Welcome to The Courier, Crescent School's e-newsletter.

The final week of the Lent Trm has been full of sweet treats, from the super Spring Concert on Monday to Year 2’s marvellous production of Pirates Versus Mermaids, the fabulous Bwengu fundraising fun organised by Year 4 and our egg-cellent Easter Service led by Year 5 and the Choir today. 

We wish everyone a restful Easter break and look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday 15 April for the start of the Trinity Term.

Headmaster's Message

Headmaster's Message

Dear Parents and Friends of the School

Spring Term 2024 will be one that lives in all of our memories for a long time, I am certain. We have been dealt a dreadful blow with the passing of a much-loved schoolmate and companion in Barnaby Williams. At such a desperate moment, it has been heartwarming to see so many children, parents and staff come together to celebrate his young life and also to share our feelings of intense sadness, sympathy and admiration with his amazing family.

The school calendar will be coming around to you in a hard copy form during the holiday and you will have received an electronic version already today. As always, there are many highlights to look forward to in the last term of the year, but I would especially draw your attention towards the Concert for Barnaby that we have planned on June 7 and the football tournament the following day. Along with all of the sports days, residential trips, fete, concerts, theatre trips and performances, it promises to be a great term.

The current one has finished with a flourish this week as well. The Spring Concert was followed by the spectacular Year 2 performance to parents, and today we have celebrated an Easter Service with a difference, together with many visiting parents at all of these events. We have also bid a fond farewell to two long serving members of staff who have both, in their own way, played an important part in recent Crescent history. You can read a little more about the contributions that both Lesley Shallcross and Helen Morley have made to the school elsewhere in the Courier, and they depart with the warm best wishes of everyone here.

I hope you feel well set for the Easter break and that any plans that you have for the holiday work out well. This is always one of my favourite breaks of the school year when there isn't too much on the agenda but just a bit of time to decompress and live in a different way, at least for a short time. I am hoping to get up to the west coast of Scotland for a short break and a bit of mountain time, but mostly some gardening, cycling and amateur DIY are on the short to-do list.

Lastly, many thanks to everybody for all of your continued support for the school during this most difficult term. Your messages of support have meant a lot to us all; we appreciate it.

Have a great break everyone.

Important Information

Outdoor Learning In The Summer Term

Next term we are looking forward to the our Outdoor Learning programme for all of the children across the school from Years 1 to 6. This will replace swimming for the final term and will take place each week and in the same slot on the timetable.

Outdoor Learning will consist of a combination of Forest School activities as well as orienteering, team building and leadership skills training. This is a structured and fully planned series of activities that will develop collaborative work skills while enhancing children's growth mindset in problem solving situations. It will also give them the opportunity to learn and work outdoors during the warmer period of the year.

What to wear:

Pupils will need to bring a long sleeved t-shirt, long bottoms, a change of trainers and socks and a pair of gloves to be able to safely take part in the activities. They can either wear their school coat or send in a suitable waterproof coat. All of this needs to be put in a named bag that can be left on their peg for the term. Please ensure all items of home clothes are named.

Year 4 Production Jack And The Beanstalk

I am pleased to announce our Year 4 production this year will be Jack And The Beanstalk.

Over the Easter holidays please could you discuss costumes with your child. Most children are farmyard animals so will need something that suggests their animal. Eg A chicken could be yellow socks pulled up, brown trousers/jeans, a red t-shirt and a rubber glove stuck to a headband. I encourage you to be creative with your children and make the costumes from items you already have at home. This not only saves money but gives wonderful opportunities to be creative and spend time talking about their character.

Please can these costumes be brought into school on Monday 22 April in a named carrier bag. It would be very helpful if every item of costume could be named to help prevent loss. These costumes will then be left in school in my room so they are here for the dress rehearsal and performance later in the term. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me.

Thank you in advance for your creativity and support. Have fun!

Kind regards

Miss Bowdige
Drama Teacher

Year 3 Production Bombs And Blackberries

I am pleased to announce our Year 3 production is Bombs And Blackberries by Julia Donaldson and Thomas Docherty.  

Over the Easter holidays please could you discuss costumes with your child. Most children are evacuees so will need something that suggests this. Eg summer school uniform with long white socks is perfect for this. They will all need a box wrapped up in brown parcel paper to represent a gas mask. I encourage you to be creative with your children and make the costumes from items you already have at home. This not only saves money but gives wonderful opportunities to be creative and spend time talking about their character.

