Friends of Aslacton School

The Friends of Aslacton School run events to raise money for the pupils of the school. Last year we raised with the help of parents and school staff around £2,000 mainly from the Family Fun Day, Quiz and Chips and the Pamper Evening with contributions from Cake Friday and Bun Day. The school discos are not run as fundraising events so only cover the cost of James D’s entertainments and the items sold.

Of the £2,000 raised last year, £800 was spent co-funding school trips. Christmas presents for the pupils, a wreath and table decorating course run for all pupils and on prizes handed out on World Book Day. We will be discussing with the school how they wish to spend the surplus.

We need your help to continue our fundraising as parents previously involved have now left the school. If you are able to join us or if you would just like to help at an event such as a school disco please contact Clare Sisson () or Hannah Brookes () or approach any of the committee in the playground. We would also love to hear any fundraising ideas you have and to receive any feedback on events we run. We have our AGM at 3.15pm on Thursday 14th September in the school which is open to all.

Friends of Aslacton School Committee

Clare Sisson, Hannah Brookes, Jane English, Nikki Booth, Vicki Woodruff, Anne Symonds, Emma Page.

La Jolie Ronde French for Children

12 Taylor Road, West Earlham, Norwich NR5 8LZ

Tel: 01603 458584 Email :

Dear Parents,

Bonjour! Welcome to La Jolie Ronde French for Children…

As a mother of two children, I am totally committed to providing them with the best opportunities in life that I can. I began teaching my children French at nursery age and soon saw what a huge advantage an early start and a fun, yet structured approach gives in learning a foreign language.

As a graduate of French (and Spanish) I have lived and worked in France, but more recently my time has been spent teaching La Jolie Ronde classes. I currently teach pupils in classes at Jack in the Box nursery, Aslacton Primary, Manor Field Infant school and St Mary’s Junior school in Long Stratton.

This is what my La Jolie Ronde classes provide:

• A unique, carefully structured and proven language course.
• An excellent accent for the children to copy.
• Fun activity books and interactive CD’s which your child won’t be able to put down.
• Small classes so your child can get plenty of individual attention.
• Conversation, basic grammar, games, role-plays, rhymes and stories.
• An awareness of France, its geography and culture.

La Jolie Ronde classes run separately from those offered in the curriculum to children at KS2. The programme is designed to enhance their learning skills and to challenge the children, which means that they excel at French and develop their language skills to the highest level possible.

“One of the most popular and worthwhile extra curriculum activities! “

(Quote from the Daily Telegraph’s Definitive Parents guide to education.)

Classes at Aslacton Primary take place on Monday lunchtimes for 30 minutes. The cost is £5 per lesson payable at the start of each school term. For more information please complete the form and return to the school office or give me a call! Merci.

I am interested in my child learning French with La Jolie Ronde.
