St Helens Super League Champions 2019
Saints RLFC were kind enough to visit our school and bring with them their Super League Trophy. They went into each class, an amazing treat for our children. Look at how thrilled Year 3 are !!
Quadkids Competition
Quadkids is a simple 4 event athletic format made up a 75m sprint, a 600m middle distant, a 'vortex howler' throw and a standing long jump. Ten children from Y5 and Y6 representing Ashurst (in the pouring rain) participated in all events and showed great resilience. Well done to you all!
St Helens RLFC (Saints) led on sporting lessons for Year 2, 3 and 4. We all thoroughly enjoyed learning how to pass a rugby ball and the skills involved.
Look at the variety of competitions and after school clubs that take place in Ashurst Primary.