Please can these costumes be brought into school on Monday 22 April in a named carrier bag. (If using the summer school uniform please send the gas mask box with a note to let me know they will have their dress/shorts on the day of the performance.) It would be very helpful if every item of costume could be named to help prevent loss. These costumes will then be left in school in my room so they are here for the dress rehearsal and performance later in the term. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me.

Thank you in advance for your creativity and support. Have fun!

Kind regards

Reception Swimming

Reception Children will be having their 'taster swimming session' in the Trinity Term. The taster session is to show children the school swimming process, with going on the bus, getting to the swimming pool, navigating the swimming pool and meeting the Rugby School swimming teachers. 

Children will all be put into buoyancy aids to begin with as swimming teachers begin their assessment process for safety at this session. It is a fun taster session and their swimming level assessment will take place in September. 

Please ensure swimming kit is brought in on the morning of their swim, children can wear their own swimming costumes/swim caps for this taster but they will need to have Crescent school swimming kit for September.  This can be ordered via the uniform order form.

I would be grateful if you could complete the form below with your child's swimming information to aid with ratios etc. by Sunday 21 April 2024.

Return Of Reading Books

We have a broad and stimulating range of reading scheme books for all children across the school. However, we do periodically suffer from books not being returned to school, which leaves us short.

As such, please could we ask all parents to check carefully at home and return to school any books they find at the start of Trinity Term. Books can be sent in with your child or you can leave them in the unifom box outside the main school entrance.

With thanks as always.

Goodbye To Mrs Morley And Mrs Shallcross

Staff and pupils at Crescent School have said a fond farewell to two very much-loved members of staff this week. Registrar, Mrs Helen Morley, and Dinner Lady, Mrs Lesley Shallcross are both retiring after together accruing over 50 years of dedicated service here at Crescent School.

Mrs Morley joined the Crescent back in 1998 and over the years has worked for four headteachers, first as school secretary, then PA to the Head, Bursar and finally as Registrar. She has been a terrific servant to the school for such a long time, supporting the senior leadership with her invaluable school knowledge, common sense and good advice, dealing with plenty of challenges and demands along the way, always with good humour.

As a member of the support staff, her contributions to the success of the school will have often gone unnoticed and yet behind the scenes, she has been the backbone to the school. Her work has supported all our pupils and parents as they pass through the school. Known for her incredible style, daily walks and love of a good roast dinner, she will be much missed by all.

Former Headmaster, Huw Marshall, comments, “As a Head one needs colleagues around you who you can trust completely to do a good job with common sense, honesty, integrity and loyalty. I couldn’t have asked for a better colleague that Helen Morley. It was a great pleasure to work with her and I wish her every happiness for her well-deserved retirement.”

Headmaster, Joe Thackway adds, “Helen’s positivity and hard work will be greatly missed. She has shown great commitment to the school, which together with her versatility and well organised approach has made her a much-valued member of the Crescent team. Her contributions have made a lasting impact, and her presence will be much missed.”

Then after serving up thousands of school dinners, Mrs Lesley Shallcross is also moving on. Another dedicated school servant, she has worked at Crescent in different capacities over the last 30 years, most recently in the kitchen. Known as a kind and wise soul, the care and attention she has generously lavished on all has made her much loved by children and staff.

Joe Thackway, continued, “Mrs Shallcross has been a wonderful member of our school community supporting generations of children who have passed through the school. She has always had such a calm and well-rounded disposition; she loves the children, and they all love her. We thank her for all her hard work and wish her every happiness in her retirement.”

Chair of Trustees, Liz Griffin, presented Mrs Morley and Mrs Shallcross with flowers, cards and gifts from us all here at Crescent School earlier this week at the Spring Concert. They leave with the very best wishes of the whole Crescent community and heartfelt thanks for everything they have done during their time here at Crescent School.

Pirates Versus Mermaids Was A Treasure

Year 2 delivered a swashbuckling performance on Wednesday morning for their Lent Term production, Pirates Versus Mermaids.

A lot of hard work had gone into the rehearsals, learning the songs, memorising lines, sorting out costumes, scenery and planning the production, and what a wonderful adventure it proved to be.

It told the story of trainee pirate, Captain Scarypants, and his crew, and the small problem that none of them can swim. Of course, the answer lies with the mermaids, but the pirates do not like the mermaids and the mermaids do not like the pirates. What unfolded provided lots of laughter as they all learnt to get along.

The production was fabulous and showcasing the talents, confidence and stage presence of Crescent School's young pupils. We hope you all enjoyed the show!

