Very well done to Leela in Year 6 and Alice in Year 2, whose artwork has received awards at the recent ISA art competition. Leela’s beautiful still life was highly recommended by the judges. Alice’s wax resist swimmer was awarded a first prize and will go through to the national finals later in the year.
Really well done girls and good luck to Alice in the next stage of the competition.
On Monday 9 October, Crescent School took part in Princethorpe College’s Year 5 Maths Challenge. The event was run by Douglas Buchanan of DCBEAGLE Challenges, who specialises in organising exciting and innovative maths activities for primary school aged children.
Crescent took three teams of two to compete alongside 52 pairs of enthusiastic and very talented mathematicians from 25 local schools, the pupils took part in a series of puzzles against the clock. In five eight-minute rounds the children tackled Tangram Triangles, Broken Calculators, Domino Jigsaws, Make 24, Card Order and Curly’s Cycling Circuits.
Ably supported and marked by a team of Princethorpe’s Year 10 pupils, the competition stretched and challenged the children with mathematical activities that required both reasoning skills and mathematical knowledge.
The event was huge fun for all who took part and everyone who participated received a certificate and a special Princethorpe cookie.
Crescent School’s teams were amazing finishing 2nd, 6th and 16th scoring 125 points, 107 points and 88 points respectively.
Mrs Dowling, who accompanied the children, said, “The children had a great time and really enjoyed putting their maths skills to the test. Well done to them all, there were some very talented mathematicians taking part and they made Crescent School proud.”

Winter hats, gloves and scarfs are optional to wear to school, but they do need to be school provided ones if children wear them. A new green fleece scarf has replaced the white and green striped one, however the striped one can still be worn.
