Headmaster's Message

Dear Parents

It has been a busy week here in school, with lots of sport and music to enjoy. I particularly enjoyed the joint orchestral performance by Crescent and Crackley Hall pupils on Tuesday afternoon. It was great to see the two schools working together in harmony and producing such a wonderful sound. The final version of 'In the Mood' was a real triumph. Many thanks to all the children and teachers involved.

I missed World Book Day today due to an ISA conference but I do look forward to seeing the pictures of all the outfits in today’s Courier. I know many of the children were really looking forward to the day.

You will receive this afternoon a letter from me regarding our plans to meet the potential effects of the coronavirus in our school. We have already taken many extra measures here to increase the stringency of the cleaning regime and install hand sanitisers across the site. We have worked hard to ensure that children are washing their hands thoroughly and regularly and I have to say the children have responded extremely well to all that we have asked of them. Please do take the time to read this letter carefully, which will arrive in your inbox as a separate email.

In the meantime, I wish you all a relaxing weekend.

Crescent Celebrates World Book Day

What a wonderful and wide range of book characters bounded into school this morning to celebrate World Book Day as Crescent School jumped at the chance to take part in this annual literary-loving homage, rising superbly to the creative costume challenge.

Characters from the Harry Potter stories, Where's Wally, Mary Poppins, The BFG, Sleeping Beauty, The Cat in the Hat, The Selfish Crocodile, Fantastic Mr Fox, Gangsta Granny, Cleopatra, Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, The Boy in the Dress and many many more filled the classrooms, corridors and playground of the school. It really was a sensational sight. The teachers were resplendent in their own costumes too and there were even reports of a Dementor taking assembly this morning.

The joys of reading and the pleasure of sharing a book are enjoyed by all here at the Crescent. Huge thanks to the parents for helping their children with their utterly amazing costumes. 

Junior School Orchestras Put On An Impressive Show

On Tuesday 3 March, Crescent School welcomed musicians from fellow Foundation junior school, Crackley Hall, for an orchestral workshop. It was a great opportunity for the young virtuosos to play together, as 16 members of Crackley Hall’s Orchestra joined 16 Crescent instrumentalists for a day designed to develop and stretch their music and performance skills.

Pupils from both schools worked under the guidance of Directors of Music, Julie Barnes and Susan Olden, to prepare and rehearse a mixture of pieces ready for an afternoon performance for parents.

The children enjoyed a busy morning and afternoon of rehearsals, they relished making music together, especially in such a big group. They worked hard to prepare three challenging pieces, including the instantly recognisable I Am Sailing by Rod Stewart, two complicated movements, Woody’s Round Up and When She Loves Me, from Toy Story 2 and the catchy big band number In The Mood by Glen Miller. All of the pieces tested the players’ technical and music-reading ability to the limit.

The afternoon concert was super, a sensational symphony of sound. As well as featuring the full 32-piece orchestra playing their now near perfect pieces, it included four solo performances, two from each school. Thomas Zanyi played The Hunter’s Choice on cello, Jasper Nicholls played Mr Creek on alto saxophone, Holly Delaney-Waugh played Somewhere Over The Rainbow on violin and Henry Corbin played Theme and Allegro Brillante from Grand Fantasia.

Mrs Barnes, Director of Music at Crescent, commented, “It was another very successful day and the pupils enjoyed working and collaborating together. They achieved a very high standard of performance, and this was due in no small part to the preparation and practising that went on in the weeks beforehand”.

Mrs Olden, Director of Music at Crackley Hall, agreed commenting, "The children had a brilliant day, it was fantastic for them to play with different instruments and with so many other talented musicians."

It was a great to see the young musicians enjoying learning and working together!

Goodbye Miss Wren

At the end of this term we will say goodbye to our longest serving member of staff. Alice Wren has been with the school since 1992 and has worked in a range of capacities, most recently as our resident Pre-Prep reading expert. Not all of you will know that Alice is actually the daughter of Mr Ian Wren, a previous headmaster here. When Mr Wren retired Alice stayed on as a teaching assistant and has been a really valuable TA and much-loved colleague at the school ever since.

Many children here, both past and present, have benefited enormously from Alice’s kindness, patience and expertise. I know many people will be very sad to see her go. However, Alice has decided, with the full support of the school, that the time has come for her to move onto the next phase of her life and she will be moving down to Cardiff to be nearer to her family.

We have planned some farewell treats for Alice, and she is particularly delighted with the naming of the new Wellbeing space after her, which will be known as the ‘Wren’s Nest’. You will be hearing more about this initiative in the next few weeks.

The move will happen during the Easter holiday so Friday the 27 March will be Alice’s last day at school. We wish her all the very best for the future.

Wellbeing Day

Well, well, well!! 

What a fantastic day we had last Friday! 

Our first Wellbeing Day was well planned, well executed and well received by everyone in our school community!

There was a real buzz about the school and when I spoke to the children during my lunch duty, they could articulate the activities they enjoyed and remembered the session it related to as well, so the outcomes were noticeable too!  A huge THANK YOU to our teaching staff for their carefully planned sessions (and their improvisation too!) which enabled the children to recognise the Five Ways to Wellbeing.  

Here's a few of the highlights:

CONNECT
Walking around the school I found Reception creating the longest paper chain I had ever seen, all contributing and connecting their links together. Year 1 were unusually quiet but I soon saw they were playing Chinese whispers and connecting through speaking and listening skills!  Class 3S were making collaborative pieces of art - as the music stopped, they moved to another drawing and added their own details to evolve it. Mrs Monteith was having fun taking photos of group tableaus as the children posed for a photos such as being on a roller coaster and sitting in a car wash!
 