There's A Power In The Music At Crescent's Spring Concert

Crescent School's Spring Concert took place this afternoon, with the school hall packed with parents eager to be entertained by an afternoon of fine music and song. They were not disappointed!

The orchestra opened the concert, performing two pieces confidently, Yesterday and In The Mood, the impact of their recent orchestra workshop clear to see. They were followed by a mix of instrumental solos and music group performances, all showcasing their talent, hard work and dedication.

Brass Group belted out two well known pieces, Can You Feel The Love and Bare Necessities. Wacky Music then had great fun performing Wimoweh. While Flute Group performed a piece written specially for them, Spanish Vista.

Performing solos in the concert, many of them exam pieces, were Zac J on piano, Edward M on baritone, Thomas B on trumpet and Charlotte W on vocals.

The concert concluded with a powerful performance by the Choir. Pupils from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 sang four pieces enthusiastically, London’s Burning, River Song, Love In My Heart and There’s A Power In The Music.

Our enormous thanks and congratulations go to all Crescent School's accomplished performers who took to the stage in front of their proud parents, and of course to all their teachers and Director of Music, Julie Barnes who have helped them achieve so much.

Around The Classes

Year 3 History

This week in their History learning, Year 3 baked biscuits using a genuine ration recipe from the 1940s. The most interesting ingredient was mashed potato! The children enjoyed learning about how difficult rationing could be and how people on the Home Front had to be super creative with their cooking. Lollies made out of real carrots for Easter didn't seem to be a hit though!

Class 3SS English

This half term we have been creative in learning how calligrams are structured, how to add imagery and then create our own. The children chose their own animal to describe and then designed their own calligrams ready to display. 

Mrs Stapleton
Class 3SS English Teacher

Class 3SS Maths

As part of our learning objectives around telling the time, we practised timing events. Each pair had several tasks to do whilst timing each other using a stopwatch. A very engaging activity seeing how long it takes to write your name 20 times, do 50 star jumps and even to find Psalm 100 in the Bible! 

Mrs Stapleton
Class 3SS Form Teacher

Year 4 Sponsored Silence In English

As part of their fundraising efforts for Bwengu, Year 4 carried out a sponsored silence for 40 minutes! As this coincided with one of our English lessons, they had to be very independent in writing their poems without any help or any prompting from Ms Clark or Mrs Calder. Nobody spoke and everybody produced a lovely poem about an Easter egg by the end of the lesson.

Well done Year 4!

Ms Forth
Deputy Head

Class 5F RE

In RE this term, 5F have been looking at Christian values that we live by today. This week we were discussing the importance of honesty. The bible story of Zaccheaus, who was a liar and a thief whose life was transformed the day he climbed a tree and met with Jesus, was the basis of our opera! With the stage in place each group created a musical response full of emotion and we put it all together to recreate the story!  

Mrs Stapleton
Class 5F RE Teacher

Class 5F Science

Year 5 have been taking part in a Practical Action project. The task was to find ways to transport tomatoes down mountains for farmers in Nepal. The pupils created and tested pulley systems to transport tomatoes across two metres in the classroom. An incredible 149 tomatoes were transported within two minutes by the winning team!

Mrs Johnson
Head of Science and DT

Year 5 Film Editing - Final Movie Projects - Crescent's own answer to the Oscars!

As part of their unit in Computing on film editing, 5F worked industriously and creatively in groups to create the most amazing final movie projects. Not only did they plan, script, act and film the whole thing, they then used their new skills to cut and trim their film, adding amazing effects like sounds, filters, slow motion, wipes and fades! Please click on the link below to see their Oscar winning productions, possibly the first ever movies from the next generation of Spielbergs and Christopher Nolans!

Class 6W Responsibility Rotas

As we approach the end of term, 6W have to look forward to new roles and responsibilities as they change to the final duty team of the year; this involves working out fairly who should do which role.

They have learnt through the year to listen, take turns and to share.

Class 6W MFL

Class 6W have been learning about Easter customs and celebrations in Spanish speaking countries. They watched a video clip about the beautiful floor coverings that are created from dyed sawdust in the churches and streets of Guatemala. They are a symbol of gratitude for the gift of life. Here are the Year 6 pupils colouring their own variation of ‘una alfombra’.

Class 6W Art

Class 6W have been working on their landscape paintings this week. They have tried to create their own painting style, taking inspiration from other artists. They have combined colours, tones, and tints to enhance the mood of the piece and have use different brush techniques to create texture and depth.

