Reception have been busy this week exploring the festival Diwali. As part of their topic on ‘Festivals Of Light’, the children created these divine Diva Lamps and how brilliantly they shone in our classrooms, reminding us all of the power of light over darkness. Well done Reception; what fantastic work!
Reception say Happy Diwali to everyone in the wider Crescent community, we hope you enjoy your celebrations.

Following on from their science topic about light, Year 3 have designed and created card mock-ups of pairs of fun sunglasses. Their challenge included making templates of their own designs, joining frames and temples, inserting lenses and finishing.
Who would have thought that investigations also happen in English?
We are studying poetry on a theme which is related to Black Lives Matter. Within studying and reflecting on the poems one investigation was to see what we could fit in to match the rhyme, rhythm, syllables and sense of the poem; another challenge was a poem which was written with the words merging into each other and the children had to work out the words.
It is always good to hear that the children don't want it to be the end of the lesson!

In our Geography lessons this week for Year 5 and Year 6, we have been learning about the COP26 conference that is taking place this week in Glasgow. The children have been thinking about the challenges of climate change and global warming and as part of the lessons were put into teams to come up with solutions to some of the most pressing problems facing us today.
The children showed great enthusiasm as well as empathy for the subject, one which is is very likely to dominate the news in the coming years and into their adulthood.
In two weeks' time we will be hearing from our Green Team club, who will be talking to us about 'switch off fortnight', a subject that will fit in very well to this week's learning.

Well done Yash.
