Congratulations to Chloe, George and Tegan whose artwork was added to the School Art Gallery this week.  Their certificates were awarded in Assembly this morning.

Mrs Byrne
Art Teacher

The following children's work has been selected to be in the Exhibition of Young Artists at Warwick School. 

• Class III - Faris and Liana for their wonderful art in the style of Lowry
• Class V - Ariana and Rania for their colourful 3D Braque style musical instrument
• Class VI - Tilly for her super landscape print

Very well done to all these artistic children who have all been invited to the official opening of the exhibition on Saturday 2 February.

Invites have been given out but please contact Mrs Byrne for any questions.

Some of Crescent's pupils were among 80 young singers from local primary schools that enjoyed a super day of singing when they attended Princethorpe's Choral Fun Day. 

The Year 5 and 6 pupils tackled a variety of choral pieces from popular favourites such as Katie Perry’s Roar, classics such as Abba’s I Have A Dream and The Beatles’ Nowhere Man, traditional works such as Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho and The Sally Gardens, to the wonderfully corny hit Everything Is Awesome from the LEGO movie.

As well as rehearsing furiously, the visiting children took part in a musical team scavenger hunt and enjoyed lunch in the Refectory.

The day culminated in an impressive gala performance of their newly learnt pieces in front of an enthusiastic capacity audience of family and friends in the College's newly refurbished Clarkson theatre, followed by afternoon tea for all.

Commenting on the day, Princethorpe's Director of Music, Gil Cowlishaw said, "We were really impressed by the children. They achieved such a lot in just a few hours, learning six songs and then taking to the stage to perform is no mean feat, well done to them all!”

Paul Hay's excellent presentation last week has given children, staff and parents plenty of food for thought regarding all of our online habits and usage.  There are plenty of high quality articles out there which promote family agreement and healthy conversation about how we all balance this part of our lives ongoing.

I will provide links to different aspects every few weeks via The Courier which I hope you will all find useful.
