The Courier

Dear Parents

Welcome to the final letter from me for this half term. It has been a happy and productive one in school and has seen us through to the half term holiday in fine fettle. I know many of you will have trips away planned for the week ahead and I very much hope they go to plan and you are able to get in some much needed R&R. I know the hard-working staff here will look forward to taking things a bit easier and enjoying a few late lie-ins.

In our assembly earlier in the week, we learned a little about the life of Saint Valentine but focused more on the relative value of desirable items in our modern society. Probably nobody was very surprised to learn that Ronaldo’s weekly salary of £3,400,000 would buy him approximately 15 averagely priced family homes in the United Kingdom every week. Some children were though a little shocked to find that a painting consisting of splashes and spots of colour was easily the most expensive item we talked about, at £100 million. The fact that it was a Jackson Pollock original may, or may not, have persuaded them of its intrinsic value.

We compared the prices of these items with the cost of simple acts of love or care for a friend or relative. These come free of charge, and for the children in their loving homes and in their caring school, happen on a daily basis. I hope this message got home to the children. It was nice to illustrate it with the story of our local lollipop man, who had helped one of our younger children who had fallen from their scooter on their way into school that very morning. Simple acts of kindness don't cost anything to anyone but make all of our days worth living.

On a personal note, our weekend in Dartmouth with James last week was most enjoyable and gave us a real insight into the life he is leading at the moment and is about to embark on, hopefully in his career ahead. He looked resplendent in his Navy uniform, and Mandy and I were both bursting with pride, as you can imagine. The week ahead for him may not appeal to everybody however, as he is spending it living in a bivouac on Dartmoor. In the midst of unpredictable February weather this should provide some interesting challenges. Personally, I'd love to be able to go and join him. 

Whatever you have planned for the week ahead, I wish you all the very best, and look forward to seeing you and the children back safely in school on Monday 27 February.

Thank you all for your huge generosity and support of our fundraising for Bwengu through our non-uniform day today. The Crescent School has been supporting the work of Bwengu Projects in Malawi for over fifteen years now. This year it is the turn of 4C to raise money for the project. Today has got their challenge off to a great start as we have collected £266.65. Watch out for details of more Bwengu events after half term.

In our Good News assembly this morning, all the children and staff at Crescent school bid a fond farewell to Mr Moore, our chef manager.

Stephen has been with us for the last three years and is a very popular figure amongst both staff and children. The children had made a lovely card for him, with lots of nice messages giving thanks for all the lovely meals over the years. He always has a kind word and a gentle smile for the children, and he will be much missed. 

As he is an ardent Star Wars fan, Mr. Moore left with a message to us all: ‘May the force always be with you’. 

Year 1 explored the weather and seasons in a whistlestop tour around the world on Thursday 16 February. In an exciting workshop they experienced a range of climates, thanks to the Freshwater Theatre Company.

The classes have been getting to grips with weather in their Geography lessons in school and workshop facilitator and Earth Explorer, Debra Meftah, used drama, role play and storytelling to help bring their studies to life.

The children took a memorable and engaging trip to the blistering heat of the Sahara desert, the monsoons of India and the bitter chill of Antarctica and back, meeting camels, elephants and penguins along the way.

Year 1 teachers, Ms Quirke and Mrs Stapleton, said, “The children were excited by the workshop and clearly all enjoyed the session, and it was great reinforcement for their learning in class.”

Well done Year 1, like all British people you clearly are fascinated by the weather!

All children should be bringing home a £1 book token. This is a great excuse to buy more books for you to enjoy over half-term. Take a look at the specially produced books for World Book Day or you can just put the voucher towards the cost of the book that you really want to read.

Happy reading!

Many of you love an excuse to write. This is a great competition from Blue Peter where you can write a story or a poem. Please use the link to find out further details and let me know how you do. Half term could be a great time to become immersed in your writing.

It seems such a long time since we have dressed up for World Book day in school. This year we are celebrating it on Friday 3 March. To celebrate this we are asking the children to come to school dressed as a character from a book. Perhaps this is something you could create over half term.

We love our reading at Crescent school and hopefully this will encourage the children to be further inspired.

All we ask is that the children are dressed appropriately and safely for a day of learning.

No battle over half term, just play for fun, progress and JdVs!

Please do not do jamming and pick easy tables - that does not improve your maths skills and could lead to disqualification from competitions.  Children should play on their account or it influences the level appropriate to them.

