We started the week with a Sun Safety assembly, where the children were reminded why the sun is our friend, but also why we need to treat it with respect. We learned all about the six Sun S’s:

Slip, Slop, Slap and Seek, Slide, Slurp!

We thanked our new UV Monitor, Olivia in 6W for all her hard work with the UV Index board in the Horton Centre and we revealed our exciting competition.

The children have been invited to design a sun safety poster incorporating the six Sun S’s. These can be designed on the computer or by hand. The closing date is Friday 26 May and the two winners, one from upper school and one from lower school, will be announced and prizes awarded, after the half term break. All entries will be displayed around the school.

It is always good to see that Year 6 are becoming more independent in readiness for their senior schools. Please can you let Mrs Tucker and me know what days your child is getting to or from school independently and if they will have a phone with them, which we will then look after in the office until the end of the day.  

Thank you

Crescent School is taking part in the Big Battery Hunt. A national competition for schools to collect and recycle batteries.  

Pupils will be given a small box (one per family) to place your old batteries in and bring them into school (some classes will receive the boxes this week and some next week). There are four types of batteries we can recycle - AAA / AA / C / D. Please follow the safety guidelines (in this document) when handling batteries. 

We will be keeping a count of all batteries collected and recycled and will submit our final number to the competition by Friday 16 June 2023. Crescent can win great prizes if we top the national leader board with the highest number of batteries recycled by one school. 

In addition, there will be an opportunity for a pupil to be entered into an additional competition - Battery Recycling Pioneer for the Month of May.