LEARN
Mrs Forth gave the upper school a fantastic opportunity to learn some British Sign Language and the children practised hard in communicating with their peers. Mdme. Tatton gave the children a unique experience learning about sticks and what different marks and details mean. They used their senses to broaden their understanding and will probably never look at a stick in the same way again!  In the Science room, Mrs Byrne and Class 6Y were learning about the vast number of different geckos there are all with very intricate detailing - they loved learning and drawing these fascinating creatures.
 
BE ACTIVE
It amazes me how much fun you can get by throwing balls around in the hope of hitting something - or someone!  Mr Phillips set up a fortress and facilitated a dodge-ball battle in the hall with some year groups, which the children loved! The corridor became a bowling alley for Years 5 and 6 where they polished their skills and cheered each other on with Mrs Byrne.
 
TAKE NOTICE
This way of wellbeing was approached very differently between the year groups which gave a fantastic variety of experiences. Reception and Class 1S were found wandering around school on a colour walk - taking notice of the variety and prevalence on their colour chart and Class 3S enjoyed Minecraft Yoga by following Jaime from Cosmic Kids online.
 
Mrs Webb fed back about her sessions, " 'Notice' was the area I worked on with the children in Years 5 and 6. This gave them time to stop, giving them space to notice small things. We discussed birdsong, sunsets , breathing and beautiful views, about allowing ourselves time for awe and wonder.

"In class they practised noticing skills with mindful colouring, playing Guess Who and Articulate and describing items small objects hidden in a bag without seeing them. All of this was to develop their sense of noticing the finer detail."

GIVE
Giving came in different ways and for different reasons - Class 2W made promises over this Lenten period, Class 3S gave compliments and words of affirmation to their class mates and 4M made origami tulips to give to someone special.
 
Mrs Yates also shared her experiences, "I had the pleasure to deliver sessions on the 'give' aspect of well being to Years 5 and 6. We discussed all the different things we can give to others and the benefits this has not only on the receiver but the giver too. The children produced little notes of thanks or inspirational quotes to give to others. Some chose to be personal in their giving and others chose to be generic and anonymous. The  kind and loving atmosphere this created was palpable. The children were so original and thoughtful in their words, which were so moving and heartfelt.

"There was a very genuine sense of love and empathy in these sessions which all the children benefited from. I felt privileged to be part of it."

I hope you have been able to gain some insight into our day. I was very encouraged by the engagement of the children and their abilities to understand and reflect on their own lives. Each child collected stickers during the day and then created an action plan in one or more of the Ways of Wellbeing where they could make changes for the better. We are all looking forward to another Wellbeing Day next year already!

Around The Classes

Class 1E Celebrate 100 Days in Year 1

Securing place value to 100 then extending above is a key element of maths understanding in Year 1. We have been counting up the days since we started way back in September, each day discussing the number of tens and the number of ones.

Reaching 100 where we open up a whole new place value column is a big achievement which required celebration in style. The children decorated biscuits and made 100 day hats in the morning.

In the afternoon the party began with educational pass the parcel (each layer may have contained a sweet but also contained a maths problem to solve). The prize at the end was 18 Freddo bars. The maths was simple – 18 chocolate bars divided by 18 children and the children showed their ever building teamwork skills by agreeing that sharing would be best. Maths continued looking at pairs and tally charts playing ‘ladders’ and speed was of the essence playing duck, duck, goose.  Both noise and fun were high but party food at the end of the day was a brief moment of quiet reprise. Here’s to the next 100!

5F Reflections On Macbeth

5F have explored a variety of adapted versions of Macbeth, to enable them to enjoy the story, gain knowledge of language and ideas for stories. They were then given an open learning task to show their understanding of Macbeth. Some of their ideas were: a diary of the witches,  modern adaptations, there was a version in scratch and a poster. Hopefully this will inspire them to enjoy Shakespeare further as they grow up.

6Y Creative PE

It's not often that I teach PE but I had the pleasure of working with 6Y on the key ball skills of catching, throwing and stopping. After practising the initial skills they then used their Higher Order Thinking experitse to create a way of practising their ball skills, it was great to see them doing constant evaluations and adaptions to make the drill better.

School Promise Rule Of The Week

For a two or three week period this year we will be focusing on one of the sayings in the new School Promise. We will talk about this in assembly and in form period. It would be great if you could discuss this with your children at home and support the messages we are emphasising in school.

This week’s promise is in the category of Good Learners.

The school council chose this one in the category of Good Learners as all children know that they learn best when they are focused in class and there is a determined, hardworking atmosphere.

Uniform Standards Reminder

Children often grow quickly and its good to check and replace any damaged, missing or ill-fitting items.  A full list of uniform requirements can be found on page 19 of the parent information booklet.

We would ask you to check:

  • Uniform is labelled with the child's name not initials. We have a lot of uniform in lost property which is not labelled so we are unable to return.
  • Your child is wearing their own uniform as Coats/Jumpers/Cardigans/Blazers etc sometimes get mixed up
  • Dress/Skirt length should be on or below the knee
  • Children have the correct PE kit for their year and have the school tracksuit (Y3-6)
  • Please ensure your child has a school winter hat. 
  • Hair should be tied back.
A list of items stocked in school can be found under Housekeeping.

Thank you
