The Courier

Wind, Brass and Drums players from Years 5 and 6 spent a day at Rugby School at their first Prep Schools Wind Band Day. Along with pupils from three other schools in the area, pupils studied four pieces, all from films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Home Alone, culminating in a concert for parents at the end of the day.

A superb standard of performance was reached in a short time and it was great experience for all the players.

It’s been Maths Week England this week, and Crescent School has enjoyed joining in this national celebration of the importance of maths. In school all week, pupils have been taking part in exciting maths activities and challenges to help them appreciate how much maths is a part of our everyday lives. They have also discovered that maths can be found all around them and that maths can be an awful lot of fun.

Deputy Head, Ms Forth organised an amazing Interhouse Maths Trail and KS2 pupils put their maths skills to good use as they solve numerical questions and challenges all around the school. Pupils have also been taking part in the Times Table Rock Stars special Maths Week Challenge, there have been maths challenge posters in the Cosy Corner at lunchtimes and then we had plenty of entries for the ‘Maths Is An Art Form’ competition, featuring the magical number 3.

We hope everyone enjoyed finding out that there is far more to maths than just calculations and tests!

We received an email from Rugby Food Bank today thanking us the school for the Harvest Festival donations:

Many thanks for your generous donation to Rugby Foodbank. Your Harvest donation weighed in at 186 kg of food.

Please pass on our gratitude to all your congregation for their generous donations. I have attached a Thank You certificate accordingly for you to circulate or display.

Many thanks and blessings

Thank you to everyone who entered a pumpkin photograph over the holidays - each entry earned 5 house points for their house! There were many fantastic entries but three prep and three Pre-Prep winners had to be chosen, earning 150, 100 or 50 extra points for their houses.

Congratulations to Edward, Sophie and Freddie from Pre-Prep.  Orlaith, Alex B and Zac from Upper School.

Well done all!
