What a wonderful time the children had in our new co-curricular club this week.  Pre-Prep Mini Music is an extra addition to Crescent's co-curricular programme and will run every Tuesday morning before school.

Organsied by Mrs Fisher, the children atttending the club will have plenty of fun playing a variety of 'whacky' musical instruments.  They will enjoy exploring and creating a wide range of sounds!

Over the summer holidays Mrs Fisher has sourced lots of lovely new instruments to play and, as you can see from the photos this week, at the first session the children had a whole lot of fun!

A huge thank you to all the Year 6 helpers who came along to help with the club.

Class 1E have been learning all about concentric shapes this week. They used water colours to add their choice of colours and worked very hard to paint within the lines.

Repeated practise of number formation supports both the shape and the direction of numbers and enables the children to correctly form their numbers automatically.  

Practise builds muscle memory in the hand but doesn’t need to be just writing on paper. We have been writing on each other’s backs with our fingers, making large numbers in the air, creating numbers out of playdough, making number shapes with our bodies and writing them in trays of salt which is lots of fun.

Class 2W started their Mini-Brass lessons this week.  The children were very excited to be learning an instrument and could not wait to take it home to show their parents what they had learnt.