Stay Calm and Rock on!! 

Following the ‘Let’s Connect’ artwork celebrated in the Courier last week, other classes have completed tasks to raise awareness of Children’s Mental Health Week too.

In Reception the children passed a smile in circle time, watched a clip about what mental health means and talked about ways they can keep our minds healthy like their bodies.

They picked up half a heart and got into pairs with whoever had the matching half and made each other a valentine's card. They also gave their partners compliments and said what they liked about each other.

1Q connected by finding out more information about each other and spending some time engaging in mindful colouring and 2E played ‘Connect 4’ which enabled them to find out new things about their classmates and used this to win their game.

4C completed the paper chain activity from the ‘Place2Be’ website in their PSHE time.

5F tried out Pebble Time this week. It is a way to focus on your mind and breathe. Smooth the tactile pebble and reflect on successes or squeeze out your worries, it is effective for both. All you need is a pebble.

In Year 6 like to use questions in registration, open philosophical ones often led by the book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse. They often ask for a question and love listening to and chatting about their own outlooks from this.

It’s been a fantastic response with all classes recognising the need to look after our mental health as well as our physical one – the children enjoyed our whole school ‘Connect Bingo’ too. Look out for further initiatives from our Wellbeing Champions in the coming months!

Some of the things the children have been learning...

It’s hard to believe we have reached the middle of the academic year – time certainly does fly when you’re having fun!

We have introduced doubles in Maths. We have looked at the relationship between simple addition and subtraction. We have used scales to compare weights of classroom objects.

In handwriting we have introduced cursive letters r and u, both part of Rupert the white sheep’s short, straight line letter family.

We have used the stories, The Snail and The Whale and Stickman in Literacy. We have identified rhyme, sequenced main events and completed simple comprehension tasks.

Some of the things the children will be learning in the coming weeks...

Our new topic, ‘Pirates and Mermaids,’ will see us setting sail on some new learning adventures. We will have daily ‘treasure challenges’ and be finding out why pirates love underpants in our focus literacy text.

In Maths, we will be counting on and counting back to solve addition and subtraction problems. We will also be revisiting money and playing shops in role play.

In phonics we have been introduced to blends;

• br as in broom

• cr as in crab

• cl as in clown

• gl as in glass

• fl as in flag

• bl as in black

• pl as in play

• sl as in slug

How to help your child at home…

• Please clarify sounds that are mis pronounced, such as th not f
• Encourage the children to blend words when reading together. Explore rhyming words
• Look closely at letter size and position when practising cursive writing
• Encourage the children to keep a simple holiday diary to share on their return to school. This could be a few photos or scrap book type journal
• Practice writing numbers 0 - 20, correcting any reversals
• Recall doubles to 20
• Compare sizes of familiar objects using simple mathematical language
• Match numerals to amounts

1Q were very busy on Tuesday making Valentine's Day cards for some of the people we care about. This week in Maths we have been doing a recap of what we have learnt throughout this half term and played games to put our skills into practice. In English, we became authors and have started writing our own owl books remembering to always check our work for C.H.I.P.S.

We also had a very exciting and engaging visitor in Year 1, Debra Meftah, where we explored the weather and seasons around the world. This really helped us to consolidate our learning this half term and we even managed to take a quick trip round the world seeing some wonderful animals and weather conditions. 

1S have been practising counting on in 2s, 5s and 10s and working hard to recognise the patterns within this. We have been applying our learning into the recognised format of times tables to introduce the children to multiplying through songs, physical activities and later into our workbooks. Some of our children have expressed an interest in joining the Crescent Times Table Rock Stars community so we have been supporting this on their maths journey too!

Class 2W and 2E have had fun creating their animal sculptures. They carefully observed and modelled the shape and texture of the animals then painted them in the correct colours.

This week has been quite a maths heavy week with some revision sessions of what we have covered since Christmas followed by two end of half term quizzes. As a little light relief, fresh air and exercise, we enjoyed some time outdoors on the activity trail.

In phonics, we reviewed the four ways we have already learnt to make the ‘o’ sound before introducing a fifth way. We enjoyed some dice games, including snakes and ladders, to help us secure correct spelling patterns.

In English, we have been in the ICT suite researching characteristics of an animal of our choice. We then used our findings to write a diary recount from the view-point of our animal - practising writing in the first person, using past tense correctly and including a range of different conjunctions to extend our sentences.  

