Good luck to Stephanie and Sienna who are swimming at the ISA National Finals at the London Olympic Pool tomorrow.

We are all very proud of you.

It was an especially colourful assembly this morning, as you can see from the photo.   There were lots of fantastic Christmas accessories on display as the children looked forward to their special festive art day. You are all invited to come and see the outcome of all their hard work at our Open Corridor session next Tuesday 3 December.

On Wednesday 27 November Crescent School’s Year 5 pupil, Michael Mercer, took part in Winning on Wheels – a wheelchair sports event organised by Think Active and hosted by Warwickshire College in Henley-in-Arden.

During the day Michael took part in different wheelchair sports and activities including, basketball, racing, rugby and dance, alongside children with disabilities from across Warwickshire from Year 5 through to Year 11.

Michael had an amazing time trying out and playing all the different sports and had the privilege of meeting Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Triple Paralympian, Mandip Sehmi.  Manni (as he likes to be known) showed the youngsters the basics of wheelchair rugby.  They were even all allowed to have a go in the special sports wheelchairs, the ones that allow you to slam into each other!

Michael said, “It was really fantastic to meet Manni and to have a go at all of the wheelchair sports.  I really enjoyed the day it was a lot of fun.”

It was a great opportunity for Michael and our thanks go to Think Active for organising the event.

Annalise was awarded with a Blue Peter badge for writing a factual story called Marathon Man. The story was all about the man who attempted to run a marathon in under two hours. Annalise described how the running conditions were perfect: “not too hot, not too cold!” And he did it! His name is Eliud Chipkoge. 

Well done Annalise.

From Monday 2 December 2019 the Crescent School Christmas Post Box will be open for the festive season.

Year 6 will be running the Post Box by the pupil door every morning from 8.15am-8.40am. We encourage children to drop  their Christmas cards in here to save disruption of lessons.

The Christmas cards are then sorted by the Year 6 elves and delivered on the final day of term.

All cards must have the full name of the recipient and their class and we ask for a small donation to our school charity Shine A Light.
