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.
