It is always an exciting time for the children when they gain their pen licence, enabling them to make the move from writing in pencil to pen.

For this rite of passage, the children have to show that they can write neatly and consistently in cursive, joined handwriting in all of their work, not just handwriting tasks.

The following children have shown pride in their presentation of all of their learning tasks and have been awarded a Pen Licence and their first handwriting pen.

• Hermione
• Feranmi

Well done!

As part of Maths Week England 2023, Crescent took part in the England Rocks Competition on TTRS. Any correct answer was added to the school score and created an average score per pupil so it was fair to compete against classes and against 4,362 other schools across the country. Crescent came 2687th!

Pupils that contributed the most to our score were 😀:

• 1st Kian 4C
• 2nd Shiv 6W
• 3rd Alfie 4C

In school our best contribution from a class were as follows: 

• 1st 4C
• 2nd 5F
• 3rd 6W

Thank you to anyone who added to the score.

• Uma 3SS has completed 24% of the course
• Kiki 3SS has completed 24% of the course

Results for England Rocks Competition are in this Courier.

Most improved speedsters in the studio are:

• Leela - Rock Star!

5F

• Matthew - Rock Hero! 0.93 seconds per answer

4C

• Taran - Unsigned Act!
• Nimeeta - Garage Rocker!
• Charlotte - Rock Star!

Battle between all classes 23 - 30 November 2023. 

TT Rock stars will block 2x,5x,10x,11x on jamming if you are efficient at them, so you cannot pick easy ones just to score more points in the competition! 

Please note only the children should play on their account or it influences the level appropriate to them.

Stay Calm and Rock on!!
