Reach New Heights Campaign

Yorkshire Three Peaks 

The Askwith PTA believes in providing our children with every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. That's why we're thrilled to announce the launch of our "Reach New Heights" campaign! This campaign aims to raise £5,000 for outdoor learning equipment and other items that foster creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning in our school. Equipment will include nature exploration kits, larger equipment to support gross motor development and planters.

Staff and parents had a wonderful time wreath making in December. Thank you to the PTA for organising this festive event!

To mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, Class 1 decorated the phone box in Askwith using collaged Union Jacks, crowns and bunting. 

The whole school designed bunting and table decorations for the Askwith Jubilee street party. 

The children worked hard on their DT Challenge: to build a structure for an egg! We were lucky to have two special judges from the community - Andrea and her granddaughter. The children's creations were so fantastic that Andrea and her granddaughter found judging the competition really difficult! 

Years 1 and 2 decided that their leftover fruit shouldn't go to waste, so they decided to donate any fruit to the local farmers for their animals to eat. Mr and Mrs Dibb said "Thank you to Year 1 and Year 2 for all the fruit and vegetables - the hens absolutely loved them!". 

As part of the Queen's Green Canopy initiative and to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we were lucky to find an opportunity in Askwith to plant over 100 saplings in partnership with The Woodland Trust.

The children had a wonderful time planting the trees! Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered their time and expertise, including Mrs Crabtree for her beautiful photos.

The children in Class 1 had the opportunity to create some festive artwork to be displayed in the Askwith Phone Box. They enjoyed using paint, collage and print to create their masterpieces!

The children in Class 4 created artwork for the Harvest edition of the Washburn and Mid-Wharfe Churches magazine.  

The children in Reception and Nursery had the opportunity to create some harvest inspired artwork to decorate the village phone box again using autumnal colours and their favourite fruit and vegetables!

Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, we cannot hold our fabulous Christmas Fayre this year! So, to raise a few pounds and spread a little Christmas cheer, we’ve decided to do a Christmas Raffle.

Tickets are £1 each, or £5 per strip. Please click the link for more information.
