Headmaster's Message
Dear Parents
We all enjoyed a wonderful dress rehearsal of the Nursery and Reception’s Nativity performance in the hall on Thursday. It gives all the staff so much pleasure to see how the Reception children have settled into their new school and gained the confidence to speak, act, sing and dance in front of a hall full of children and adults. In the singalong section at the end, not only were all of the older children joining in with the actions they had just learnt, so were many of the staff. I’ll be singing that last chorus in my head for days. We look forward to both nativity performances to parents planned for next week. If yesterday‘s rehearsal was anything to go by, you are in for a real treat.
Many of you have already been in this week to see the Christmas art corridors. Given that our theme was recycling, I was amazed by the variety and quality of all the work that the children and teachers produced. The old saying that necessity is the mother of invention has clearly got something in it. Well done to everyone involved.
As we prepare this week’s Courier, preparations are fully in flow for this evening's Christmas bazaar. Hopefully I will get to see you all on the hoopla stall. Thanks to everyone for your generous support of the fundraising efforts of the Friends of Crescent, and special thanks to the committee members and Zara Corbin for all of the amazing work that they do behind the scenes.
I have struggled through the week with a cough and a cold so I will be glad of the chance of some rest over the weekend. I hope you all manage to do the same, at least at some point. We are currently shopping for two or three Christmas presents each weekend so that will need to be fitted in somewhere as well. As for the tree, that can wait one more week.
