Thank you to everyone who has visited the Bookfair this week, it has had an energetic buzz which thrills me to see how many children like to read and how many parents support it. We have made over £1,750, of which we get 60%, this will ensure each form can buy new books for their class libraries to further support reading at Crescent School.
Thank you to members of the FoC who have been invaluable with their help running the fair.
13-17 November, Crescent took part in Maths Week England for the first time. We have plenty of Maths on our timetable in the week, but this was a chance for children to apply their skills in different ways.
In classes, children were challenged to solve puzzles like the daily 'Date Puzzle', online there were daily conundrums of varying levels - Tuesday's was particularly tricky involving trains through the station.
Times Table Rockstars ran a national competition - England Rocks (Results in the TTRS Rewards Section) and there was a poster competition called '3 is the Magic Number'. We had plenty of entries, just a few are in this Courier, but most of them are on Twitter/X and we wait to see if there are any winners from the judges. If you like a Maths challenge yourself check out Maths Week England - 13-18 November 2023
The whole school event was the Maths Trail to compete for the Interhouse Maths Trophy. Pupils from 1Q all the way to 6W contributed 1 house point per correct answer. Ms Forth wrote questions about the maths around us at Crescent; pupils needed to use their eyes and brains to count, analyse, calculate and measure to find answers. House captains marked and calculated the scores. Thank you to everyone who contributed points to their house.
Results were as follows:
Well done Red House, Maths Champions 2023.

Christmas Jumper day will be upon us very soon! We are offering the opportunity for children to swap their Christmas Jumper!
If your child would like to bring in a jumper that is too small for them or they just fancy a change, they can bring one to the Science room and swap it with one off the rack. Please remember children can only take a jumper if leaving one behind.
Remember to make sure the jumpers are clean and not damaged so others can take it home and love it again!
Thank you

Please see the NHS link below for some useful information for deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they're unwell.

When parking around the school site to drop off and collect your children please be mindful of the needs of other road users and in particular the safety of pedestrians.
In particular, please avoid parking at or near to road junctions or over entrances to driveways.
I have included below the article from Warwickshire Police which they asked schools to circulate earlier this year:
Good Afternoon
Just a friendly reminder, now that schools are back can all parents/guardians dropping off or collecting their children, please adhere to all parking regulations. If you do not do so and park where you should not, you can end up with a parking ticket.
If you have an issue with parking then please contact Rugby Borough Council.
Warwickshire County Council have also authorised a vehicle to drive around and observe school parking, ticketing anyone who causes any traffic offences.
Here is a flyer with some parking information.
