On Monday in cooking we made traditional coconut cookies, we measured out the ingredients and mixed them all together. We all enjoy tasting our delicious creations. We also looked at the importance of making the right choices and what these look like. We went through a variety of situations and what we think is the correct choice and why and how these would make us feel. The learners also looked at the importance of different celebrations like Vesak his birthday and how this is celebrated across the religion. We looked at what decorations would be displayed we celebrating and made our own Vesak Lanterns [RE](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/re) [Equality](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/equality) [8P Class](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/8p-class) [ Our Amazing Week in 9P!](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-23-16-09-our-amazing-week-in-9p) [KS4 Options - 28.01.26 ](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-28-11-38-ks4-options-28-01-26) ![Astley Park School](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/logo/AstleyPark_School_footer_logo.png) #### Astley Park School Harrington Road Chorley Lancashire PR7 1JZ 01257 262227 #### School Info - [Admissions](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/school-info/admissions) - [Fundraising](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/useful-info/astley-park-school-parents-staff-friends-association/fundraising) - [Ofsted Info](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/school-info/ofsted) - [SEND Information](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/school-info/send) - [Vacancies](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/school-info/vacancies) - [Contact Us](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Parents/Carers - [Behaviour](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/behaviour) - [Arbor](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/arbor) - [LPPA](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/lppa) - [Online Safety](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum-classes/online-safety) - [Attendance](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/attendance) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/astleyparkschool) © Copyright 2016–2026 Astley Park School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
