last week. The Key Stage 4, 5 and 6 form students came back into school for their Glitz & Glamour Prom. Students arrived in a variety of ways from a tractor, motorbike, convertible cars to hoverboard! Students had selected their own menu and we had a bar serving beautiful Mocktails. A disco provided the music while a magician entertained them with card tricks .
A fantastic time was had by all.
