We have then produced a Remembrance Garden where children, teachers, parents and carers as they pass can take a minute to stop, reflect, pray and of course remember. ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2962.JPG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2963.JPG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2961.JPG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2960.JPG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2959.JPG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2959.JPG) Juniors took part too... ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2725(1).JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2727(1).JPEG) Early years enjoyed planting their poppies and then took time to pause... ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2717(1).JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2723(1).JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_2724(1).JPEG) **Thanks to the school council for a wonderful assembly and how we can help our community this Christmas as we will once again collect for the 'Shoebox Fairies' for local Wigan families.** **![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/Catholic/IMG_1597.PNG)** **Wow - What fantastic art work from all the children showing their passion for climate change.** ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/WebsiteRE/IMG_1681.JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/WebsiteRE/IMG_1679.JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/WebsiteRE/IMG_1685.JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/WebsiteRE/IMG_1684.JPEG) ![](https://ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/images/WebsiteRE/IMG_1680.JPEG) **We have thought hard about Harvest this year and wanted to create hampers for 'The Brick' and support our local community in Wigan and food banks.** Thank you for all your support and to the drivers who volunteered to collect them!