2E and 2W children continue to work hard to practice their words, songs and movements for their production of Animal Rumble Grumble coming up in March.

Children in 2W have been using imperatives in their sentences to write instructions in the style of author Neil Gaiman. We have focused on using 'bossy verbs' to begin our sentences and adding detail to make the interesting.

E.g. "Go through the calm and quiet house - don't be scared of the dog (he's just excited.)" 

"Never go inside the soaking black well - the water will poison you."

Craft Club were developing their sewing skills this week with a little help from Mrs Dowling’s secret supply of pom poms. On pieces of hessian the children drew their own designs before decorating with stiches and applique. Lots of skills were on show, from the original design drawings to the choice of decoration and materials and the concentration and attention to detail as they worked individually to create their pieces. Really super stitching everyone – but remember to look after those precious pom poms!

This half term's chess tournament final saw James victorious over Matthew in a very close match.

Well done, James!

As the weather starts to turn a little warmer and we start seeing the sun again, we can once again get out for some much needed fresh air! We often tend to think of technology and apps as being the antithesis of exercise and outdoor pursuits, but it can in fact provide the perfect stimulus for a real alfresco adventure!

If you have never heard of geocaching, it is essentially a massive outdoor treasure hunt, using GPS and a smart device to locate thousands of hidden ‘caches’ or boxes all over the world! It has been around for a little while now, but it has never been more popular. Technology often gets a bad reputation for putting a stop to children playing and exploring outdoors, but this is certainly a great way to combine both, along with some other fantastic educational and developmental benefits. To get started all you need is a GPS enabled phone and the (free) Geocaching app. From there it’s just a case of scanning your local area for caches, then setting off on a treasure hunt! The caches themselves vary from large boxes, to tiny film canisters and even fake rocks with hidden compartments. Often the caches contain a small trinket to take away and most have log books to sign to record your find. If this all sounds like fun, please have a read of some of the websites linked here for a handy starters guide!

If you have any questions about this, or any other aspect of computing, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

A very excited team were ready to give their best effort on the court against King Henry's. It was a quickfire match with very evenly matched sides, but Crescent dominated the first two quarters in their attacking circle.

Strong, dynamic moves by Alice, Sofie, Maggie, Roisin and Grace resulted in lots of shooting opportunites, and Maisie had her eye in on goal scoring 3 by half time. 

The final quarters brought the defence into play more as the Henry's mid-court players found their fluency, so Leela, Hattie, Shayla and Emily had to battle hard. One goal was conceded, but the final score was a 3-1 win.

It was lovely to see the girls playing with increased confidence.

Well done all.

Last Friday we were delighted to welcome 155 children to our two discos. The afternoon started with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and it was a joy to see them having such a brilliant time. Our professional DJ, Bouncing Bob had them eating out of his hands and the screaming was so loud when he brought out the snow and bubble machines it seemed like they might raise the roof! They all looked lovely in their best party clothes and were a delight to host. 

The second disco for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 seemed the trickier prospect on paper, with a real age range, some of which are harder to engage. Not a problem for Bouncing Bob - again he had them on his side from start to finish and that includes the teachers! Who knew Ms Forth was so good at 'flossing' (apparently just pretend you are making the shape of an isosceles triangle with your body - obvs!) while Mr Thackway couldn't help but join in with Sweet Caroline. 

This year to help engage Year 6 (not usually a fan of the disco) we created a VIP area behind the curtain in the hall. It was then decked out by the Year 6 parents at their own cost, with other extras such as a red carpet, back-stage laminate passes and additional props. Not forgetting the bouncers! The Year 6 parents did a fabulous job and it was a treat to see the Year 6-ers 'letting go' as much as those in the younger years. I was informed by a Year 3 pupil that she "can't wait to be Year 6 so she gets her own VIP area". As a current Year 5 parent I am already nervous about how high the bar has been set! 

As always we are tremendously grateful to all those who gave up their time to help - from the parents who gave out the snacks, to the teachers who stayed on to sign out each child at the end of each disco. Special mention to Mrs Webb for being so supportive in her role as school liaison for FoC and helping make the event such a success. Roll on next year!  

After costs, the event raised £392.29 which is a great result. We already have plans for reinvesting this within school for the children and look forward to revealing these plans after half term.
