Reception The Very Hungry Caterpillar Puppet Shows

In home learning this week the children were given a template to make their own puppets. They were asked to use their puppet as props to retell the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ that has been our focus text. The shows the children performed were nothing short of brilliant! Children used wonderful expression in their retellings and all displayed excellent understanding of the story.

Reception’s Pizza Party

Pizza - what a wonderful way to end the year in Reception. Mrs Rougeolle (Seren’s mummy) very kindly organised personal margarita pizzas to be delivered to school from Dominoes on Friday lunchtime. Those that couldn’t be with us at school joined the party via Teams and lots of fun was had by all.

Special Guests In Reception

During home learning Alfie (with a little parental help) created some wonderful work as part of our 'Once Upon A Time' topic. Wayne the Wolf and Graham the Gingerbread Man, two life size creations, visited us in Reception this week. I know they usually take pride of place at home - thank you Alfie for sharing your brilliant creations.

Class 1E Finish The Year In Style

What a lovely last day in Year 1! This morning we had our own Sports Day, with the children showing great determination, competitiveness as well as camaraderie. We enjoyed individual running races, relays, an obstacle course, hurdles and galloping horses. Lots of fun! The afternoon was the cumulation of our planning this week for our teddy bears picnic. The children have written invitations, created party plans, made decorations and today brought their teddies in to enjoy our picnic. We had music, games, dancing and some delicious party food. A thoroughly enjoyable end to the most unusual of years that Class 1E have just taken in their stride. You have all been amazing!!

A very proud Mrs Emery!

Year 1 and 2 Trip To The Zoo

In the absence of a real day at the zoo last Friday, Year 1 and 2 children rose to the challenge of completing virtual zoo based activities showing fabulous creativity in designing their own plan for a zoo and an advertisment (poster, video or voice) persuading families that it was the place to go this summer.

Class 1E And 2W French Zoo Day

For zoo day on Friday 26 June 2020, as part of their French lessons, Class 1E and 2W were asked to make either an animal mask or an animal model and to describe its colours in French. Can you guess who is hiding behind the masks?

Class 6Y Final Week fun

Class 6Y have enjoyed their final week at Crescent. Whilst it has not been a typical final week at school, there's been plenty of fun and shared time with friends. They have been a brilliant class and it has been my absolute pleasure to be their form tutor for three years. Friday will be a whole mixture of emotions as we try to say our goodbyes at a social distance...without hugs!

Whilst there will undoubtedly be some sadness there will also be huge pride in the wonderful young people who are now fully prepared to fly Crescent's nest and move on to the exciting futures which await them.

Good luck in all you do 6Y!

Year 6 Tea Party And Water Fight

On Tuesday, Year 6 enjoyed a Tea Party out on the grass. It was different from our usual Leavers Final School Dinner, but it was a great chance to sit with friends and reminisce about their time at the Crescent School. And, as a leaver, we made sure Mr Phillips took part as well!

Then on Thursday the children and staff had a special treat - a water fight, it was great fun and everyone got very wet.

There was a lot going on in the final few days of term, culminating in the Leavers' Service on Friday. We were determined to make sure Year 6 had an extra special few days and to send them all off to their new schools in style.