Rugby Borough Council - Name The Recycling Lorry Competition

Rugby Borough Council is working to improve their recycling rate to meet the Government target of 55% by 2025. They are looking for schools to encourage the younger generation to pick up good recycling habits from a young age.

They are inviting primary school pupils to name a fleet of recycling lorries as part of a competition. Pupils need to colour in the picture of one of their lorries and give it a name on this entry sheet. Entries will be judged by the lorry name and not colouring skills.

Entries for Crescent School should be returned to Mrs Johnson by Friday 19 April, who will then submit them to the Council for the competition. There will be six winning names which will be printed on the side of each of our recycling lorries. In addition, each winner will receive a small prize, and an invitation to see their lorry and meet the Mayor of Rugby.

Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship – Top Tips for Children

A huge part of our work on Digital Citizenship in school is looking at not only how to keep ourselves safe online, but also how to make the digital world a better place for everyone. Please take a look at the this guide, Top Ten Tips for children to teach ‘netiquette’, to be friendly, productive, safe and respectful users of the internet, and to help ensure that every person has the opportunity to experience this. If you are thinking of having a chat with your child about safer internet use, this could be a perfect tool to get the conversation started.

If you have any questions about this, or any other aspects of Digital Citizenship, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Sport

U11s ISA Regionals Tag Rugby 7s Championship

The 'little school with big ambitions' motto could not have been truer on Friday as our two Crescent teams gave superb accounts of themselves at the U11s ISA Rugby at Princethorpe.

The A team sailed through their initial group, winning all five of their matches with real style and determination, qualifying for the afternoon finals in first place. Not to be outdone the B side (mostly Year 5s playing up a year) also did fantastically in their group, with two wins, two very narrow losses and an all important draw, meaning they finished 2nd in their group of six, also qualifying for the finals.

In a bizarre and unfortunate quirk of fate, this meant the As and Bs were drawn against each other in an all-Crescent knock-out semi final! Despite a very end-to-end game and some excellent weaving runs from the Bs, the A side emerged on top, their tight defence proving the difference between the teams.

This (again very coincidentally and strangely) then led to the Bs playing Crackley 'B' for 3rd place overall, and the As in the final against Crackley 'A', a seriously strong showing from the Foundation hosting the event!

Unfortunately both games went exactly the same way, a couple of early errors by Crescent, not helped by the horrendous rainstorm, enabling the Crackley sides to get ahead and despite strong comebacks, hold out for wins. This meant that out of 12 teams there on the day, Crescent finished both 2nd (having only lost 1 game all day) and 4th, seriously amazing results for such a small school!

The entire Crescent squad should be enormously proud of themselves, playing with skill, determination, resilience and wonderful sporting spirit throughout the entire tournament.

Players of the tournament were Timi for the As and Maxi for the Bs, although every single player left with their heads held very high 🏉

ISA Midlands U9 Girls Netball 

The U9 Netball girls had a great day out in the sunshine at Stafford Prep on Tuesday 19 March. 

12 schools had entered the tournament with Crescent taking part in the 7-a-side competition alongside four other schools. 

The girls enjoyed plenty of netball playing with enthusisam and determination, winning two matches and losing two. 

  • Tettenhall School - 6-0 win 
  • Twycross House - 5-3 loss 
  • Crackley Hall - 4-2 loss 
  • Mylnhurst Prep 3-1 win 

The girls finished joint 3rd on points, just missing out on the Bronze medal on goal difference. 

There was lots of development and improvement throughout the day. Well done to them all. 

Mrs McCollin and Mrs Kelsall 

 

U8 & U9 Netball @ Bilton Grange 

A lovely finish to the netball season for the Year 3 and 4 girls who travelled to Bilton Grange for a netball festival. All teams had plenty of netball, playing lots of short matches against every team having the opportunity to play in lots of different positions and try out all of the skills they have learnt over the last term. All of the girls performed well and were a credit to the school. 

Great work all. 

Mrs McCollin, Mrs Dowling, Ms Clarke, Mrs Calder and a special thanks to Mrs Williams for her help too. 

Upper School Girls Football V Repton  

Wednesday afternoon the Year 5 and 6 girls travelled to Repton for a double header. A great afternoon of football, with all team members working exceptionally hard  putting up some cracking performances. 

  • Green team winning 5-4 sealed with a well composed penalty from Sofie M
  • White team winning 7-0 with some great goals from Sophia and Emily
